Living in Biggekerke: Zeeland at its quietest, but not remote

Biggekerke is a small village on Walcheren, nestled between the dunes and the open Zeeland polder landscape. With 880 inhabitants, it is not a neighbourhood buzzing with activity, and that is precisely what many people are looking for here. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and half of the households are married. Families with children are fewer than in more urban neighbourhoods, but those seeking space, peace and a solid owner-occupied home quickly feel at home here. On the neighbourhood page of Biggekerke you can read what residents themselves say about their village, including scores per category such as liveability, green space and safety. Residents often describe Biggekerke as a place where you know your neighbours, where children still play outside, and where the tranquillity of the countryside literally begins around the corner.

Facilities in Biggekerke itself are limited, and every resident knows that. There is no supermarket in the village; for that you drive to Koudekerke or Middelburg, both a few minutes away by car. There is no primary school in the village itself; children attend one of the schools in the surrounding areas. What Biggekerke does have is direct access to the dunes and the beach of Dishoek, within cycling distance. Walking and cycling routes through the polder landscape literally start at your front door. Those looking for more urban amenities can reach Middelburg within ten to fifteen minutes by car. Middelburg has a train station with connections to Goes and Vlissingen. Biggekerke itself does not have a bus stop with frequent service; a car is practically indispensable.

Within Biggekerke there are several sub-areas. De Ruiser is a quiet residential area on the edge of the village. Those seeking more space and privacy also look at the scattered houses outside the recreation area or at the homes in the recreation area, where the line between living and holiday atmosphere is thin. The municipality of Veere has more information about living, permits and local regulations at veere.nl.
