Living in Boulevards Bankert and Evertsen, Vlissingen

Anyone walking along the boulevards of Bankert and Evertsen immediately understands why people want to live here. This is the seafront boulevard of Vlissingen: a long strip between the Westerschelde and the buildings, where during storms you see the waves crashing over the stones and on calm days you watch large container ships sail past towards Antwerp. The neighbourhood stretches along Boulevard Bankert and Boulevard Evertsen, roughly from Badstrand to Nollestrand. It is not an ordinary residential area with terraced houses, but a neighbourhood with predominantly apartments and upper floors in characteristic buildings, interspersed with some detached houses and townhouses from the early twentieth century. Many buildings date from the post-war reconstruction period and the 1960s and 1970s, although there are also newer complexes.

The atmosphere is quiet, almost serene outside the high season. In summer, the boulevard attracts tourists, but it remains manageable. The population is striking: of the 715 residents, no fewer than 475 are over 65. You notice this in the pace of the neighbourhood. It is quiet, there are few children (only 15 aged 0-15) and 240 of the households are single-person. Yet 52% of residents are married, indicating older couples spending their retirement here with a sea view.

In terms of amenities, you rely on the city centre of Vlissingen, which is within walking or cycling distance. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Lidl can be found in the centre or towards Bonedijkestraat and surroundings. Along the boulevard itself there are restaurants, a few terraces and the Arsenaal. For schools, families need to go to surrounding neighbourhoods such as Vredehof Zuid or Bloemenlaan and surroundings Oost. Accessibility is reasonable: Vlissingen station is about a ten-minute bike ride away and offers direct trains to Middelburg and via a connection to Roosendaal and beyond. By car, you can reach the N254 and A58 within a quarter of an hour. Connexxion bus lines stop near the boulevard.

Residents particularly appreciate the view and the tranquillity. On the page of Boulevards Bankert and Evertsen you can read reviews where the sea view and walking opportunities are repeatedly mentioned. "The view of the Westerschelde is different every day and makes up for everything," writes one resident. There are also criticisms: the wind can be fierce, parking is difficult in the summer months due to tourists, and some buildings are in need of maintenance. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Het Fort and surroundings or the Binnenstad, you pay a hefty premium here, but that is offset by a unique living location that cannot be found anywhere else in Vlissingen.

Who is a home for sale in Boulevards Bankert and Evertsen interesting for?
