Living in Dauwendaele II, Middelburg
Dauwendaele II is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the west side of Middelburg, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are clearly laid out, the homes generally have a garden, and there is ample parking in the district. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features or a lively streetscape, but that is not why people choose to live here. Those who live here choose peace, space, and a central location relative to the amenities of Middelburg.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores remarkably well: residents give it a 10 out of 10. That is not an exaggeration. Shopping centre Dauwendaele is within walking distance and offers several supermarkets and daily shops. Middelburg station is easily accessible by bicycle, and via the N57 and the connection to the A58, the neighbourhood is quickly linked to Vlissingen and Goes. Bus connections to the centre of Middelburg run regularly. The municipality of Middelburg itself provides additional information about mobility and amenities via middelburg.nl.
For schools, families are well catered for in and around the neighbourhood: there are primary schools within cycling distance and secondary education is accessible in the nearby centre of Middelburg. Residents rate the education provision at 7 out of 10. The amenities score is also a perfect 10, which aligns with the presence of the shopping centre within a short distance. Yet there is also criticism: one resident honestly writes: "Nice neighbourhood. Wouldn't want to live here for the rest of my life." The same resident reports being bothered by groups of young people and misses a chemist in the shopping centre. The lack of natural spots for walking is also mentioned as a downside, which explains the low green score of 4 out of 10. Those seeking greenery and tranquillity outside the built-up area will not quickly find it in Dauwendaele II.
The safety score of 8 out of 10 and a cleanliness score of 7 out of 10 give a reasonably positive picture, but the community score of 5 out of 10 suggests that neighbourhood ties are limited. The overall resident rating stands at 6.9 out of 10. More reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Dauwendaele II.
Compared to neighbouring communities, Dauwendaele II has a slightly different profile than Dauwendaele I, which has a similar structure but differs slightly in population composition.

Who is a home in Dauwendaele II interesting for?

The combination of ground-floor homes with a garden, a quiet living environment, and good accessibility makes Dauwendaele II attractive for families and dual-income earners who do not necessarily need to live in the centre. Starters find fewer starter homes here: the average sale price of over €373,000 and a minimum price of €225,000 make buying in Dauwendaele II financially challenging for starters. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at the rental homes in Dauwendaele II as an alternative. Keep in mind that supply is limited: only 18 homes were sold in the past year, so acting quickly pays off.

A lot of nuisance (groups of youngsters etc.), but it is in a nice location. Plenty of supermarkets and other shops, although I think the shopping centre could use a chemist. There aren't really any natural spots for walking unfortunately, and there aren't many homes that a first-time buyer could actually move into. What could be better: the nuisance remains the most annoying thing for me, more places for young people so they don't have to hang out in the car park in front of my house or in the shopping centre would be nice.
