Living in De Beek, Bergen op Zoom
De Beek is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of the former village of Halsteren, which is now part of the municipality of Bergen op Zoom.

The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with terraced houses, semi-detached homes, and a fair number of detached houses on spacious plots. This also explains the variation in sale prices.
