Living in De Markiezaten, Bergen op Zoom

De Markiezaten is a relatively young residential neighbourhood on the west side of Bergen op Zoom, recognisable by its modern, green and well-maintained streetscapes. The homes are predominantly new-build or recently built, with a clear focus on sustainability: many homes are gas-free and have solar panels, allowing residents to achieve net-zero energy consumption. This is no coincidence; it was a deliberate choice during the development of this district. The average energy consumption of 3,000 kWh of electricity and 510 m³ of gas confirms this picture, although the figures vary widely per home depending on the degree of sustainability measures.

Resident Loes describes it as a "lovely and safe, clean, modern living environment with plenty of parking" and emphasises the "environmentally friendly character" of the neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood scores a 10 for both green space and safety in resident reviews, which is remarkably high for a residential neighbourhood in a medium-sized city.
