Living in Hogeweg: quiet, green and close to the coast

Hogeweg is the kind of neighbourhood where you see a pheasant crossing your driveway in the morning and where you know your neighbours by name. It is a ribbon development along the Hogeweg and some side roads, situated between the village centre of Haamstede and the forests towards Westenschouwen. The homes are a mix of older detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by newer villas and bungalows. Many plots are spacious, with large gardens and sometimes views over the fields or the greenery of the Zeepeduinen area.

For amenities, you rely on the village centre of Haamstede, a few minutes' bike ride away. There you will find an Albert Heijn, bakery, pharmacy and GP practice. Primary school De Burght is in nearby Burgh, and for secondary education children must go to Zierikzee. For sports, there are opportunities at tennis club De Strandbal and football club MEVO on the edge of Haamstede. The beach of Burgh-Haamstede is within ten minutes by bike, and the forests of Boswachterij Westerschouwen border the neighbourhood.

Accessibility is typical for Zeeland: you need a car. Via the N57 you can reach the A29 towards Rotterdam in about twenty minutes, but expect traffic in summer. Bus line 133 (Connexxion) connects Haamstede with Zierikzee and Renesse, but the frequency is limited, especially in the evenings. There is no train station; the nearest railway station is Rotterdam via the bus connection to Zierikzee and then the Flixbus or waterbus.

Residents of Hogeweg particularly appreciate the peace and nature. "You really live here in the green, within walking distance of the most beautiful forests in Zeeland," writes a resident on the neighbourhood page of Hogeweg. That peace has a downside: in high season, traffic on the N57 and towards the beach can increase significantly, and the winter months are quiet, sometimes too quiet for those used to urban vibrancy. Compared to neighbouring Nieuw-Haamstede, Hogeweg is even more rural, while the district Haamstede-dorp offers more amenities within walking distance. Westenschouwen is even more remote but attracts many holidaymakers. Check the reviews and neighbourhood scores on the main page of Hogeweg for a complete picture.
