Buying a house in Kapelle: the housing market in 2026
Kapelle is a compact Zeeland municipality on Zuid-Beveland, wedged between Goes and the Westerscheldetunnel towards Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. With around 13,000 residents, it is not a large municipality, but that is precisely what makes Kapelle attractive for people seeking peace and space without being far from amenities. The A58 runs straight through the municipality, meaning you can be in Goes within ten minutes and in Middelburg or Bergen op Zoom in half an hour. Many residents work at companies in the Goes region or at Dow Chemical in Terneuzen, accessible via the Westerscheldetunnel.
The housing market in Kapelle is heavily focused on owner-occupied homes: as much as 77% of the 5,530 homes are owner-occupied, compared to just 23% rental. The average WOZ value is €332,000. Over the past twelve months, 115 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €417,869, with a range of €202,000 to €995,000. That is significantly higher than the WOZ value, indicating that the market is active and buyers are willing to pay above the appraised value. Supply is limited for a municipality of this size, so do not expect a wide choice. At the top of this page you will find the current housing supply with the latest asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl combines neighbourhood scores, resident reviews and listings from more than 1,500 sources, so you not only find a home but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Kapelle
The municipality of Kapelle consists of three main centres, each with its own character and atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a family home in the village of Kapelle itself, prefer the tranquillity of Wemeldinge or are considering rural Schore, the differences are greater than you might think at first glance. Below is an honest overview per centre.
Kapelle, the beating heart of the municipality
The village of Kapelle is by far the largest centre and has the most amenities: supermarkets, primary schools, GPs, sports clubs and a direct connection to the A58. Families and movers who appreciate the combination of village living and good accessibility mainly live here. Residents give the village a strong neighbourhood score of 7.8 based on 6 reviews, with particularly high marks for safety and beauty. Prices here are around or slightly above the municipal average, especially for newer homes on the eastern side of the village. View the housing supply in Kapelle village for the current situation.
Wemeldinge, village living on the Oosterschelde
Wemeldinge lies directly on the Oosterschelde and attracts people who love water and nature. It is a small village with a marina, a few catering establishments and a close-knit community. One resident describes it as: "Quiet village with a beautiful view over the Oosterschelde, but you have to go to Kapelle or Goes for groceries." The neighbourhood score is 7.0 based on 1 review. Homes in Wemeldinge are sometimes cheaper than in Kapelle village, but detached houses with a view over the water can be considerably more expensive. For first-time buyers, it can be an interesting option, provided you are not daily dependent on amenities around the corner. Discover what is for sale in Wemeldinge.
Schore, rural and affordable
Schore is the smallest centre in the municipality, a true ribbon village with an agricultural character. Here you will find spacious plots and detached houses at prices that are generally below the municipal average. It is a place for people who consciously choose peace and space, and do not mind that the nearest supermarket is a few kilometres away. The neighbourhood score of 5.6 (based on 1 review) is the lowest in the municipality, which is partly explained by the limited level of amenities. Those who accept that get plenty of square metres in return. View the available homes in Schore.
In addition to these three centres, the municipality also has smaller hamlets and rural areas. For a complete picture of all ratings and experiences of residents, you can visit the municipality page of Kapelle, where all reviews and neighbourhood scores are collected.
What to look out for when buying a home in Kapelle?
Firstly: choose your centre consciously. The difference between Kapelle village and Schore is enormous in terms of amenities, accessibility and atmosphere. If you have children, Kapelle village is best because of the primary schools and sports clubs. Wemeldinge is nice if you love water, but you are dependent on the car for almost everything.
Secondly: allow for a tight market. With 115 sales in a year and limited new supply, you need to act quickly when something suitable comes up. Overbidding is less extreme in Kapelle than in the Randstad, but it does happen, especially for attractive family homes under €400,000.
Thirdly: check the energy labels. The average gas consumption in the municipality is 1,080 m³, which is relatively low, but older homes in the ribbons of Schore and Wemeldinge can deviate significantly. Always ask for the energy label and factor in insulation costs.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to objectively compare neighbourhoods before you go viewing. That saves time and disappointment. And if you prefer to rent, also check out the rental homes in Kapelle, although the rental supply is limited at 23% of the stock.
What residents say about living in Kapelle
Residents rate the municipality of Kapelle a 7.4 out of 10 based on 8 reviews. Safety (8.5) and beauty (8.4) score notably high, while amenities score the lowest at 5.9. That picture fits: Kapelle is a safe, tidy municipality, but for extensive shopping or nightlife you are dependent on Goes. A resident of Kapelle village writes: "Nice and safe village to raise children, but do not expect a vibrant nightlife." Curious about all experiences? Read all reviews of Kapelle.
