Living in Meilust Noord, Bergen op Zoom

Meilust Noord is a typical post-war expansion neighbourhood, largely built in the 1970s. You can tell from the wide streets, spacious plots and predominantly ground-level homes: terraced houses and semi-detached houses define the streetscape, with the occasional detached house. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but that is not why people choose it. They choose it for peace, space and a neighbourhood that simply works well.

The population is ageing: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (945 out of 2,450 residents), but that picture is slowly shifting. As one resident aptly puts it: "A 50-year-old neighbourhood where more and more first-time buyers are now coming to live." This mix of established, older residents and newcomers creates a quiet but not dull atmosphere. On the street you are greeted warmly, and contact with neighbours is good, confirms the same resident who has only lived in the neighbourhood for three months.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores highly. There is a supermarket within walking distance, making daily shopping easy. For broader shopping needs, the centre of Bergen op Zoom is easily accessible: on foot it takes about twenty minutes, by bike you are there in a quarter of an hour. Bergen op Zoom railway station is also within walking distance, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters too. For more information about the municipality, visit the website of Bergen op Zoom for information on municipal facilities and developments in the area.

There are also green spaces in the neighbourhood, although they are not large parks. Scattered green strips and small parks ensure that the neighbourhood does not feel stony. Resident scores confirm this: green space scores 8.0, accessibility 9.0 and safety even 9.0. These are figures you do not come across in every city neighbourhood. Education also scores 9.0, which is a relevant signal for young families and first-time buyers with children. There are primary schools accessible in and around the neighbourhood.

Compared to sister neighbourhood Meilust Zuid, Meilust Noord has a slightly quieter character. Tuinwijk and Noordgeest are other neighbourhoods in the same district, each with their own atmosphere.

Who is a home in Meilust Noord suitable for?

Meilust Noord suits first-time buyers who want to take a first step onto the owner-occupied market: the lower limit of €295,000 makes entry possible, although you have to reckon with competition. Seniors who have lived in the neighbourhood for a long time or want to move there will also find a familiar and easily accessible environment. Families benefit from the safety, the green streets and the proximity of schools. An honest drawback: supply is limited, only 17 homes were sold last year. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Meilust Noord should know that supply is scarce; the neighbourhood mainly consists of ground-level homes. If you want more options, the broader supply in Bergen op Zoom offers more choice.
