Living in Meilust Zuid, Bergen op Zoom

Meilust Zuid is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Bergen op Zoom. The area has a distinct 1970s and 1980s character: wide streets, front gardens, many semi-detached and detached houses, interspersed with terraced houses. It is a neighbourhood where you can walk in the evening without it feeling busy or restless, and where most residents have lived for years. This is also reflected in the demographic composition: the largest age group is 45-65 years, with a significant group of over-65s. Young families are also present, but Meilust Zuid tends to attract movers and people who are further along in their housing career.

In terms of amenities, the location is practical. Groceries can be done in the immediate vicinity, with supermarkets within cycling distance towards the centre of Bergen op Zoom or the nearby shopping area on the Wouwsestraatweg. Primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood, and several secondary schools are accessible within Bergen op Zoom. Sports clubs, a tennis park and green spaces in the area give the neighbourhood a relaxed atmosphere. The Markiezenhof and the historic city centre of Bergen op Zoom are a short 15-minute bike ride away.

Accessibility by car is good: the A4 and A58 are quickly reachable via the northern arterial roads, convenient for commuters heading to Breda, Roosendaal or Antwerp. By bus, several lines take you to the centre and the NS station Bergen op Zoom, from where intercity trains run to Roosendaal and Vlissingen. Those dependent on public transport will find that the neighbourhood is not right around the corner from the station, but by bike that is no problem.

Residents of Meilust Zuid particularly appreciate the peace, space and green appearance of the neighbourhood. One resident aptly describes it: "You live spaciously here, the streets are wide and you know your neighbours. It's not a neighbourhood where a lot happens, but that's exactly why I live here." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited liveliness and the fact that you always have to drive or cycle for shops and restaurants.
