Living in Poortvliet: a village where you still know your neighbours
Poortvliet has around 1,780 inhabitants and has the character of a close-knit Zeeland village. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but there are also many families with children, accounting for 280 households. You notice this in the atmosphere: quiet, orderly, with short lines. On the neighbourhood page of Poortvliet you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and social cohesion. One reviewer describes it as: "You know everyone here, and if something is wrong, someone is always there to help." The downside that several residents mention is the limited level of facilities for daily shopping and going out.
In terms of facilities, Poortvliet has a primary school, a community centre, and a number of sports clubs, including a football club. For larger grocery shopping, you drive to Sint-Maartensdijk or the town of Tholen, about five to ten minutes away.

The municipality provides more information about local facilities and policy via the website of the municipality of Tholen.

Those who want to combine the peace of the countryside with a bit more urban facilities can also look at Sint-Maartensdijk or the town of Tholen, which are slightly larger and have more supply.
For which buyers is Poortvliet a good choice?
