In addition to these cores, Hansweert, Waarde and Oostdijk are also worth exploring. Hansweert on the canal through Zuid-Beveland has the lowest neighbourhood score (5.7) and struggles with limited amenities, but therefore offers the sharpest prices. Waarde and Oostdijk are small, quiet villages for those truly seeking peace. Read all ratings and reviews of Reimerswaal to compare the cores properly.
What to look out for when buying a house in Reimerswaal?
Firstly: the differences between the cores are large. Yerseke and Kruiningen have the most amenities, while in Waarde or Oostdijk you are really dependent on the car. Check per core what shops, schools and care are available before you decide. Secondly: the owner-occupied market in Reimerswaal is less overheated than in the Randstad, but popular homes in Yerseke and Krabbendijke sell quickly. Be prepared for the possibility that you may need to bid slightly above the asking price. Thirdly: pay attention to the condition of older homes. Many houses date from the 1960s and 1970s and the average gas consumption in the municipality (1,090 m³) indicates that not all homes are well insulated. A structural survey is not a luxury here. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare objectively. The scores for safety (8.8) and housing (9.0) are notably high, but amenities (6.6) and green space (6.8) score lower. Would you rather consider renting a home in Reimerswaal?

It's a nice neighbourhood where everyone knows each other and will always help each other, and together we keep it tidy. I do regret that there are so few shops and other fun activities. Recently, our street has become part of a 'joy and sorrow street' or something like that. That's very nice, it helps us get to know each other even better.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery quiet neighbourhood with many young families but also some older people living in bungalows. Hardly any traffic in our neighbourhood and it looks clean. A bit more greenery would be nice but there's nothing to complain about. The centre is easily accessible from our neighbourhood.
