Homes for sale in Sint Laurens, Middelburg

House prices in Sint Laurens: well above the Middelburg average

Sint Laurens is a distinctly owner-occupied neighbourhood. As many as 91% of the 418 homes are owner-occupied, with only 9% rented out. This says something about the character of the area: people come here to live and stay. The average WOZ value is €316,000, which is clearly higher than the municipal average of €259,000 for Middelburg. That difference reflects the type of housing that dominates here: spacious single-family homes and detached houses, not apartment blocks. Over the past twelve months, 16 homes were sold, with an average sale price of €456,462 and an average living area of 144 m². The range was notably wide: from €199,000 to €1,429,900, indicating that both entry-level homes and substantial villas change hands. For current asking prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Anyone considering buying an apartment in Sint Laurens should know that this type of home is hardly available here. The supply consists almost entirely of ground-floor homes, often with a garden and garage. This makes Sint Laurens interesting for movers and people seeking space, but less suitable for those specifically looking for an apartment in a more urban environment.

Living in Sint Laurens: a village that belongs to Middelburg but has its own pace

Sint Laurens is formally a district of Middelburg, but feels like an independent village. The development is open, the streets are quiet, and most residents know each other. That is not a cliché: it is what you hear back from people who live there. On the Sint Laurens neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their area. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and space, but also the limited walking distance to daily amenities. One resident aptly described it: "You have all the space you want here, but for a big shop you still drive to Middelburg."

That nuance is honest. Sint Laurens has a primary school and a small community facility, but you won't find a supermarket or GP within walking distance. If you are used to having everything around the corner, you need to adjust that expectation. That also applies to public transport: the bus connection to the centre of Middelburg exists, but the frequency is limited. By car, you are in the city centre in about ten minutes, and the connection to the N57 towards Vlissingen and the A58 towards Goes and Breda is good. There is no train station in Sint Laurens itself; the nearest station is Middelburg, a few kilometres away.

Within Sint Laurens, the neighbourhoods Popkensburg and Rozenhof are the most recognisable sub-areas. The homes in Popkensburg often have a somewhat newer appearance, while Rozenhof has a greener, quieter atmosphere. If you want more urban amenities but still want to stay nearby, you can also look at Klarenbeek or Griffioen, two districts in Middelburg that offer a different type of living environment. For those who appreciate the historic character of Zeeland, the Middelburg city centre is also worth a look. The municipality itself publishes up-to-date information about amenities, plans and permits via middelburg.nl.

For whom is a home for sale in Sint Laurens the right choice?

Sint Laurens mainly attracts families with older children, people who consciously choose peace outside the city, and seniors who have lived in the area for a long time. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average sale price of over €456,000 and few small homes in the supply, the entry level is high. In addition to the purchase price, also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees and possible renovation costs for older homes. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Sint Laurens as a temporary alternative.
