Living in Sint Philipsland: a Zeeland island feel with peace and space
Sint Philipsland is located on the former island of Sint Philipsland, wedged between the Volkerak and the Grevelingenmeer. This gives the village a very own atmosphere: open polder land, vastness, and a community small enough to know each other. On the neighbourhood page of Sint Philipsland you can read what residents themselves think of their village. What comes back in the reviews is the peace and safety, but also the honesty that facilities are limited. One resident describes it aptly: "It is quiet, green and safe here. You do have to know that for larger shopping you drive to Tholen or Bergen op Zoom."
And that is correct. In the village itself there is a primary school, a community centre and a modest range of shops for daily needs. For a supermarket, GP or secondary school you have to rely on surrounding places. There is something to do sportswise: the local football club and various water sports opportunities on the Grevelingenmeer attract enthusiasts from outside the village. The surrounding landscape is excellent for cycling and walking. The neighbourhood Anna Jacobapolder and the scattered houses of Sint Philipsland are part of the same rural area and have a similarly quiet character.
Accessibility is a point to be honest about. Sint Philipsland has no train station. The nearest stations are Roosendaal and Bergen op Zoom, both about 30 to 40 minutes away by car. Bus connections are limited and not suitable for daily commuting to the city. By car, you are connected to the rest of Zeeland and North Brabant via the N257 and the Haringvlietbrug. For those who work in the Tholen or Roosendaal region, that is doable, but commuting to Rotterdam or Breda requires discipline. The municipality itself offers more information about local facilities and plans via the website of the municipality of Tholen.
For whom is a home in Sint Philipsland a good choice?
Sint Philipsland mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit community. First-time buyers sometimes still find a starter home under €250,000, but supply is limited and changes quickly. Anyone wanting to buy a home must take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. At the higher price ranges, that adds up quickly.
