House prices in Terneuzen Oost: well above the municipal average

The average WOZ value is €415,000, almost double the municipal average of €236,000 for Terneuzen as a whole.

Over the past twelve months, 77 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €478,247, with a range from €149,500 to €799,000 and an average living area of 152 m².

Othene and the Schelde: living in Terneuzen Oost has its own character

Living in Terneuzen Oost feels different from living in the older neighbourhoods of the municipality. The largest part of the neighbourhood consists of Othene, a relatively young district that is still under development. Resident Joanna describes it aptly: "Still a fairly young neighbourhood where various homes are still being built. Very young neighbourhood with many children. Enjoy living here." You can also see that dynamic in the figures: the largest age group is 45-65 years, but there are also many families with children, accounting for 790 households with children. The neighbourhood scores 8.5 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, with highs for green space (9.7), safety (9.3) and cleanliness (9.3). Those are no small scores.

The green space is indeed strikingly present. Resident Spidifeer describes the surroundings as "very open with lots of greenery and water features" and points to the walking paths along the river Schelde and the roads leading to the polder. That combination of space, water and tranquillity is not a given for a neighbourhood within walking distance of a town centre. Laan van Othene provides a quick connection to the rest of Terneuzen and to the N61 towards Goes and Ghent. However, for daily shopping and amenities, there is a caveat: the score for amenities stands at 6.3, the lowest sub-score. Resident Tim confirms this: "There are enough amenities such as schools, but few shops." For a larger supermarket or shopping street, you have to rely on the centre of Terneuzen, a few minutes' drive away. Public transport in the neighbourhood is limited; a car is practically indispensable. More background on the neighbourhood, including all resident experiences, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Terneuzen Oost.

Schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, although education scores a 7.5, slightly lower than the other categories. For secondary education, students rely on the centre of Terneuzen. Those who want a more active lifestyle can enjoy the walking and cycling routes along the Schelde and through the polders. Those looking to explore similar neighbourhoods can also look at Kern Hoek or Kern Axel, two other owner-occupied neighbourhoods in the municipality with their own character. More information about the municipality and its plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Terneuzen.

For whom is buying a home in Terneuzen Oost a good choice?

The average sale price of €478,247 and the low availability of cheaper apartments make the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers. When buying in Terneuzen Oost, do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and any structural survey can together quickly add up to 5-6% of the purchase price.
