Living in Wolphaartsdijk: a village with character on the Veerse Meer

Wolphaartsdijk is not an ordinary commuter neighbourhood. It is a real village, located on the peninsula between the Veerse Meer and the Oosterschelde, and you notice that as soon as you walk around. The ribbon development along the Dorpsstraat, the old church as an anchor point, the harbour where you see sailing boats. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Wolphaartsdijk describe the atmosphere as quiet and social: "You really still know your neighbours here" is a recurring comment. Nature and water are consistently mentioned as a plus point. A critical note that also regularly comes up: amenities are limited and for larger shopping trips you have to rely on Goes.

And that is true. Wolphaartsdijk has a primary school, a GP practice and a small supermarket for daily groceries, but you will not find a wide range of shops or a secondary school here. Children cycle or take the bus to Goes for secondary education. In terms of sports, there is the local football club and opportunities on the water for water sports enthusiasts, which makes the village popular with sailors and kayakers. For those who love the outdoors, the dikes and the Veerse Meer are directly accessible, also from the scattered houses on the edge of Wolphaartsdijk.
