The neighbourhood: Oostburg

The area has a moderate urban density, with 800 addresses per km², and a mix of families and older residents. Oostburg is a place where many people have lived for years.

Frequently asked questions
About Nieuwstraat 30, Oostburg
Was €385,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €385,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €340,959 and the median of €299,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (111 m² vs 139 m² average for sold homes). The price per m² worked out to about €3,468, which was higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,664 per m². So it was priced at a premium, partly due to its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, about 19% of homes have label A, 12% label B, 39% label C, and 31% label D or lower. So this home is on the less efficient end of the scale.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Oostburg has a mix of households: about 23% are families with children, 30% are households without children, and 41% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a secondary school nearby. However, some residents have noted a decline in the area's appearance and social issues.
What are the nearest shops and amenities?
You have an Albert Heijn 211 metres away, and Aldi, Jumbo and Lidl all within 300 metres. A restaurant is 600 metres away, and a park is just 200 metres from the door. For a doctor, the nearest practice is 1.2 km away. The train station is 48.9 km away, so you'll rely on a car for longer trips.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The listing did not specify the number of rooms or bedrooms.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
What is the public transport like?
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so rail connections are very limited. A car is practically essential for getting around from this location.
