Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis listing on Oudestad in Oostburg is a purchase opportunity at €155,000. This listing does not state a house number, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The price is 55% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €340,959, which is striking but without property details it is hard to judge. For context, see other homes in Sluis.

New residents, sneaky, accuse me of a rat infestation, I get the housing association on my back. There is no rat infestation. Harassing, they want to get rid of me, that's clear, but I'm not leaving a house where I've lived since 2003. Those PMD bags are put out at times when they're not collected, that attracts vermin. Everyone is very much to themselves, I don't mind because I am too. Dogs bark, one sits locked in a cage all day, never goes outside, maybe gets walked once every 6 months. Next to me they have guinea pigs outside in a hutch, food scraps everywhere, and then I'm accused of a rat infestation? I don't even have a pet, I regularly have a gardener come because I can't do it myself anymore. Mould in the bathroom, airing doesn't help. Kitchen installed, a complete farce, but a woman can't read drawings *cough* and then they come a year ago asking if I want a different kitchen, I'm not going to sit in the noise and mess for another whole week, and there's nothing wrong with that kitchen.

Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally good, I have no contact with 1 neighbour; quarrel is a strong word but several people have had difficulties with this neighbour. It is a fairly quiet neighbourhood and I have good contact with some people, the neighbours across the street are friends. But it's not like it used to be, the social cohesion has decreased. The cohesion that exists takes place between small and thus separate groups on the street. But overall, it's good living, fairly quiet.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe poor road surface was supposed to be replaced ten years ago, along with the sewer system. A few neighbours are sociable towards various people. Many people on the street have little contact with each other. The municipality of Sluis is only concerned with increasing the burden on citizens every year, as well as the water board, etc. You don't see them and you don't hear from them!

About Oudestad, Oostburg
The asking price of €155,000 is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €340,959. However, this listing does not state the floor area, property type or year of construction, so it is impossible to compare directly. The low price may reflect the incomplete information or the specific condition of the home, but without details it remains unclear.
Oostburg is a quiet, suburban area with mostly single-family homes and a large share of older residents. Reviews are mixed: some residents feel the area has declined, with complaints about litter and a lack of community spirit. Others appreciate the peace and quiet. The neighbourhood has basic amenities within walking distance, including supermarkets and schools.
Yes, several supermarkets are within a few minutes' walk: Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Lidl are all around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk (Basisschool Sint Bavo and Basisschool de Berenburcht) and a secondary school (Zwin College) within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this home is not suitable for daily commuting by train. Car or bus connections would be needed for longer journeys.
The agent (My House Vastgoed) has published only the street and price on several platforms. As a result, the page focuses on the street and neighbourhood rather than the home itself.
The asking price of €155,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €340,959 and even below the minimum price of €140,000 for available homes. However, without knowing the floor area or property type, it is impossible to say whether the price is fair. The incomplete listing means you cannot assess value per square metre.
