The Vestinggronden-Noord neighbourhood is the old town, with a high density of pre-war buildings and a very strong urban feel (address density over 3,000 per km²). Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One says: 'I really enjoy living here, but I don't really feel very safe or anything. Maybe because I've been living here for 3 weeks and my license plates were already stolen.. oh well. The accessibility is okay but there are a lot of one-way streets which is a bit annoying because you have to take a detour. You have to pay for parking almost everywhere, so that's a bit of a downside. On the other hand, there are many shops and facilities within easy reach. And there are nice parks and bits of nature. There are many different cultures in one city.' Another simply rates it 'Good'. The area has many single-person households and a mix of ages, with a large share of older residents.
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within a five-minute walk: RK Basisschool Sancta Maria and Montessori Kindcentrum Bergen op Zoom are both close. Secondary school MollerJuvenaat is also just around the corner. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The municipality of Bergen op Zoom provides the wider context for this historic town.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Helmig Makelaardij en Taxatieburo o.z. B.V. and on Funda.

I really enjoy living here, I've only been living here for a short while. But strangely enough, I don't really feel very safe or anything. Maybe because I've been living here for 3 weeks and my license plates were already stolen.. oh well. The accessibility is okay but there are a lot of one-way streets which is a bit annoying because you have to take a detour. You have to pay for parking almost everywhere, so that's a bit of a downside. On the other hand, there are many shops and facilities within easy reach. And there are nice parks and bits of nature. There are many different cultures in one city.
