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 AIWe had a beautiful neighbourhood. Neat streets everywhere tidy. It's starting to look like a rough area now. Sloppy dirty.

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 Brouwerijstraat 51, Oostburg
The asking price of €265,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Oostburg (€340,959) and also below the median of €299,000. Given the 120 m² floor area and E energy label, it's priced keenly for a home that needs some updating. However, the neighbourhood reviews suggest a mixed living environment, which may factor into the price.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Oostburg, 30.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a house built in 1954.
Oostburg has 4,310 residents, with a large proportion of older people (31% over 65). It's a moderately urban area. Resident reviews give an average score of 6.57, with comments about decline and neighbour disputes. Some residents feel the area has become less tidy and that many want to leave. It's a mixed picture, so visiting is recommended.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool Sint Bavo (210 m) and Basisschool de Berenburcht (318 m). For secondary education, Zwin College (639 m) offers VMBO, HAVO, Atheneum and Gymnasium. All are within a ten-minute walk.
Jumbo and Lidl are both 338 m away, just a couple of streets. Albert Heijn is 650 m (a ten-minute walk), and Aldi is 716 m. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this is not a location for commuting by rail.
In the most recent data, there were 141 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a moderate figure for a town of this size, but it's worth noting that some residents mention a decline in the area's appearance and feel.
