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 AIWe had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap. Most people want to leave here.
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 Weststraat 36A, Oostburg
The asking price of €275,000 is 19% below the average asking price in Oostburg (€340,959) and also below the median of €299,000. Given the 144 m² floor area, that works out at about €1,910 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €2,664 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the energy label D and 1937 build mean some renovation may be needed.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation. Some residents feel the area has declined, with comments about untidiness and a rough atmosphere. Others mention issues with neighbours and parking. The population is older, with many single-person households. It's not a bustling urban area, the urbanity score is low (4 out of 5), so it's quiet but with basic shops and schools within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
There are three schools within about 500,600 metres: Basisschool Sint Bavo (238 pupils), Basisschool de Berenburcht (130 pupils), and Zwin College for secondary education (748 pupils). All are within a five- to ten-minute walk.
The energy label is D, which is average for a house of this age. In Oostburg, 30.8% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like insulation could bring it up to a better rating.
There are currently 37 homes for sale in Oostburg, with prices ranging from €140,000 to €865,000. The average time on market for sold homes is 103 days, so it's not a fast-moving market.
