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 Ceres 15, Oostburg
The asking price of €159,000 is 53% below the neighbourhood average of €340,959. However, the studio is also 69% smaller than the average home in Oostburg (43 m² vs 139 m²). Given the compact size and the local market, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio of this type.
The energy label is C, which is average for the area. In Oostburg, 38.5% of homes have label C, while 30.8% have a lower rating. A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, so heating costs should be moderate.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this home is not ideal for commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
Reviews are mixed. One resident says it's "a dead-end street with far too many cars" and mentions issues with waste collection and neighbour disputes. Another says the area has "gone from beautiful to ugly." However, with only nine reviews, this may not reflect everyone's experience.
