Oude Binnenstad, Vlissingen
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On Boulevard De Ruyter, facing the sea, this 1936 townhouse stands out with its generous 163 m² of living space. The energy label C is decent for a pre-war home. At €899,000, the price is well above the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size, which is a third larger than typical homes in the Oude Binnenstad. For context, terraced houses in Vlissingen vary widely, but this one is at the top end.
The neighbourhood Oude Binnenstad is the historic heart of Vlissingen, with a dense urban feel (2,222 addresses per km²). It's a mix of ages: nearly half the homes were built before 1945, and a quarter are single-family. Many residents live alone (1,550 one-person households), and the average household size is just 1.5. The area has a lively, walkable character, with restaurants just 200 metres away and a park within a ten-minute walk. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood.
For groceries, you have Aldi and Albert Heijn both just around the corner. Two primary schools are a couple of streets away: Archipelschool Frans Naerebout and Ichtusschool, both within a five-minute walk. The municipality Vlissingen offers further amenities, though secondary education is a bit further out. The train station is 4.3 km away, so a car or bike is handy for longer journeys.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Steendijk Makelaars.

About Boulevard De Ruyter 12, Vlissingen
The asking price is 131% above the neighbourhood average of €388,877, but this home is also 33% larger than the typical home in the Oude Binnenstad (163 m² vs 123 m²). The highest-priced home in the area recently sold for €1,095,000, so this is on the high side but not unprecedented for a property of this size and location on the seafront.
The energy label is C, which is reasonable for a home built in 1936. It means the home has some insulation and double glazing in parts, but heating costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, only about 18% of homes have label A or better, so C is fairly typical for a pre-war property.
The Oude Binnenstad is very walkable, with restaurants 200 metres away, a supermarket within 600 metres, and a park 900 metres away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk. The area is densely built and historic, with a mix of ages and many single-person households. It's a lively, compact centre.
The plot is 48 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. The home is a townhouse on the boulevard, so outdoor space is likely limited to a small courtyard or none at all.
In the Oude Binnenstad, sold homes took an average of 53 days to sell. That's a fairly typical period, suggesting a balanced market without extreme pressure. However, this home is priced well above average, so it may take longer to find a buyer.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. A car or bicycle is more practical for commuting.
