Eck en Wiel, Buren
NeighbourhoodThis 1967 end-of-terrace house on Henry Dunantstraat sits in a small village where life moves at a slower pace. With 87 m² of living space and a 123 m² plot, it's a practical home for someone who values peace and a bit of outdoor space. The energy label C means reasonable efficiency, though not the most modern. At €350,000, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a terraced houses in Buren of this size and age.
Eck en Wiel is a tiny village with just over 900 residents, and it feels like it. One resident sums it up bluntly: "You get harassed a lot. There are many people with mental disorders living here." They add that owner-occupied homes are okay, but rental properties can be tough. "Young children cannot play outside alone. Everything is swept under the rug or dismissed." The review is based on a single opinion, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Eck en Wiel is very rural (the lowest urbanity score), with mostly families and older residents. Almost all homes are single-family, and 72% are owner-occupied.
For daily groceries, Boon's Markt is just around the corner, a couple of streets away. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is a ten-minute drive. The local primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Bloesem, is a five-minute walk, so little ones can walk there easily. Secondary schools are further afield, about 10 km away. The nearest train station is 10.7 km, so a car is essential. The municipality Buren covers a wide rural area, so amenities are spread out.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via Hoomz - "Smart Move.".

You have to be strong to live in Eck en Wiel in a rental home. The owner-occupied homes are okay. My experience is that it's better there. Of course, there's a village idiot like in every neighbourhood. In this case, there are several who keep their curtains closed and no longer open the door just like that. Young children cannot play outside alone. Everything is swept under the rug or dismissed. There are also fortunately many nice people. However, that doesn't change the fact that I have never experienced anything like this before. Terrible, just move somewhere else if you still have the choice. I enjoy walking the dog in the city more. There are no areas where the dog can run off-leash. There is a small playground for very young children. Furthermore, Eck en Wiel is not child-friendly. They can play on the pavement. The cars drive too fast. Nothing is done about it. There is also constant noise from music or dogs. Even at night.

About Henry Dunantstraat 9, Eck En Wiel
For an end-of-terrace house of 87 m² with a 123 m² plot, built in 1967 and energy label C, €350,000 is in line with the market. Comparable homes in the area tend to sell for similar amounts, so it's neither a bargain nor overpriced.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house from 1967. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation could lower them further.
Boon's Markt is just 167 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. For a wider selection, Jumbo is about 2.6 km, a five-minute drive.
The closest primary school is Openbare Basisschool De Bloesem, 378 metres away, a short walk. Other primaries are within 2-3 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.7 km away, so a daily commute is needed.
The CBS data shows 14 total crimes in the area, which is low for a village of this size. However, one resident review mentions feeling unsafe due to harassment and noise. It's a mixed picture, so visiting at different times is a good idea.
The nearest train station is 10.7 km away, so you'll need a car or bus to reach it. The village is not well connected by public transport.
You would need to view the property to see the outdoor space.
