Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Mr. J.E. Risseeuwstraat sits in a part of Oostburg where life moves at a gentler pace. With 110 m² of living space and a 187 m² plot, it offers more room than many homes of its type. The price of €289,000 is keen compared to the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which sits around €341,000, a difference of about 15%. For context, terraced houses in Sluis typically command a premium, so this one stands out.
Oostburg is a village with around 4,300 residents, where older residents outnumber families, a third are 65 or over. The neighbourhood has seen better days, according to some. One resident describes it as "impoverished," adding: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Neat streets everywhere tidy. It's starting to look like a rough area now. Sloppy dirty." Another says: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap. Most people want to leave here." These are the views of a few, based on nine reviews, but they paint a picture of decline. The neighbourhood Oostburg has a mix of housing, with 81% single-family homes and 62% owner-occupied.
For daily shopping, you have a Jumbo and a Lidl just around the corner, both within a couple of streets away. An Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk further. There are two primary schools nearby: Basisschool Sint Bavo is on your doorstep, and Basisschool de Berenburcht is just around the corner. For secondary education, the Zwin College is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality Sluis covers a wider area, but here in Oostburg, most amenities are within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Versluijs Makelaardij, Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland. With five sources, you have plenty of ways to get in touch.

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 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!
