Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis 1955 terraced house on Nieuwstraat in Oostburg offers 199 m² of living space, 43% more than the neighbourhood average. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to budget for. With a price of €423,000, it sits 24% above the average asking price in the area, which reflects the extra square metres. For comparison, other terraced houses in Sluis vary widely in size and price.
Oostburg has over 4,300 residents, with a high proportion of older people (31% aged 65+) and many single-person households. The area scores a 6.57 out of 10 from nine reviews, and opinions are divided. One resident describes it as "a dead-end street with far too many cars" and complains about neighbours and housing issues. Another says it's "impoverished" and "starting to look like a rough area." A third adds: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap." These are strong views, but they come from a small sample. The municipality Sluis covers a wider area with more variation.
For groceries, you have Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl and Aldi all within a five-minute walk, that's four supermarkets just around the corner. The Zwin College secondary school is practically on your doorstep, and two primary schools (Berenburcht and Sint Bavo) are a couple of streets away. A park or public garden is a two-minute stroll, and a GP is 1.2 km away. The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so a car is essential for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Versluijs Makelaardij, Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

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 Nieuwstraat 67, Oostburg
The asking price is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €340,959, but the house is also 43% larger than the average (199 m² vs 139 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €2,126, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,664 per m². So you're getting more space for a lower per-m² rate, though the total outlay is higher.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 19.2% of homes have label A, 11.5% label B, 38.5% label C, and 30.8% label D or lower. So this house is in the lower half for efficiency.
Oostburg has 535 households with children (about 24% of all households) and several schools within walking distance. The Zwin College secondary school is 63 metres away, and two primary schools are within 500 metres. However, some resident reviews mention a decline in the area's appearance and social issues, so it's worth visiting to see if it suits your family.
There are four supermarkets within 400 metres: Albert Heijn (300 m), Jumbo (306 m), Lidl (306 m) and Aldi (351 m). That's very convenient for daily shopping, you can easily walk to any of them.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so public transport by rail is not practical for daily commuting. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
In the most recent data, there were 141 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That works out at about 33 per 1,000 residents, which is moderate. The resident reviews mention some concerns about litter and untidiness, but no specific safety issues.
