Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Paulus Potterstraat sits in a calm part of Oostburg, a town in the municipality of Sluis. With 96 m² of living space and a 146 m² plot, it's a compact home built in 1958. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €179,000, the asking price is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €340,959, which makes it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Sluis.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation according to residents. One resident describes it as "a dead-end street with far too many cars" and mentions issues with neighbours and vermin. Another says it's "impoverished" and "starting to look like a rough area now." A third notes it went "from beautiful to ugly," with some places looking "like a scrap heap." These are based on nine reviews. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban density (800 addresses per km²) and a mix of households, with many older residents and a fair share of families.
For daily shopping, you have Jumbo and Lidl both just around the corner, and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool Sint Bavo and Basisschool de Berenburcht. Secondary education is at Zwin College, about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a GP is a short walk away. The municipality Sluis covers a rural area, so a car is handy for getting around.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ready Vastgoed, 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 Paulus Potterstraat 19, Oostburg
The asking price is €179,000, which is 48% below the average asking price in Oostburg (€340,959). However, the house is also smaller than average (96 m² vs 139 m²) and has an energy label D. Given the lower price and smaller size, it's priced keenly compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. 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.
Residents have mixed feelings. Some mention it has become less tidy and attractive over time, with issues like parking and vermin. Others note that people keep to themselves. The area has a moderate density and a mix of ages, with many older residents.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool Sint Bavo and Basisschool de Berenburcht. For secondary education, Zwin College (offering VMBO, HAVO, Atheneum, and Gymnasium) is about a ten-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this home is not suitable for commuting by train. A car is essential for longer journeys.
Jumbo and Lidl are both about 630 metres away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 812 metres away, and Aldi is 868 metres. So daily groceries are easily done on foot.
