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 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 Quarles Van Uffordweg 79, Oostburg
The asking price of €259,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €340,959, and also below the median of €299,000. However, the house is smaller than average (85 m² vs 139 m²). Given the lower price per m² (€3,047 vs the neighbourhood average of €2,664), it appears priced for its size.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation. Some residents feel it has declined, with one saying it "looks like a scrap heap" and another mentioning issues with neighbours and parking. The average review score is 6.57 out of 9 reviews. The area is not very urban (low density) and has an older population, with many residents aged 65 and over.
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. Car or bus would be necessary for longer journeys.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool Sint Bavo (525 m) and Basisschool de Berenburcht (636 m). For secondary education, Zwin College (offering VMBO, HAVO, Atheneum, and Gymnasium) is about 831 m away, a ten-minute walk.
Jumbo and Lidl are both about 634 m away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is a bit further at 728 m, and Aldi is 778 m. So daily groceries are easily reachable on foot.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. Heating costs will be moderate but not excessive.
With 85 m² of living space, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
