There is a lot of crime, and there are many burglaries and shootings, you have to be able to handle it, it's a multicultural neighbourhood and many children, but mostly dark-skinned children, but I don't mind that, mostly families from Morocco, Syria and Somalia live there, we ourselves live between a family from Somalia and a family from Syria, a lot of noise with the children but nice people. It consists of owner-occupied and rental houses. People live in flats who put household waste next to the underground containers with food scraps and throw food without packaging on the grass and so on, There is a reasonable shopping centre with a baker, a Jumbo, an Aldi, Primera, 2 foreign hairdressers, 1 Dutch hairdresser, 2 Moroccan supermarkets, 1 has a complete butcher's shop, this is a great supermarket, comes here daily. A youth centre, a meeting place for adults, a Domino's, a Zeeman, a bicycle shop, a flower shop, a Bistro which is more often closed than open, and a sandwich shop, a Syrian eatery, a snack bar/fishmonger, that was about it. Safety is insufficient because there are often shootings and burglaries
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways a lot of misery including shootings, stabbing incidents, just not a nice place to live. And there is also a lot of neighbour noise and the neighbourhood looks like a slum because rubbish is thrown around the underground bins, such as household waste and bulky waste like furniture, while they want to improve the neighbourhood but do nothing about it.

About Rustenburgstraat 34, Middelburg
The asking price of €290,000 is in line with the market for a terraced house of this size and age in Dauwendaele I. The energy label C and the 112 m² floor area are typical for a 1969 home. Without comparable sales data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for the area.
