The population is older, with 41% aged 65 or over, and many one-person households (685 out of 1,140).

The neighbourhood Damplein is known for its historic buildings and compact streets.
For daily groceries, you have a SPAR just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, ABS Middelburg, is a five-minute walk, and the Calvijn College secondary school is also within walking distance. A park or public garden is just a couple of streets away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Middelburg offers a compact city centre with most amenities close by.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Schulting & Partners. The energy label is E, which means higher heating costs to expect, and the 1780 construction means the property has character but may need upkeep.

About Singelstraat 45, Middelburg
The asking price is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €466,868, but the home is also 36% larger than the typical 124 m² in Damplein. At €3,402 per m², it's below the neighbourhood average of €4,589 per m², so the price reflects the extra space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the historic character and central location.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood (40% of homes have label D or lower). This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills. The 1780 construction and lack of modern insulation contribute to this. It's worth factoring in potential improvement costs.
Damplein is very central, with a SPAR and Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and there are several schools nearby. The area is densely built and historic, with many older residents and one-person households. It's quiet but urban, with a park just 400 m away.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of older residents (41% aged 65+) and many single-person households. Families with children are rare. The historic centre attracts people who value character and proximity to amenities over modern convenience. The home's size and price may appeal to couples or downsizers.
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 59 days to sell, which is a moderate pace. With 34 homes currently available and 90 sold recently, the market is active but not frenetic. This home's higher price may mean it stays on the market a bit longer.
The plot is 119 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. The plot size is typical for a historic townhouse in the centre, often with a small courtyard rather than a full garden.
