What is the cheapest neighbourhood in Terneuzen?

By average WOZ value it is Kern Sas van Gent, at €193,000. Note that WOZ is a tax valuation dated 1 January of the previous year, so asking prices sit above it in a rising market.

Which neighbourhood in Terneuzen is the safest?

On the Leefbaarometer safety sub-score, Buitengebied Philippine ranks highest at 3.7/5. That score is based on recorded reports, so neighbourhoods where people report more incidents can score lower than they feel.

Where do these figures come from?

From public sources: the Leefbaarometer (Dutch Ministry of the Interior), WOZ values and housing stock via CBS, noise and air quality via RIVM, and distances to amenities via CBS proximity statistics. Every neighbourhood page lists its sources and the year of the data.

Does this replace checking a specific property?

No. These figures describe a neighbourhood, not an address. Two homes on the same street can differ sharply on foundation type, energy label, ground lease and flood risk. Use these lists to narrow your search area, then check the specific address.

The best neighbourhoods in Terneuzen

There is no single "best neighbourhood" in Terneuzen. What counts as best depends on whether you want a garden or a tram stop, a primary school around the corner or a quiet night. So what follows is not one list but several — each on a single measurable criterion, with the figure that earned each place shown next to it. 30 neighbourhoods in Terneuzen are covered by this data.

The spread within a single city is usually wider than buyers expect. The most affordable neighbourhood in this list, Kern Sas van Gent, has an average WOZ value of €193,000. That is the figure that sets your search area — the question is rarely whether Terneuzen is affordable, but which part of it is affordable to you.

Noise is the figure most often skipped and most often regretted. A ten-decibel difference sounds small but is perceived as roughly halving the loudness — worth checking before a viewing rather than after.

Most affordable

The lowest average WOZ value — the most useful public figure for seeing where your budget stretches furthest.

WOZ is a tax valuation dated 1 January of the previous year; in a rising market, asking prices sit above it.

Best amenities

The Leefbaarometer amenities sub-score: shops, cafés, healthcare and schooling within reach.

Measures how much is nearby, not how good or how expensive it is.

Highest safety score

The Leefbaarometer safety sub-score, based on recorded nuisance and crime in the neighbourhood.

Based on recorded reports. Neighbourhoods where people report more incidents can therefore score lower than they feel.

Quietest neighbourhoods

Average noise exposure from the RIVM noise map, in decibels — road, rail and air traffic combined.

A modelled map based on traffic flows. Nightlife, construction and neighbours are not in it.

Closest to a train station

Straight-line distance to the nearest train station — often the deciding factor if you plan to live without a car.

Measured straight-line from the neighbourhood centroid, not walking route. Tram and metro are not counted.

Closest to a primary school

Distance to the nearest primary school — usually where families with young children start.

Distance says nothing about places being available or about teaching quality. International schools are counted separately.

Choosing an area is step one. The address is step two.

These figures describe the neighbourhood. Foundation type, energy label, ground lease and flood risk vary by building — sometimes between two houses on the same street.
