Buying a home in Buitengebied Heikant, Heikant.
You're looking at countryside homes on the fringes of Heikant, close enough to Hulst's services but genuinely rural. Most houses here are detached or semi-detached with decent garden space, the kind of place where you can actually hear the wind move through fields. Your neighbours tend to be families who've chosen quiet over convenience, and the commute to Antwerp or Gent is manageable if you need it. The trade-off is straightforward: you've got nature and space, but the village itself offers basic amenities rather than nightlife.
