Buying a home in Walhoek, Sint Jansteen.
You're looking at Sint Jansteen's edge, where water and countryside meet in a way that feels genuinely removed. Walhoek sits close to the Belgian border, giving you a quieter stretch of the Hulst municipality where homes tend to be more spread out—think detached houses and gardens with real breathing room. The polder landscape itself is the charm here: long views, quiet roads, cyclists passing by. You'll need your own transport or don't mind the 15-minute drive to town centre for shops, but if you want to escape the usual suburban churn, this neighbourhood delivers.
