Buying a home in Sluis, Ameide.
Sluis in Ameide sits on the water's edge with a working-class feel that hasn't been polished away. You'll find small, solid homes from the post-war era and older farmhouses being converted thoughtfully, with boats often outnumbering cars in the neighbourhood. The village lives by the river: fishing traditions run deep, and weekends bring activity on the Lek. It's quiet enough to actually hear the water, but close enough to Leerdam and larger towns that you're not stranded.
