Find Rental Homes in Terneuzen
Terneuzen is a port city in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the strip of Zeeland south of the Western Scheldt estuary. Accessible from the rest of the Netherlands via the Westerscheldetunnel (or by ferry), Terneuzen has a significant chemical industry cluster anchored by Dow Chemical's major production facility. The city's location means many residents also cross into Belgium (Ghent is 30 min away). Rents are among the lowest in the Netherlands, reflecting the relative remoteness from the Dutch economic core.
