Residents of the Binnenstad district, which includes Hooch Boulandt, give their living environment an average score of 7.54 out of 10, based on nine reviews. One resident describes the Nieuwegracht as a quiet and clean side of the centre, with a park across the water, though they note some litter on the footpaths.

The asking price of €1,190,000 was 114% above the average asking price in Hooch Boulandt, which was €555,577. This made it the most expensive of the 26 homes at the time for sale in the neighbourhood. The home is larger than average, with a living area of 148 m² compared to the neighbourhood average of 72 m², and it is situated on the water in the city centre, which may explain the premium.
