A 1930s apartment on the Blekerssingel
This apartment on the Blekerssingel sits in the Kadenbuurt, a part of Gouda where the streets have a settled, lived-in feel. Built in 1932, it has the kind of character you do not find in newer developments, with 85 m² of living space. The rent of €1,950 a month is below the average for the handful of rentals in the neighbourhood, which sits at €2,295. That makes it keenly priced for what is on offer, especially when you look at apartments in Gouda.
The Kadenbuurt
The Kadenbuurt is a compact neighbourhood with a mix of ages and household types. Just under half of the homes are single-person households, while a quarter are families with children, so the streets see a steady rhythm of commuters and school runs. The housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, which tends to keep the area stable. With the train station a short walk away, it is a practical base for anyone working in the region. The neighbourhood has a quiet, residential character, though it is not far from the bustle of Gouda's centre. For a closer look at the area, see the Kadenbuurt neighbourhood.
Life on the street
A typical day here starts with a short stroll to the Coop or SPAR for bread, both just around the corner. The Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and the PLUS is a ten-minute walk if you want a bigger shop. For school runs, the Casimirschool is a five-minute walk, and there are several secondary schools within a similar distance, including De GSG Leo Vroman. The train station is also within a ten-minute walk, which makes the commute straightforward. The municipality of Gouda keeps the public spaces tidy, and the area feels well cared for.
