Nieuwe Markt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Cappenersteeg 26A sits in the heart of Gouda, where the streets are lively and the buildings steeped in history. With 52 m² of living space, it's a compact home that makes the most of its central location. The asking price of €330,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €474,526, partly because the floor area is smaller than typical homes here. For context, apartments in Gouda vary widely in size and price.
Nieuwe Markt e.o. is a dense urban area with a mix of historic buildings and modern flats. It's home to around 1,490 residents, many living alone, and the streets are busy day and night. One resident says: "Living in the city is fun, but I don't need to walk the streets alone at night." They note that neighbours keep to themselves and that green space is scarce. The area has a high crime rate, but the resident feels safe indoors. This is the Nieuwe Markt e.o. neighbourhood in a nutshell: vibrant but not without its challenges.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Coop is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Casimirschool and St. Aloysius. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town. Restaurants are on your doorstep, and a park is a five-minute walk away.

The asking price of €330,000 is 30% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€474,526). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (52 m² vs 112 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €6,346, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,602 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, about 21% of homes have a label D or lower, while the majority (over 68%) have labels A to C. A D label means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a well-insulated home, but not extreme.
The neighbourhood has a relatively high number of reported crimes (376 total), and one resident mentions feeling unsafe walking alone at night due to "odd characters" and "deals." However, the same resident says they live safely and don't get involved. It's a busy city centre area, so vigilance is part of the deal.
Nieuwe Markt e.o. has 1,490 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (625 out of 855 households). The largest age group is 25-45 (605 people), followed by 45-65 (340) and over-65 (220). Only 135 households have children, so it's not a family-dominated area.
Gouda train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
Albert Heijn is 210 metres away (just around the corner), Coop is 239 metres away, and SPAR is 573 metres away. For daily groceries, you're well covered within a short walk.
Yes, several primary schools are close: Casimirschool at 170 metres, St. Aloysius at 378 metres, and Prinses Julianaschool at 548 metres. Secondary schools are a bit further, at 1.5 km on average.
The apartment was built in 1830, which is typical for this neighbourhood, nearly 58% of homes date from before 1945. An older building may have quirks like higher ceilings or less insulation, but the energy label D suggests some modernisation has been done.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
So far, the people who live here are quite to themselves; I don't hear much from the neighbours or hardly see them. During the day it's nice in the city, and despite the noise sometimes, I find sleeping easy too. In the evening, I find the neighbourhood a bit scary to walk through, sometimes some odd characters and there are some deals I've seen, but I don't get involved, I just live safely so far! Green in the city is almost nowhere to be seen, maybe more maintenance for plants or trees?

How residents experience their district
My living place is ideal, I enjoy it and we live centrally. It's a cosy neighbourhood with supermarkets within walking distance, the station a 5-minute bike ride away, and there's plenty of greenery. (Even in the city centre) However, my downstairs neighbour is fierce and unfriendly, people don't quickly help each other, and it's scary to walk the streets at night as a woman.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe houses are really ugly, everything is expensive. No students. All possible amenities in the neighbourhood. King's Day is always way too busy. Very little greenery, and there are often bits of plastic and stuff lying in the street. There might be a neighbourhood get-together but only 8 people go.

Auto-translated to English by AINieuwe Park Oost is a cosy neighbourhood, and you definitely notice that at the annual neighbourhood barbecue. But sometimes there is noise nuisance in the evenings or when there is an event in the city centre. In the summer this is worse due to several groups of loitering youths playing music and shouting in various places in the park.

How residents experience their municipality
Little greenery, often a lot of rubbish. But there are good small businesses and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy and nice neighbourhood where I feel very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is safe, social and is growing towards a better environment and in terms of facilities.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of Poles
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a great neighbourhood, with many growing children and families, unfortunately the education in Goverwelle is not so good and the good primary schools are far away.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany trees cut down Kazerne Why ???? make the rest a bit cosy yourself RINUS
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that the people in the Jozefhof hardly connect with each other; the owner-occupied apartments do, but the rental apartments have little interaction with each other. That might also be because the young people all work. But even when a neighbourhood party is organised, I don't see them either; making connections is not a thing, not even with the joy and sorrow fund. And what I also miss in this neighbourhood is a community centre; quite a lot of elderly people live here, which is a pity. And there are also people in this neighbourhood who are alone and lonely. Accessibility is good, safety could always be better. In the apartment complex, we sometimes have unwanted guests. Facilities are good; shops around the corner, GP and station are around the corner. Daily amenities are available.
