About Frederik Hendriklaan 42, Gouda
The asking price of €325,000 is 38% below the average asking price in Ouwe Gouwe (€520,326) and also below the median of €450,000. However, the floor area of 78 m² is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 107 m². Given the energy label E and the smaller size, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a property of this type in this area.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In Ouwe Gouwe, most homes for sale have a better energy label: only 29% have label D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient end of the spectrum.
The train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting or day trips.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Coop at 398 m, SPAR express at 491 m, and PLUS at 628 m. A GP is 400 m away, and restaurants are 400 m away. Daily amenities are well covered.
Primary schools include Wilhelminaschool (68 m), RK Basisschool De Bijenkorf (216 m), and Graaf Jan van Nassauschool (392 m). For secondary education, Coornhert Gymnasium is 196 m away. All are within easy walking distance.
The neighbourhood recorded 189 total crimes in the latest data. One resident mentions that safety could be better and that there are sometimes unwanted guests in the apartment complex. Overall, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2 out of 10 from resident reviews.
Ouwe Gouwe has a mix of ages, with a significant share of 25-45 year olds (1,660) and 65+ (1,085). About 54% of homes are owner-occupied, and 43% are single-family homes. The average household size is 2.0, with many one-person households.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Many 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.

Auto-translated to English by AIPleasantly, many people greet each other, know each other. And are willing to help each other. Only the rubbish is a problem; people just put it next to the containers. I'm afraid they don't want to pay for it. And green spaces: they mow far too little, once a year the ditch bank looks terrible. I'm not the only one who thinks that; many people complain about it. I think it's a shame that people rarely report it. Furthermore, we miss a community centre in the neighbourhood; many elderly and lonely people live here. We would appreciate that.
Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant neighbourhood, but it's a shame that the younger people have little time and that there is no meeting centre here. In Gouda Noord, quite a lot of elderly people live, and they are also lonely. In the past, the Noord building was a community centre, but now it belongs to the Salvation Army. So we consider that a point of attention. And also another point: a lot of rubbish near the bins; people don't throw it in, they prefer to put it next to it so they don't have to pay. That doesn't make the neighbourhood any better.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery cosy neighbourhood, but a shame that there is little for children and that young people don't feel like having a neighbourhood drink or a party, no time, the people are too old. We have a beautiful courtyard, but it is used too little. And I am a party-starter myself, but even then it's difficult, so I say let's try to make connections here step by step. Not wanting too much at once.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in many places in my life, but this is by far the nicest. Just outside the city centre, but within a 5-minute walk of a shop or terrace. It has everything of a city, yet the peace and cosiness of a village.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is close to the centre and station, ideal. Amenities such as supermarkets, shops and schools are plentiful. However, more green space would do the area good and less traffic.

How residents experience their district
It'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.

Little greenery, often a lot of rubbish. But there are good small businesses and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
