All necessary amenities within walking distance of both bustle and tranquillity. (Shops, museums and nature). Plenty of choice in eateries and sufficient activities or events. There are enough patrols by police and community wardens, quite a few primary schools in the city centre and sufficient choice of secondary education in the suburbs. A beautiful location with city walls, monuments and parks in the suburbs. For the rest, plenty of shops and a weekly market in the centre and shopping centres in the suburbs. Easily accessible due to the central location in the country thanks to the motorway junction. In addition, a train and bus station and also accessible by water via the ferry services.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is good, I've only been living here for 3 weeks but I'm extremely pleased.
Auto-translated to English by AIvery nice cosy neighbourhood that really gets into the holidays. everything is within walking distance. you can't do anything about the people but we've been lucky with that. the only dangerous thing is a bend in the street that lorries can't take properly, so cars often get smashed up. more colour and plants would be nice. especially plants make it so much nicer and cosier.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll necessary shops, restaurants, terraces nearby. Also beautiful city walls, buildings and plenty of space to relax, especially by the river with beaches. Lots of activities, culture, culinary and festivals. Train, buses, ferries within walking distance. Most amenities are present, vacant shops are limited and many independent shops instead of large corporations.

About Gasthuisstraat 54, Gorinchem
The asking price of €359,000 is 26% below the average asking price in Benedenstad (€483,217) and also below the median of €399,750. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (76 m² vs 116 m²). Given the price per m² of €4,724, it's in line with the neighbourhood average of €4,747 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Benedenstad, 25% of homes have label C, while 25% have a lower label (D or worse). Label C means heating costs are moderate, but not as low as with A or B labels.
Excellent. SPAR and Coop are both within a couple of streets away (142 m and 155 m), so you can walk there in under two minutes. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn is about a ten-minute walk. There's also a weekly market in the centre.
Primary school obs De Tweemaster is just 94 m away, on your doorstep. CBS De Tamboerijn is 313 m away, a couple of streets. For secondary education, Uilenhof is 741 m (about a ten-minute walk) and ISK de Toekomst is 675 m away.
Gorinchem train station is 1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. The station connects to the rest of the country.
Residents generally feel safe. One review mentions 'enough patrols by police and community wardens'. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 262, but without context it's hard to compare. Another resident notes a dangerous bend where lorries cause accidents, but that's a specific street issue.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: 34% are single-person, 16% are couples without children, and only 10% are households with children. So it's more oriented towards singles and couples, but there are primary schools nearby and parks within walking distance.
