Nieuwe Markt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoogstraat 18B puts you right in the middle of Gouda's historic centre. With 45 m² of living space, it's a compact home that feels cosy rather than cramped. The building dates from 1923 and has energy label D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €225,000, the asking price is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €494,763, a keen price for a starter home, especially compared to other apartments in Gouda.
The neighbourhood Nieuwe Markt e.o. is a dense urban area with over 4,000 addresses per km². Most homes are rented (75%), and the population skews young: a third are between 25 and 45. One resident describes it as "fun" during the day but admits the evening streets can feel a bit sketchy, with "some odd characters" and occasional deals going on. Green space is scarce, they note, and wish for more plants or trees. Based on one review, it's a neighbourhood where you enjoy the city buzz but stay alert after dark.
For groceries, you're just a couple of streets away from an Albert Heijn and a Coop. Bread and basics are literally on your doorstep. The nearest primary school, Casimirschool, is a five-minute walk away, and the Catholic St. Aloysius school is a bit further. The municipality Gouda offers all the amenities of a historic city centre, with restaurants and cafés just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via De Pater Makelaardij Boskoop NVM.

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?

About Hoogstraat 18B, Gouda
The asking price is 55% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€494,763), but the apartment is also 60% smaller than the average home there. Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is keen for a starter home in the city centre.
Nieuwe Markt e.o. is a very urban area with a young population. One resident says it's fun during the day but can feel unsafe at night, with some odd characters around. Green space is limited. It's a lively, dense part of Gouda's centre.
Gouda railway station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That makes commuting to Utrecht, Rotterdam or The Hague straightforward.
Albert Heijn is just 78 metres away, and Coop is 180 metres. For daily groceries you're well covered. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafés within a short walk.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 26.3% of homes have label D or worse, so it's not unusual for the area.
At 45 m² and €225,000, it's a compact and affordable entry into Gouda's centre. The price is well below the neighbourhood average, but the size and energy label mean it's a trade-off between location and space.
