Turfmarkt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis 1907 apartment on Lange Groenendaal sits right in the historic centre, with the market square and canals just steps away. At 142 m², it's a third larger than the average home in the neighbourhood, a real bonus for those who want generous rooms and high ceilings. The asking price of €450,000 is on the high side compared to the local median of €400,000, but the extra space and central location justify it. For context, apartments in Gouda vary widely in size and price.
The neighbourhood Turfmarkt e.o. is the beating heart of Gouda, with a dense urban feel (over 3,900 addresses per km²). One resident describes it as "Beautiful and central, but busy and riskier for women to live." They appreciate the convenience: "supermarkets within walking distance, the station a 5-minute bike ride away, and there's plenty of greenery." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many singles and couples, and two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied. Based on one review, it's a lively area where you trade some peace for being in the middle of everything.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Coop and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, St. Aloysius and Casimirschool, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. The municipality Gouda has a compact centre, so most daily needs are within walking distance, and the train station is a ten-minute walk for trips further afield.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Boer Makelaardij Midden-Holland and is also available through other channels.

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.
