Hoef- en Veldbuurt, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Maerlantburg is part of a recently completed development, finished in 2025. It offers 94 m² of living space with an A+++ energy label, meaning it's exceptionally efficient and future-proof. The asking price of €502,550 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €435,000, but that reflects the new-build status and top-tier energy performance. For context, there is currently only one other apartment for sale in the area, so supply is limited. You can compare this with other apartments in Gouda.
The Hoef- en Veldbuurt is a residential neighbourhood with a mix of older and newer housing. Around a third of homes were built after 2010, and another third between 1970 and 1990. It's a relatively quiet area, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of older residents, nearly half are 65 or over, and many single-person households. There are no reviews from residents available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based purely on the statistics. For more context, see the Hoef- en Veldbuurt neighbourhood.
For your daily shopping, you have three supermarkets just around the corner: Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Lidl are all within a few minutes' walk. A couple of primary schools are also within easy walking distance, Basisschool De Cirkel and PCBS Livingstone are both about a five-minute walk away. For secondary education, there are options within a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a GP surgery on your doorstep, and a library is just a short stroll away. The train station is a bit further, about 2.4 km, so you'd likely cycle or take a bus. This area falls under the municipality of Gouda.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Boer Makelaardij Midden-Holland and Boer Makelaardij Midden-Holland B.V. on Funda.

About Maerlantburg 56, Gouda
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €435,000, but this is a brand-new apartment (2025) with an A+++ energy label, which commands a premium. The average price per m² in the area is €5,506, and this home works out at about €5,346 per m², so it's actually slightly below that benchmark. Given the limited supply, only one other apartment currently for sale, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a new-build in this location.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. It's a new-build (2025), so it meets the latest insulation and ventilation standards. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this apartment is at the top end of efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle.
There are three supermarkets within a few minutes' walk: Albert Heijn (202 m), Jumbo (222 m) and Lidl (243 m). For a wider selection, PLUS supermarkets are about 800-900 m away. So daily groceries are very convenient.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool De Cirkel (494 m), PCBS Livingstone (495 m) and Plaswijckschool (527 m). For secondary education, there are options about 800 m away. There are also special education schools nearby, such as De Startbaan (373 m).
