Nieuwe Markt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Stoofsteeg sits in the heart of Gouda, with the lively market square just a few steps away. Built in 1847, it has an energy label F, which means heating costs will be something to keep an eye on. At 80 m², it's 29% smaller than the neighbourhood average, and the asking price of €425,000 is in line with the median for apartments in Gouda.
The Nieuwe Markt e.o. neighbourhood is the historic city centre, with a very high address density of 4,101 addresses per km². It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One resident says: "Living in the city is fun, but I don't need to walk the streets alone at night." They also note that green space is scarce. The neighbourhood has a mix of old and new homes, with 55% built before 1945.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Coop is just around the corner. The Casimirschool is a couple of streets away, and the St. Aloysius primary school is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Gouda has plenty of restaurants and cafés within easy reach.

The asking price of €425,000 matches the median price in the neighbourhood, where the average price per m² is €4,889. Given that this apartment is 80 m² (29% smaller than the neighbourhood average), the price per m² works out at about €5,313, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average. So it's on the high side for its size, but in line with the local market.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, only 26.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The majority of homes in the area have labels A or B.
The neighbourhood has a total of 376 reported crimes, but the resident review notes: "During the day it's nice in the city... 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!" So it's lively but with some caution advised after dark.
The area has 1,490 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (625 out of 950 households). The average household size is 1.5. Most residents are between 25 and 45 years old, and there are relatively few children. It's a young, urban crowd.
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
Yes, Albert Heijn is just 134 metres away, Coop at 283 metres, and SPAR at 584 metres. So daily groceries are within easy walking distance.
There are several primary schools nearby: Casimirschool at 163 metres, St. Aloysius at 310 metres, and Prinses Julianaschool at 625 metres. For secondary education, the nearest is about 1.5 km away.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.6 km away. The resident review mentions that "green in the city is almost nowhere to be seen, maybe more maintenance for plants or trees?" So it's not a green neighbourhood.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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?

How residents experience their district
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe houses are really ugly, everything is expensive. No students. All possible amenities in the neighbourhood. King's Day is always way too busy. Very little greenery, and there are often bits of plastic and stuff lying in the street. There might be a neighbourhood get-together but only 8 people go.

Auto-translated to English by AINieuwe Park Oost is a cosy neighbourhood, and you definitely notice that at the annual neighbourhood barbecue. But sometimes there is noise nuisance in the evenings or when there is an event in the city centre. In the summer this is worse due to several groups of loitering youths playing music and shouting in various places in the park.

How residents experience their municipality
Little greenery, often a lot of rubbish. But there are good small businesses and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy and nice neighbourhood where I feel very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is safe, social and is growing towards a better environment and in terms of facilities.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of Poles
Auto-translated to English by AIIt'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.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany 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.
