Raam en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Zwaansgat puts you right in the middle of Gouda's historic centre. At 48 m² it's compact, but the energy label C keeps running costs manageable. The asking price of €265,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €564,538, partly because the floor area is 71% smaller than the typical home in the area. For context, apartments in Gouda vary widely in size and price.
Raam e.o. is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages and households.

For school runs, the St. Aloysius primary school is on your doorstep, and the Casimirschool is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and restaurants are practically next door. The municipality of Gouda keeps the centre well maintained. See what the municipality of Gouda offers.

The 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.

About Zwaansgat 26, Gouda
The asking price of €265,000 is 53% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€564,538), but the apartment is also much smaller than average (48 m² vs 168 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,521, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,168 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1983). It means the property has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while 25% have a lower label (D or worse).
Gouda train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague directly.
Based on one review, the neighbourhood is described as having a top location but with some downsides: the houses are considered ugly, it's expensive, and there's little greenery. The resident notes that all amenities are nearby, but King's Day is very busy and the streets can have litter. Only a few people attend neighbourhood gatherings.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is an apartment in the city centre, outdoor space is unlikely but not confirmed.
With 48 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
