Ouwe Gouwe, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A detached house from 1918, set on a 631 m² plot, it stands out in Ouwe Gouwe. With 183 m² of living space, it is 89% larger than the neighbourhood average, and the asking price of €1,195,000 is 179% above the local average of €427,926, so this is very much at the top end of the market. For context, that is well above the typical price range for detached houses in Gouda.
Ouwe Gouwe is a mixed, urban neighbourhood with around 5,300 residents. It is densely built (address density 3,395 per km²) and has a strong urban feel. The housing stock is a mix: 43% are single-family homes, and 54% are owner-occupied. Many homes date from before 1945 (42%) or between 1945 and 1970 (49%). Residents give the area a 7.2 out of 10 based on nine reviews. One resident says: "Make something of it yourself, that's how it is", adding that there are no problems if everyone puts in a bit of effort. Another notes that facilities are good, with shops, a GP and the station around the corner, but misses a community centre and more connection among neighbours. This is the Ouwe Gouwe neighbourhood in a nutshell: practical, convenient, but not overly cosy.
Daily life here is easy. For groceries, the SPAR express is on your doorstep, and a Coop is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a short walk: the Wilhelminaschool and Graaf Jan van Nassauschool are both a couple of streets away. For secondary education, Coornhert Gymnasium is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a GP is just around the corner. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Gouda, which manages local amenities and public spaces.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Dupree Makelaars Gouda. The asking price is €1,195,000.

Many 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.

Auto-translated to English by AIPleasantly, many people greet each other, know each other. And are willing to help each other. Only the rubbish is a problem; people just put it next to the containers. I'm afraid they don't want to pay for it. And green spaces: they mow far too little, once a year the ditch bank looks terrible. I'm not the only one who thinks that; many people complain about it. I think it's a shame that people rarely report it. Furthermore, we miss a community centre in the neighbourhood; many elderly and lonely people live here. We would appreciate that.
Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant neighbourhood, but it's a shame that the younger people have little time and that there is no meeting centre here. In Gouda Noord, quite a lot of elderly people live, and they are also lonely. In the past, the Noord building was a community centre, but now it belongs to the Salvation Army. So we consider that a point of attention. And also another point: a lot of rubbish near the bins; people don't throw it in, they prefer to put it next to it so they don't have to pay. That doesn't make the neighbourhood any better.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery cosy neighbourhood, but a shame that there is little for children and that young people don't feel like having a neighbourhood drink or a party, no time, the people are too old. We have a beautiful courtyard, but it is used too little. And I am a party-starter myself, but even then it's difficult, so I say let's try to make connections here step by step. Not wanting too much at once.

About Graaf Florisweg 111, Gouda
The asking price of €1,195,000 is 179% above the neighbourhood average of €427,926. However, this home is also 89% larger than the average (183 m² vs 97 m²) and sits on a 631 m² plot, which is exceptional for Ouwe Gouwe. Detached houses are rare in this area, and the price reflects that. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the size and character versus the neighbourhood average.
The home has energy label C. That is a reasonable rating for a house built in 1918. It means the home is moderately efficient: you can expect some energy costs, but it is not the worst. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while 47% have a lower label (D or below). So this home is slightly better than many older properties in the area.
Gouda train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there, you can reach Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 3,395), so public transport is well integrated.
Ouwe Gouwe has a mix of households: 28% are couples with children, 26% are couples without children, and 44% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a secondary school (Coornhert Gymnasium) is just 400 m away. Residents mention that facilities are good, but note that the neighbourhood lacks a community centre and that some elderly residents feel lonely.
The neighbourhood recorded 189 total crimes in the latest data. That is a moderate number for an area with 5,300 residents.

Overall, it is a typical urban neighbourhood with some issues but not considered dangerous.
The plot is 631 m², which is large for this neighbourhood. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space.
With 183 m² of living space, it is a large home, but the exact room layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for details.
Given the urban setting (address density 3,395), street parking may be available but could be limited. The plot is 631 m², so there might be space for a driveway or garage, but this is not confirmed in the data.
