Gouderak is a small village with around 2,600 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and the majority are single-family houses. It is a green area with polders, which is what drew many people here. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it a "Fine neighbourhood" and rates it 8.38 out of 10. Another gives a 6.0, saying: "I think people here are a lot less open and thoughtful than in larger cities, which is a shame. For example, the atmosphere at the swimming pool isn't always pleasant either, sometimes there are arguments and once an assault. Also, I find there's not much to do, you're better off going into Gouda. It is nicely green with the polders, that's why we came here." So while the setting is appreciated, the social atmosphere and amenities get mixed marks. For more on the area, see the municipality of Krimpenerwaard.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are Albert Heijn and Aldi, both about a ten-minute walk away. There is also a Boon's Markt a couple of streets further. Primary schools are within walking distance: PCBS Koningin Juliana is just over a kilometre away, and De Bron and obs De Kranepoort are about a ten-minute walk.

About Kattendijk 177, Gouderak
The asking price of €720,000 is in line with the local market. The median price for homes in Gouderak is €587,500, but that includes all types. For detached houses specifically, the average price per m² is €4,418, and this home has 147 m², which works out to about €4,898 per m².
