Fine neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII 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.

About Middelblok 43, Gouderak
The asking price is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €807,750, but the house is also 58% smaller than the average floor area in Gouderak (191 m²). Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older detached home. It's not a bargain, but it's not overpriced either.
The energy label is E, which means the house is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 30.8% of homes have label A+ and 23.1% have label A, so this house is below average in terms of efficiency.
Gouderak is a quiet village with a green, polder landscape. Residents give it a mixed review: one finds it fine, another thinks people are less open than in cities and there's not much to do. It's family-friendly with many owner-occupied homes. For more amenities, you'd head to Gouda.
