Gouderak is a small village with around 2600 residents. It's a quiet, green place with polders nearby, exactly why some people move here. One resident describes it as a "Fine neighbourhood," while another is more mixed: "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." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2 out of 10. Most homes are owner-occupied (62%) and the area is predominantly family-oriented. Learn more about municipality Krimpenerwaard.
