Residents describe Gorecht-Noord as a place that has deteriorated. One resident says: "Many houses are being bought up by people who then rent them out again, resulting in many foreigners moving in who do no maintenance (house and garden) and do not integrate into the neighbourhood." Another notes: "Homes were increasingly bought up and sublet to, for example, labour migrants... these people maintain nothing around the house (gardens etc.), causing the appearance of the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly." A third resident calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with a working-class atmosphere, adding that some homes and gardens could be better maintained. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood Gorecht-Noord scores a 7.5 out of 10. The area has a high proportion of older residents, with many single-person households.

Many houses are being bought up by people who then rent them out again, resulting in many foreigners moving in who do no maintenance (house and garden) and do not integrate into the neighbourhood. A real shame because 10 years ago we had a very nice, tidy neighbourhood...

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has the atmosphere of a working-class area. The homes are not too expensive to buy. Some residents should maintain their homes and gardens better. Sometimes messy because of this.

About Sportterreinstraat 112, Hoogezand
At 104 m² and with a 267 m² plot, the price of €325,000 works out to about €3,125 per m². That is competitive for a detached home in Hoogezand, especially given the generous plot size. The energy label D means heating costs will be moderate, not rock-bottom but not excessive either.
Gorecht-Noord has a mixed reputation. Some residents feel the area has gone downhill due to buy-to-let investors and a lack of maintenance, while others appreciate the affordable homes and working-class atmosphere. The neighbourhood scores 7.5 out of 10 from three reviews, so it is worth visiting to see if it suits you.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including OBS de Achtbaan (616 m), Jenaplanschool 't Vlot (625 m) and CBS de Regenboog (629 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.7 km away.
The home has energy label D. That is average for a house of this age (1937). You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home. Insulation improvements could help reduce bills.
The plot is 267 m², which typically includes garden space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
