Living in Componistenbuurt, Gouda
Componistenbuurt owes its name to streets named after famous composers, such as Beethovenstraat, Mozartlaan and Brahmsstraat. This immediately gives the neighbourhood a recognisable character: quiet, orderly and clear. The area was built in the 1980s and has the typical profile of a pre-Vinex development: wide streets, quite a lot of greenery between the houses, and a layout clearly aimed at families.

Of the households, 47% are married, confirming the image of a stable, family-oriented neighbourhood.
