Living in Goes-Centrum, Goes

Goes-Centrum is the beating heart of the city and feels like a mix of historic cosiness and daily bustle. The Grote Markt, Lange Kerkstraat and Ganzepoortstraat together form the shopping area where you can find chains, but also local speciality shops such as cheese shop De Goese Kaashal and bookshop Van Velzen. On the Grote Markt there is a market every Tuesday and Saturday, giving the centre a lively character. The large Mariakerk dominates the streetscape and around the Singel area you will find the green edges of the centre, with the Molenplein and Hollandiaplein as quiet spots.

The housing supply is varied. You will find everything here: monumental townhouses along the canals, upstairs apartments above shops in the city centre, and on the edges more compact terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s. If you want to buy an apartment in Goes-Centrum, you have the most choice. Single-family homes are scarcer and often sell quickly.

In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Albert Heijn supermarket is on Lange Vorststraat, and Jumbo is within walking distance on Marconistraat. Primary school De Veste is in the centre, and for secondary education, Ostrea Lyceum is a bike ride away. GPs and pharmacies are well represented. Goes station is a ten-minute walk from the Grote Markt and offers direct trains to Middelburg, Vlissingen and Bergen op Zoom. By car, via the Deltaweg (N256) you are quickly on the A58 towards Roosendaal or Bergen op Zoom. Bus lines depart from the station and Stationsplein towards the surrounding villages.

Residents appreciate the liveliness and proximity of everything. At the same time, there are well-known downsides: parking is difficult and expensive, especially if you do not have your own parking space. On market days and Saturdays it is busy, and the hospitality venues on the Grote Markt cause noise nuisance in the immediate vicinity in the evenings. One resident wrote: "You have everything within walking distance here, but you have to be able to handle some hustle and bustle, especially at weekends." If you want the atmosphere of the centre but a bit more peace and quiet, you could look at the supply in the neighbourhood Goes-West or Goes-Noordoost.
