Homes for sale in Lingewijk, Gorinchem

Purchase prices in Lingewijk: what you pay and how it compares to Gorinchem

Of the more than 1,300 homes in Lingewijk, 38% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, mostly from a housing association. This makes Lingewijk a neighbourhood with a relatively modest owner-occupied market. The average WOZ value is around €308,000, just below the municipal average of €312,000 for Gorinchem as a whole. However, actual transaction prices over the past year were significantly higher: of the six homes sold, the average purchase price was €545,333, with a range of €350,000 to €685,000 and an average living area of 124 m². This difference between WOZ and sale price indicates that the homes for sale in Lingewijk tend to be larger and more expensive, likely family homes and detached houses. The current supply and average asking price can be found at the top of this page.

For comparison, those looking more broadly can also consider owner-occupied homes in Gorinchem as a whole, or adjacent neighbourhoods where supply and price ranges sometimes differ.

Living in Lingewijk: a family neighbourhood with a calm rhythm and a critical note about green space

Lingewijk is best described as calm and functional. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category. This is noticeable in the neighbourhood itself: children play on the streets, there are playgrounds, and the atmosphere is one of familiarity. Resident A aptly describes it: "Many children playing together in the large playground. I find the atmosphere in the neighbourhood very pleasant." Resident Pender sums it up as "we know each other", a quiet area with everyday conveniences close at hand. On the Lingewijk neighbourhood page you can read all resident reviews and see the full scores per category.

The average resident score on Buurtje.nl is 7.4 out of 10. Accessibility scores highest at 8.5, followed by housing at 8.0. Green space (6.5) and education (7.0) score lower. The latter is also reflected in the reviews: Bart writes that he likes the neighbourhood but experiences the lack of green space and shortage of rubbish bins as drawbacks. He is critical of education in the region based on his own experiences. These are honest signals for buyers who value these aspects. In terms of amenities, supermarkets and primary schools are accessible in and around Lingewijk, and Gorinchem city centre, with its historic centre, shops and eateries, is a short bike ride away. For those who prefer a more urban lifestyle, the Gorinchem city centre offers a different type of supply.

Accessibility of Lingewijk is good. Gorinchem has its own train station with connections to Utrecht, Dordrecht and Den Bosch. By car, the A15 and A27 motorways are quickly reached, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. Bus services provide local connections. Those who want to compare other Gorinchem neighbourhoods can look at Wijdschild, Haarwijk or Gildenwijk, each with its own character and price level.

For whom is buying in Lingewijk a logical choice?

Lingewijk mainly attracts families and movers seeking space and wanting to avoid the bustle of the centre. Given the average sale price of over €545,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. Those eyeing a home in Lingewijk should factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey. Supply is limited, with only six transactions in the past year, meaning homes can sell quickly. If buying is not currently feasible, rental properties in Lingewijk are an alternative to consider.
