Living in Noord: an honest picture of the neighbourhood
Noord is one of the larger neighbourhoods of Gouda with over 10,600 residents. It is not a neighbourhood with one clear character. Around Statensingel and Ouwe Gouwe you will find pre-war and post-war buildings with character, while neighbourhoods such as Wethouder Venteweg and de Slagenbuurt are newer and more spacious. Towards De Goudse Hout it becomes greener, with a recreation area and water around the corner.
On the neighbourhood page of Noord, residents give the area a 7.3 out of 10 based on ten reviews. Accessibility scores notably high (8.5), and that makes sense: Gouda station is within cycling distance, bus lines towards the centre and surrounding towns stop along Burgemeester Jamessingel and Bodegraafsestraatweg, and the A12 and A20 are reachable within ten minutes. Safety is also rated well at 7.9. Resident Loïs calls it "a great neighbourhood with many growing children and families", but notes that good primary schools are far away. Education therefore scores a 7.1, which fits that picture. In Noord itself you will find, among others, OBS Burgemeester James and a number of smaller schools, but for specific education parents sometimes go to other parts of Gouda.
In terms of amenities, daily life is well organised. Along the Bodegraafsestraatweg there are supermarkets, a GP and various small shops. For more extensive shopping you go to the centre or to Bloemendaal with Bloemendaal shopping centre. Green space and cleanliness score the lowest at 6.3 and 6.2. Resident Rinus notes that "many trees have been cut down near the Kazerne" and Marijke writes that the ditch banks look bad and that "far too little is mowed". The waste around containers is a recurring point of criticism. At the same time, residents mention that people greet and help each other. Marijke does note that there is no real community centre left in Noord: the former neighbourhood centre Gebouw Noord is now used by the Salvation Army, which is a loss especially for older residents. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Gouda.
For which buyers is Noord a good choice?
The largest age group in Noord is 25 to 45 years old, and the neighbourhood therefore attracts many young families and dual-income couples. With an average purchase price around €394,000 and apartments from about €250,000, buying an apartment in Noord is feasible for first-time buyers, especially compared to the Binnenstad. Movers looking for a larger family home will find what they are looking for in neighbourhoods such as Middenwillens or Achterwillenseweg. Keep in mind additional costs: transfer tax (2% for owner-occupation), notary and valuation costs quickly add up to several thousand euros. The supply varies and overbidding occurs, so do your research well. Those who prefer to rent first can look at rental homes in Noord.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany trees cut down Kazerne Why ???? make the rest a bit cosy yourself RINUS
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that the people in the Jozefhof hardly connect with each other; the owner-occupied apartments do, but the rental apartments have little interaction with each other. That might also be because the young people all work. But even when a neighbourhood party is organised, I don't see them either; making connections is not a thing, not even with the joy and sorrow fund. And what I also miss in this neighbourhood is a community centre; quite a lot of elderly people live here, which is a pity. And there are also people in this neighbourhood who are alone and lonely. Accessibility is good, safety could always be better. In the apartment complex, we sometimes have unwanted guests. Facilities are good; shops around the corner, GP and station are around the corner. Daily amenities are available.

Auto-translated to English by AIPleasantly, many people greet each other, know each other. And are willing to help each other. Only the rubbish is a problem; people just put it next to the containers. I'm afraid they don't want to pay for it. And green spaces: they mow far too little, once a year the ditch bank looks terrible. I'm not the only one who thinks that; many people complain about it. I think it's a shame that people rarely report it. Furthermore, we miss a community centre in the neighbourhood; many elderly and lonely people live here. We would appreciate that.
Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant neighbourhood, but it's a shame that the younger people have little time and that there is no meeting centre here. In Gouda Noord, quite a lot of elderly people live, and they are also lonely. In the past, the Noord building was a community centre, but now it belongs to the Salvation Army. So we consider that a point of attention. And also another point: a lot of rubbish near the bins; people don't throw it in, they prefer to put it next to it so they don't have to pay. That doesn't make the neighbourhood any better.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery cosy neighbourhood, but a shame that there is little for children and that young people don't feel like having a neighbourhood drink or a party, no time, the people are too old. We have a beautiful courtyard, but it is used too little. And I am a party-starter myself, but even then it's difficult, so I say let's try to make connections here step by step. Not wanting too much at once.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in many places in my life, but this is by far the nicest. Just outside the city centre, but within a 5-minute walk of a shop or terrace. It has everything of a city, yet the peace and cosiness of a village.
