Living in Woudrichem zuid, Altena
Woudrichem zuid is the quieter, more residential part of the historic fortified town of Woudrichem. Anyone looking for a home to buy here consciously chooses a neighbourhood with a village-like and cosy character, within walking distance of the compact historic city centre. The buildings largely consist of houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill on freed-up plots. Terraced houses and semi-detached houses are most common, with the occasional detached house on the wider streets towards the dikes.
The atmosphere in the neighbourhood is quiet and clear. Children play in the street, neighbours know each other, and the scale is human. This clearly appeals to the over-45s and families who live here: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and households with children are the most common household type. This is also reflected in the amenities: there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and the centre of Woudrichem offers a supermarket, a pharmacy and a number of local shops within a short cycling distance. For a larger range of shops, residents drive to Gorinchem, which is about ten minutes away by car.
Green space is present in Woudrichem zuid, but not abundant. The dikes around the town are the big asset: walking along the Merwede or the Afgedamde Maas is a daily habit for many residents.

There are bus connections towards Gorinchem, but for train travellers, Gorinchem station is the nearest option, about ten minutes away by car.

The ferry across the Merwede connects Woudrichem with Gorinchem, which is a nice and practical option for cyclists. Residents appreciate the peace and location, but are honest about the fact that you need a car here for daily life.
