Merwedekanaal 104
Papland, Gorinchem
AreaA spacious family home on the Merwedekanaal
This semi-detached house sits right on the water in Gorinchem's Papland neighbourhood, with a generous 170 m² of living space and a large 785 m² plot. The 1898 facade hides a modernised interior with energy label A, so you get character without the draughts. At €825,000, the price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Gorinchem, but the canal frontage and plot size are exceptional.
Papland, quiet and green
Papland is a tiny, leafy enclave with just 60 residents, mostly families and couples. It feels more like a village than a city neighbourhood, very quiet, with hardly any traffic. One resident says: "It's wonderfully peaceful here, and you can walk straight into the countryside." The municipality Gorinchem keeps the area well-maintained, and the low crime rate (12 incidents) adds to the sense of safety.
Daily life on the street
For your morning bread, Nettorama is a ten-minute walk away, and Coop and Lidl are just a couple of streets further. Schools are close too: Gilde Vakcollege Techniek is a five-minute walk, and Lyceum Oudehoven is about ten minutes on foot. The nearest primary school is a bit further, but still within a fifteen-minute walk.
