Vrouwevestesteeg 14
Turfmarkt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodA home with history on a quiet street
This semi-detached house on Vrouwevestesteeg sits in the heart of Gouda, where the streets hum with city life but the house itself feels tucked away. With 78 m² of living space and a 77 m² plot, it's compact but full of character. The price of €375,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because the floor area is 27% smaller than the typical home in the area. For context, semi-detached houses in Gouda are scarce, which keeps demand strong.
Turfmarkt e.o., central, lively, with a mixed feel
Based on one resident review, the Turfmarkt e.o. neighbourhood gets a 6.75 out of 10. The resident says: "My living place is ideal, I enjoy it and we live centrally. It's a cosy neighbourhood with supermarkets within walking distance, the station a 5-minute bike ride away, and there's plenty of greenery." But they also note: "It's scary to walk the streets at night as a woman." The area is very urban (address density 3973 addresses per km²) and has a mix of ages, with many one-person households and a fair share of families.
Daily life: bread, school, groceries
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, Coop and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Casimirschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and Het Segment School v PRO (secondary) is about the same distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and cafés is on your doorstep. The municipality of Gouda keeps the historic centre well maintained, so you get old-world charm with modern amenities.

Frequently asked questions
About Vrouwevestesteeg 14, Gouda

Experiences from Turfmarkt en omgeving
How residents experience their neighbourhood
My living place is ideal, I enjoy it and we live centrally. It's a cosy neighbourhood with supermarkets within walking distance, the station a 5-minute bike ride away, and there's plenty of greenery. (Even in the city centre) However, my downstairs neighbour is fierce and unfriendly, people don't quickly help each other, and it's scary to walk the streets at night as a woman.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe houses are really ugly, everything is expensive. No students. All possible amenities in the neighbourhood. King's Day is always way too busy. Very little greenery, and there are often bits of plastic and stuff lying in the street. There might be a neighbourhood get-together but only 8 people go.
Auto-translated to English by AISo far, the people who live here are quite to themselves; I don't hear much from the neighbours or hardly see them. During the day it's nice in the city, and despite the noise sometimes, I find sleeping easy too. In the evening, I find the neighbourhood a bit scary to walk through, sometimes some odd characters and there are some deals I've seen, but I don't get involved, I just live safely so far! Green in the city is almost nowhere to be seen, maybe more maintenance for plants or trees?
Auto-translated to English by AINieuwe Park Oost is a cosy neighbourhood, and you definitely notice that at the annual neighbourhood barbecue. But sometimes there is noise nuisance in the evenings or when there is an event in the city centre. In the summer this is worse due to several groups of loitering youths playing music and shouting in various places in the park.

How residents experience their municipality
Little greenery, often a lot of rubbish. But there are good small businesses and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy and nice neighbourhood where I feel very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is safe, social and is growing towards a better environment and in terms of facilities.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of Poles
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a great neighbourhood, with many growing children and families, unfortunately the education in Goverwelle is not so good and the good primary schools are far away.
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 AINo problems, just put in a bit of effort yourself, if everyone does that it's fine
