All necessary amenities within walking distance of both bustle and tranquillity. (Shops, museums and nature). Plenty of choice in eateries and sufficient activities or events. There are enough patrols by police and community wardens, quite a few primary schools in the city centre and sufficient choice of secondary education in the suburbs. A beautiful location with city walls, monuments and parks in the suburbs. For the rest, plenty of shops and a weekly market in the centre and shopping centres in the suburbs. Easily accessible due to the central location in the country thanks to the motorway junction. In addition, a train and bus station and also accessible by water via the ferry services.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is good, I've only been living here for 3 weeks but I'm extremely pleased.
Auto-translated to English by AIvery nice cosy neighbourhood that really gets into the holidays. everything is within walking distance. you can't do anything about the people but we've been lucky with that. the only dangerous thing is a bend in the street that lorries can't take properly, so cars often get smashed up. more colour and plants would be nice. especially plants make it so much nicer and cosier.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll necessary shops, restaurants, terraces nearby. Also beautiful city walls, buildings and plenty of space to relax, especially by the river with beaches. Lots of activities, culture, culinary and festivals. Train, buses, ferries within walking distance. Most amenities are present, vacant shops are limited and many independent shops instead of large corporations.

About Langendijk 55C, Gorinchem
The asking price is 49% below the average asking price in Benedenstad (€483,217), but this studio is also much smaller than average (40 m² vs 116 m²) and has an energy label G. So the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, energy-inefficient home in the centre.
Benedenstad is the historic centre of Gorinchem, with a lively mix of shops, restaurants and monuments. Residents appreciate that everything is within walking distance and that there's a good balance between bustle and tranquillity. The area is densely populated and has many single-person households.
Gorinchem train station is about 1 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. The station offers connections to the rest of the Netherlands.
SPAR is just 235 metres away, Coop at 415 metres, and there are several other supermarkets within a short distance. The centre also has a weekly market and plenty of other shops.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the poor end.
The price is relatively low for the area, but the small size and poor energy label mean you'll have higher running costs. It's a compact studio, so it suits someone who wants to live alone in the centre and doesn't need much space.
