Raam en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Nonnenwater is a small but efficient home in the middle of the historic centre. At €215,000, the asking price is 62% below the neighbourhood average of €564,538, a reflection of the compact size rather than the location. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €4,168, so this studio is priced keenly. If you're looking for a foothold in Gouda, this is one of the more affordable options among studios in Gouda.
The neighbourhood Raam e.o. is the beating heart of Gouda's old town. With 2,180 residents packed into a dense, historic street pattern, it's a place where everything is on your doorstep. One resident sums it up: "Ugly but in a top location." They note that the houses are not pretty, the area is expensive, and there's little greenery, but all amenities are within easy reach. King's Day gets very busy, and the streets can be littered. It's not a family-heavy neighbourhood: only 270 households have children, and 580 are single-person households. The average household size is 1.8, so this is very much a place for singles and couples who value convenience over calm.
For your morning bread, the Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, St. Aloysius and Casimirschool, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run a doddle. The municipality Gouda has a compact centre, so most daily needs are within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, handy for commutes to Utrecht or The Hague. There's a restaurant on your doorstep, and a park or public garden is a couple of streets away for a bit of green.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Alpha Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

The 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.

About Nonnenwater 7B, Gouda
The asking price is 62% below the neighbourhood average of €564,538, but that average includes much larger homes. At 40 m², this studio is 76% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m². The price per m² works out to about €5,375, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,168 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
The energy label is B, which is good for a home built in 1920. It means the home is reasonably efficient, so you won't face excessively high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label B, and 16.7% have label A or better, so this studio is above average in energy performance for its age.
The train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Utrecht or The Hague without needing a car.
The neighbourhood has a mix of singles and couples, 580 single-person households and 320 households without children. Only 270 households have children. One resident describes it as having no students, but also notes that neighbourhood get-togethers are poorly attended. It's a busy, central area rather than a quiet community.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The nearest park or public garden is 0.6 km away, a couple of streets from the home.
The listing states it is a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area plus a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not detailed, but the floor area is 40 m², so it is compact.
