Nieuwe Markt en omgeving, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A monumental 1815 townhouse right on Gouda's market square, with 371 m² of living space spread over several floors. The price is on the high side, at €1,142,000 it is the most expensive of the 19 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 131% above the local average.

The neighbourhood Nieuwe Markt e.o. is the historic heart of Gouda, with a very high density of addresses (4,101 per km²). It is a young, urban area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One resident describes it as "fun" during the day but notes that "in the evening, I find the neighbourhood a bit scary to walk through, sometimes some odd characters." The same resident also mentions that green space is scarce: "Green in the city is almost nowhere to be seen." Based on one review, this is a lively but not uniformly quiet place to live.
For groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Coop a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Casimirschool, is a five-minute walk, and the Catholic St. Aloysius school is similarly close. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the municipality Gouda offers all the usual city amenities, restaurants, a library, and a park are all within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Van Herk Makelaars, Funda, and Huispedia.

So 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?

About Markt 8, Gouda
The asking price is 131% above the neighbourhood average of €494,763 and is the highest of the 19 homes currently for sale in Nieuwe Markt e.o. However, the home is also 231% larger than the average (371 m² vs 112 m²) and is a monumental property from 1815. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the historic character and central location.
The energy label is E. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label: 36.8% have label A, 21.1% label B, and 10.5% label A+. Label E means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs. The home dates from 1815, so improvements may be possible but could be limited by its monumental status.
One resident says the area feels "a bit scary to walk through" in the evening, mentioning "odd characters" and "some deals." The same resident also notes that during the day it is nice and that sleeping is easy despite the noise. The neighbourhood has a high crime rate (376 total crimes), which may be a consideration.
