Why is Ruige weide at the top?
Ruige weide scores a 9.4 on this list, with an average property value of € 772,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Oudewater that has a grade for this measure.

The figures come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
