The Boylebuurt
Life in the Boylebuurt is a mixed bag, according to residents of the wider municipality of Schiedam, who give their area an average score of 7.09 out of 10 based on 18 reviews. One resident says: "The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on. What is a plus point is that you live close to shops and schools, which is very handy and easily accessible." Another adds: "It's nice but a lot of rubbish needs to be tidied up again, a show-off who keeps everything to himself and makes sure it stays tidy." The neighbourhood itself has around 1,220 residents, and the housing stock is split evenly between pre-1945 and 1945-1970 builds. For more on the area, see the Boylebuurt neighbourhood.
