The Binnenstad neighbourhood
Binnenstad is the historic core of Schiedam, with a dense urban feel (address density 5,444 per km²). The one resident review gives a score of 6.0, noting: "I've lived here for 14 years, very special because my father was born on this street. But in recent years the neighbourhood has deteriorated. They gave it a makeover but that doesn't improve anything. More people live here and also different people at the same addresses who simply don't belong here. It's very noisy and the nuisance has increased." Based on this single review, the experience is mixed. The area has many young adults (25-45 years) and a high proportion of single-person households.
