Groenmarkt en omgeving, Dordrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Varkenmarkt sits right in the historic centre, with the lively Groenmarkt just steps away. At 166 m², it's generously sized for a city home, and the 2005 build means modern construction with energy label B. The asking price of €799,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the size and quality, apartments in Dordrecht vary widely.
Groenmarkt en omgeving is a tight-knit, civilised part of the Binnenstad. Two residents describe it as a 'cosy neighbourhood' where 'people get along well with each other and also look out for one another', and another says 'I always feel safe'. It's a dense urban area with a mix of ages, though more older residents than young families. The market square is a couple of streets away, and the whole area has a friendly, village-like feel within the city. This is the Groenmarkt en omgeving neighbourhood at its best.
