De Meesterbuurt15-11-2025
It's a normal neighbourhood

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. You really miss the sense of community in the neighbourhood because that used to be the case. There are also many people walking around with dangerous loose dogs like pitbulls that recently bit another dog. That is also dangerous for the residents themselves.

Nice to live in

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.

It's nice living with the windmills

The neighbourhood is fun with the windmills, whisper boat, jenever museum. There are fun things to do, come and have a look, Schiedam is nice.

One of the worse neighbourhoods in Schiedam

I've lived in West and East before. Wibautbuurt is a lot better than Schiedam East, but here there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying.
