Super nice child-friendly neighbourhood

This is my own house. I don't quite understand that there is 65m of living space while it is 140m.

A quiet neighbourhood, few young people.

It is a very quiet neighbourhood, where relatively little crime occurs. Many elderly people. With the Sterrenburg shopping centre around the corner, you can easily get all kinds of groceries. Just not much to do for the youth.

Wilgenwende a beautiful neighbourhood with owner-occupied homes for young and old

We live in an apartment that is completely our thing, surrounded by beautiful houses of all classes. The neighbourhood is green and below us there is a large daycare centre. You can also enjoy lovely walks and you are quickly in the Dordtse Biesbos, which is great for cycling. There is still a lack of a food market shop, but the Sterrenburg shopping centre is nearby. The neighbourhood is well maintained and looks tidy. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has only one through road, but they are thinking about a second access.

Nice neighbourhood

Nice neighbourhood but far too few parking spaces, otherwise we live very pleasantly. The only stumbling block is that far too little grass is mowed along the footpath at the bottom of the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk; if you want to cross the little bridge, you first have to pass tall stinging nettles, and once on the footpath, it gets narrower by the week, causing dogs to do their business on the asphalt.

fine, a bit boring

the houses are well arranged in nice locations, there are many parks and other types of nature. The roads are nice and the trains are good! We just don't do much with the street (if you look at other streets that have a lot of parties, for example) and there is a lot of rubbish.

A cosy, snug neighbourhood with lots of nature nearby

Overall it's a nice neighbourhood, but there are some residents who cause a bit of unrest. The Biesbosch is nearby, which is very nice, and shops and schools are within walking distance.
