Dubbeldam: space and tranquillity, but not a real neighbourhood for everyone
Dubbeldam scores an 8.2 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. That is a solid score, but the ratings tell a nuanced story. Safety (8.8) and sense of community (8.5) are highly valued, while amenities (7.5) and green space (7.8) score slightly lower. Resident Maurits describes the neighbourhood as "very green and spacious": his children play on one of the two playgrounds, he walks the dog in the adjacent park, and when it freezes there is even room to skate around almost the entire neighbourhood. That kind of space is not a given in Dordrecht.
Yet the picture is not entirely positive. Another resident writes that Dubbeldam "doesn't really feel like a neighbourhood", but more like an in-between area between Dubbeldam village and Stadspolders. Some cycle routes are unpleasant in the dark, and those without a car notice that the nearest bus stop is sometimes more than a ten-minute walk away. Accessibility scores an 8.0, which is reasonable for a neighbourhood without its own train station, but the experience depends heavily on exactly where you live. See the full resident experiences and scores on the Dubbeldam neighbourhood page, where all reviews and neighbourhood data are compiled.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. Dubbeldam-Noord and Dubbeldam-Zuid are the best known, but Belthure Park and Oudendijk and surroundings also fall under Dubbeldam. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (nearly 3,800 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. This explains the quiet, established atmosphere. Families with children are well represented (nearly 2,000 households), and 47% of residents are married. It is not a neighbourhood where you will find a bustling nightlife square in the evening, but that is not what people choose it for.
Renting in Dubbeldam: suitable for those seeking space, less so for those who want to move quickly

Some parts are scary to cycle in the dark and you have to walk at least 10 minutes to get to a bus stop from my house. A school is easy to reach and a supermarket too. There isn't an extraordinary amount of litter on the streets.
