Living in Palissander and surroundings, Dordrecht
Palissander and surroundings is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the district Stadspolders, on the western edge of Dordrecht. The neighbourhood owes its name to the tropical wood species palissander, just like surrounding neighbourhoods such as Azobe and surroundings and Iroko and surroundings, all named after exotic wood species. This gives Stadspolders as a whole a recognisable character.
The housing stock mainly consists of spacious single-family homes and detached houses, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery, and the homes generally have a garden. It is a neighbourhood that you would compare more to a suburb than an urban environment. Families with children are therefore the largest household group, and 47% of residents are married. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, confirming the picture of a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time.
Facilities in Palissander and surroundings
One of the neighbourhood's strongest points is the proximity of facilities. A shopping centre is within walking distance, which resident Julio Guapo also explicitly mentions in his review. So you don't need to take the car for daily shopping.

The location next to the Wantij, the adjacent green strip and the Wantijdijk offer excellent opportunities for walking, running and cycling. Residents give greenery a perfect score of 10 out of 10, and facilities also score maximum. These are no coincidences.
Accessibility
The neighbourhood is easily accessible by car via the N3 towards the A16 (Rotterdam) and the A15 (Gorinchem/Utrecht). The centre of Dordrecht is about ten minutes away by car.

Pleasant living environment with a shopping centre within walking distance. Lots of playgrounds and plenty of greenery. With the wantij around the corner and the adjacent green strip and wantijdijk, the surroundings are beautiful. The area is easily accessible, although parking for visitors is always a bit more challenging. Charging the electric car is also hopeless, especially because many neighbours still park their petrol cars at charging points. An additional drawback in terms of accessibility is the limited number of access roads, which can make it difficult to get off the estate when there is occasional freight traffic. Moreover, the access roads into the area are extremely busy during rush hour. There is often litter in the playgrounds and fields, mainly due to loitering youths. In addition, many scooters drive very fast on the cycle paths and the loswalweg. On that latter road, cars also regularly drive very fast with loud music. Most houses would benefit from a fresh coat of paint or a pressure wash of the facade. They are not the greatest architectural masterpieces anyway, but the street scene is deteriorating further because of this. Neighbours are generally friendly, although you really only have contact with the neighbours in your immediate vicinity.
