Living in Cartonnagebuurt, Schiedam
Cartonnagebuurt is located in the district Nieuwland, a post-war expansion district north of the historic centre of Schiedam. The neighbourhood itself is named after the former cardboard industry that was once active here, and this industrial past is still subtly felt in the straight street layout and the sober, functional architectural style. The homes largely date from the 1950s and 1960s: porch flats, gallery flats and a limited number of single-family homes. They are not spectacular properties, but they are spacious homes for the price.
What sets the neighbourhood apart are the windmills. Schiedam has the tallest windmills in the world, and from Cartonnagebuurt you can see them prominently in the landscape. Resident Petra writes: "The neighbourhood is nice with the windmills, whisper boat, jenever museum, there are fun things to do, come and have a look, Schiedam is fun." These attractions are within walking distance and give the neighbourhood a character that you won't find in many other Schiedam neighbourhoods. At the same time, there is also criticism: the same resident indicates that cleanliness is a point of attention. "It's fun but a lot of mess, needs to be tidier," she writes. The score for cleanliness of 5.5 out of 10 confirms that picture and is the lowest sub-score of the neighbourhood.
Accessibility, on the other hand, scores well, with an 8.0. Schiedam Centrum station is within cycling distance and offers fast connections to Rotterdam and The Hague. Metro line E stops at Schiedam Centrum and takes you to Rotterdam Centraal in about ten minutes. By car, the A20 is easily accessible via the Burgemeester Knappertlaan. Daily shopping can be done in the immediate vicinity, including at the supermarkets on Mgr. Nolenslaan. For more extensive shopping, the city centre of Schiedam is easily reachable by bike.
Green space also scores an 8.0. Volkspark and Sterrenboschpark are nearby and offer space for a walk or an afternoon outdoors. Children in the neighbourhood can attend primary schools in the Nieuwland district. The community score of 7.5 suggests that residents know each other, although the neighbourhood, with many single-person households (225 of the 591 homes), is not a typical family neighbourhood. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, which explains the relatively quiet atmosphere during the day.
Compared to surrounding neighbourhoods such as Staatsliedenbuurt or Hollandiabuurt, Cartonnagebuurt is somewhat rougher in character, but also more fairly priced. Spieringshoek offers a slightly greener profile for comparison. For those seeking more urban dynamism, the owner-occupied homes in Nieuwland offer a broader palette within the same district.
