Living in De Akkers: family neighbourhood with short lines
De Akkers is a typical 1980s and 1990s neighbourhood in Spijkenisse, built around recognisable sub-neighbourhoods such as Gaarden, Dreven, Voorden and Akkers-Centrum. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for its practical layout. The largest group of households consists of families with children (1,875 households), and you can tell: there are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including De Singel and Het Kompas. On the neighbourhood page of De Akkers, residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 7.0, with notably high marks for accessibility (8.0) and safety (8.0). Education scores a 7.5 and amenities likewise.
Resident EJ Ramos Miranda sums it up succinctly: "I have shops within walking distance, a reasonably green environment, and I get along well with my neighbours." And that is true. Akkers Shopping Centre is centrally located in the neighbourhood and offers, among others, an Albert Heijn, Kruidvat and various specialist shops. For larger grocery runs or shopping, you can drive to the centre of Spijkenisse in five minutes, or take the metro. De Akkers metro station is on the edge of the neighbourhood and takes you to Rotterdam Central Station in about 35 minutes via the Erasmus line. There are also bus routes connecting you to other parts of Voorne-Putten. By car, you can quickly reach the A15 via the N218, towards Rotterdam or the Europoort.
In terms of green spaces, De Akkers is reasonable but not abundant. Residents give green spaces a score of 6.0. There are parks and playgrounds scattered across the sub-neighbourhoods Donken and Kreken, but for a real park you have to cycle to the Hartelkanaal or the Bernissebos. Resident Don Verhoef calls the neighbourhood "cosy" and emphasises that all amenities are easily accessible. Sports club VV Spijkenisse and tennis club De Akkers are within cycling distance. The neighbourhood is not hip or trendy, but functional and social. That fits with the average income of €31,500, which is below the municipal average of €37,200. The percentage of highly educated residents is modest at 13%. More information about the municipality of Nissewaard and its housing policy can be found on the municipal website.
