Living in De Akkers, Schiedam

De Akkers is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of Schiedam, part of the Spaland en Sveaparken district. Walking around here, you see wide streets, spacious front gardens and a mix of through-lounge houses and semi-detached houses, all more or less from the same construction period. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable, consistent streetscape. Not spectacular, but not outdated either. Simply solidly built and well maintained.

The name says it all: De Akkers has something rural about it. The streets are named after agricultural terms and the layout of the neighbourhood exudes space. There is relatively a lot of green space in the immediate living environment, which is also reflected in resident scores: green scores an 8.0. Resident Jannie aptly describes the neighbourhood as "neat and cosy" and adds that it is quiet without any particular nuisance. That matches what you see in the figures: safety also scores an 8.0, and accessibility, cleanliness and facilities also come in at that level.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Supermarkets are within reach in the immediate vicinity, and the range of shops in the nearby districts completes the picture. Primary schools are present in the district, which is also visible in the demographic composition: families with children form the largest household group (235 of the 540 households). The education score of 8.0 confirms that parents are satisfied with this. For municipal information about facilities and services in the neighbourhood, you can visit the website of Schiedam municipality.
