Living in De Plantage, Schiedam

The neighbourhood owes its name to the historic park structure that lines the streets, and this greenery still defines its character to this day.

This makes De Plantage fundamentally different from the neighbouring Brandersbuurt or the more compact Binnenstad, where the supply mainly consists of smaller apartments.
In terms of amenities, De Plantage benefits from its location on the edge of the city centre. The Hoogstraat and Broersveld, with supermarkets, specialist shops and eateries, are within cycling distance. The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam and the City Archives are a short walk away.

Residents rate accessibility at 7.0, a solid score that reflects the good but not exceptional public transport connections.
Resident Saadeldin Berkhout describes the neighbourhood as "gezellig" and says: "Nice neighbourhood, could sometimes be cleaner, but a top neighbourhood!" That sums up the atmosphere well. De Plantage is not a neighbourhood where you trip over the streets, but the beauty of the public space could use a touch-up here and there.
