Living in Dubbeldam: green, quiet yet close to the city
On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Dubbeldam an 8.5 out of 10. The scores for safety (9.0) and the neighbourhood's appearance (8.8) are particularly striking. Resident Maurits sums it up well: "Very green and spacious. The kids can easily play at one of the playgrounds, I can walk the dog through the park adjacent to the neighbourhood, and when it freezes you can skate almost around the entire neighbourhood." That green, spacious character is exactly what defines Dubbeldam. It is not a city neighbourhood with hustle and bustle and cafes on the corner, but a neighbourhood where you have space and where children play outside.
In terms of amenities, there is plenty in the immediate vicinity. At Albert Schweitzerplaats you will find a supermarket, bakery and other daily shops. In the Egstraat and surroundings area there are a few smaller specialist shops. For primary education, there are several schools within the neighbourhood, including De Wegwijzer and Het Kompas. Residents rate the education an 8.6. Amenities score the lowest at 7.8, which makes sense: for a larger shopping centre or cinema you need to go to the centre of Dordrecht or to Sterrenburg. Resident Q notes that it does not really feel like "a neighbourhood", but rather a transitional area towards Stadspolders, and that some parts are dark for cycling in the evening. To be fair: if you are looking for a vibrant city life, you are better off in the City Centre of Dordrecht.
Accessibility scores an 8.4, although that depends on where in the neighbourhood you live. By car, via the N3 you are quickly on the A16 towards Rotterdam (about 25 minutes) or Breda. Dordrecht Station is about a ten-minute bike ride from the northern part of the neighbourhood, with intercity trains to Rotterdam Central in 20 minutes. Public transport within the neighbourhood is more limited. Q indicates having to walk at least ten minutes to the nearest bus stop. Bus lines 2 and 4 from municipality of Dordrecht connect the neighbourhood to the centre, but for many residents here, owning a car is not a luxury but a necessity. The Zuidpolder and the rural area around De Hoven are even more quietly located, but also further from amenities.
Is Dubbeldam right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price above €700,000, buying a home in Dubbeldam is mainly interesting for movers and dual-income earners with a solid budget. Families with children form the largest household group (1,995 households), and that is no coincidence: the combination of space, greenery and good schools attracts that target group.

First-time buyers with a smaller budget would be better off looking at Het Reeland or Nieuw-Krispijn, where entry prices are lower. When buying in Dubbeldam, keep in mind additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt doesn't really feel like a neighbourhood but more like a sort of in-between bit between Dubbeldam and Stadspolders. Some parts are scary to cycle in the dark and you have to walk at least 10 minutes to get to a bus stop from my house. A school is easy to reach and a supermarket too. There isn't an extraordinary amount of litter on the streets.
