Living in Groenmarkt and surroundings means living in a place that shows Dordrecht at its best. The neighbourhood lies in the historic centre of the city, around the Groenmarkt itself, and exudes the atmosphere of an old merchant town that has preserved its character.

It is not a neighbourhood with terraced houses from the 1970s, but a place where every property has its own story.
