Living in Middenpolder: a neighbourhood where neighbours are still neighbours
Middenpolder is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacle, but precisely for what it does have: peace, structure and a remarkably strong sense of community. Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.1 on Buurtje.nl, with highs for safety (9.0) and green spaces (8.5). That is no coincidence. Eicker, one of the residents, describes it like this: neighbours keep an eye on each other's homes when away, accept packages, send Christmas cards down the street and have a chat when it suits. Nien simply adds: she lives in her dream neighbourhood. More reviews and all sub-scores can be found on the Middenpolder neighbourhood page.
The neighbourhood consists of two clearly recognisable districts: the Staatsliedenbuurt and the Zeeheldenbuurt. Both districts have a mix of family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, with relatively many green spaces in the streets and a quiet traffic structure. Amenities are present without the neighbourhood feeling busy: there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and for daily shopping you are quickly at a supermarket. Sports clubs and play areas are accessible within the neighbourhood or in adjacent neighbourhoods. The municipality of Papendrecht has more information about local amenities and projects at papendrecht.nl.

Bus services run towards the centre of Papendrecht and to Dordrecht. Living in Middenpolder therefore means you rely on public transport at a distance, but by car you are quickly on the motorway.
