Living in Noletbuurt, Schiedam

Noletbuurt is located in the southern part of Schiedam, directly bordering the Nieuwe Maas. The neighbourhood takes its name from the former Noletwerf, a historic shipyard and distillery site that symbolises Schiedam's industrial past. That past is still visible in the street names, the scale of the buildings and the atmosphere: this is not a soulless new-build area, but a neighbourhood with character and its own identity.

The housing stock largely consists of porch flats and maisonettes from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with some newer apartments built closer to the Maasboulevard. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Noletbuurt will find relatively affordable options here compared to the rest of Schiedam. Ground-level terraced houses also exist but are scarcer and sell quickly.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional but not excessive. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets within cycling distance in the adjacent centre of Schiedam. The Lange Kerkstraat and the city centre, about ten minutes away by bike, offer a wider range of shops. For children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and Beatrixpark, a short distance towards the centre, provides green space and play areas. Sporty residents can find their way to the sports complexes along Nieuwe Damlaan.

Accessibility is a strong point of Noletbuurt. Schiedam Centrum station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Rotterdam Centraal (about ten minutes), The Hague and Delft. Via the A20 and nearby slip roads towards the A4, the neighbourhood is also well connected by car to the region. Bus services via Rotterdamseweg provide connections to the rest of Schiedam and Rotterdam.

Residents appreciate the location by the water and the connection to the city. On the neighbourhood main page of Noletbuurt you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "The location on the Maas gives the neighbourhood something unique, but the parking pressure in the evenings is a point of annoyance." That sentiment about parking recurs more often in the reviews. The atmosphere is described as quiet during the day, with a mixed population of young working people, families and older residents.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Eilandenbuurt and Maasboulevard, Noletbuurt has a somewhat more subdued character. Maasboulevard has more new-build and higher prices; Sandersbuurt is more compact and residential. Noletbuurt sits in between: affordable, with a recognisable neighbourhood structure and a direct connection to the water.

Is a home for sale in Noletbuurt right for you?

Buying a home in Noletbuurt is attractive for first-time buyers and young couples who want to live affordably in the Rotterdam region without going into the city. The average purchase price of €287,857 and the entry level from €200,000 make buying in Noletbuurt more realistic than in many other Schiedam neighbourhoods. Families looking for space can find a home here, but must take into account a limited supply of larger ground-level homes. Seniors who want single-level living will find suitable apartments here. A downside to be honest about: the supply is limited (21 transactions in a year), so if you find something, you need to act quickly. Prefer to rent first to get to know the neighbourhood?
