Living in Palissander and surroundings, Dordrecht
Palissander and surroundings is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the west of Dordrecht, part of the Stadspolders district. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s and consists mainly of single-family homes: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses. There are hardly any apartments, which gives the neighbourhood a distinct family character. The street names refer to tropical wood species, which reinforces the atmosphere of a thoughtfully designed residential area.
What really sets the neighbourhood apart is its location on the Wantij. Resident Julio Guapo describes it aptly: "With the Wantij around the corner and the adjacent green strip and Wantijdijk, the surroundings are beautiful." That Wantijdijk offers a green walking and cycling route that takes you to the centre of Dordrecht in a quarter of an hour. Children play in the several playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood, and the greenery between the homes is well maintained. The residents' rating for greenery is therefore a perfect 10 out of 10.
Within walking distance is a shopping centre where you can go for daily groceries, including a supermarket. For a larger range of shops or catering, the city centre of Dordrecht is easily accessible. By car, you can quickly reach the A16 via the Merwedestraat or Provincialeweg, which provides connections to Rotterdam and Breda. By bus, you can reach Dordrecht Centraal station via several lines, from which intercity trains run towards Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. By bike, the station can be reached in about twenty minutes. Julio Guapo rates the accessibility as good, although he notes a caveat regarding parking for visitors: that sometimes requires some patience.
The atmosphere in the neighbourhood is quiet and subdued. People know each other, but it is not a neighbourhood where everyone drops in on each other. The community score of 7 out of 10 fits that: pleasant without being intrusive. Safety scores an 8, which matches the image of a stable residential neighbourhood with little nuisance. The overall resident score comes out at 8.4 out of 10. More resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the page for Palissander and surroundings.

Pleasant living environment with a shopping centre within walking distance. Lots of playgrounds and plenty of greenery. With the wantij around the corner and the adjacent green strip and wantijdijk, the surroundings are beautiful. The area is easily accessible, although parking for visitors is always a bit more challenging. Charging the electric car is also hopeless, especially because many neighbours still park their petrol cars at charging points. An additional drawback in terms of accessibility is the limited number of access roads, which can make it difficult to get off the estate when there is occasional freight traffic. Moreover, the access roads into the area are extremely busy during rush hour. There is often litter in the playgrounds and fields, mainly due to loitering youths. In addition, many scooters drive very fast on the cycle paths and the loswalweg. On that latter road, cars also regularly drive very fast with loud music. Most houses would benefit from a fresh coat of paint or a pressure wash of the facade. They are not the greatest architectural masterpieces anyway, but the street scene is deteriorating further because of this. Neighbours are generally friendly, although you really only have contact with the neighbours in your immediate vicinity.
