Living in Smitsweg, Dordrecht
Smitsweg is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of Dordrecht, part of the district Sterrenburg. The neighbourhood consists largely of spacious family homes and a limited number of apartments, predominantly built from the 1980s and 1990s. The streets are wide, there is plenty of public greenery and the homes generally have large gardens. The streetscape is well-maintained and quiet, which is also reflected in resident scores: greenery scores 9.5, and safety and community both score 9.0.
Resident Marianne Leijdsman describes it as follows: "Wilgenwende a beautiful neighbourhood with owner-occupied homes for young and old. The neighbourhood is green and below us a large daycare centre. You can also enjoy lovely walks and you are quickly in the Dordtse Biesbosch, which is great for cycling." That proximity to the Biesbosch is one of the real assets of this neighbourhood. Cyclists and walkers can reach the national park in a quarter of an hour.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is self-sufficient but not abundant. There is a daycare centre in the neighbourhood itself, and primary schools are within cycling distance. For daily shopping, you quickly drive to the Sterrenburg shopping centre, which is a few minutes away. Residents give amenities a 6.0, the lowest sub-score, indicating that you still need to take the car or bike for a wider range of shops. A food market or neighbourhood supermarket is currently lacking, something Marianne Leijdsman also points out in her review.
Accessibility scores 7.5. By car, you are quickly on the motorway via the N3 and A16 towards Rotterdam or Breda. The centre of Dordrecht can be reached in about ten minutes. Dordrecht station is accessible by bus, although the neighbourhood is not the most public transport-friendly in the city. If you travel by public transport daily, it is advisable to check the bus connections in advance via the municipality of Dordrecht.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Sterrenburg 1-West and Sterrenburg 1-Oost, the price level in Smitsweg is clearly higher. If you are looking for a bit more urban dynamism, you could also look at Waterman en omgeving or further afield to the Binnenstad of Dordrecht. Smitsweg has its own character: greener, quieter and more exclusive than most other neighbourhoods in the district. More neighbourhood data and all resident reviews can be found on the information page of Smitsweg.

First-time buyers almost always miss out here: with purchase prices from €539,000 and an average of over €914,000, buying a home in Smitsweg without substantial equity or a high income is hardly feasible. Movers who are moving up from another Dordrecht neighbourhood, or people coming from another region, are the most realistic buyers here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in an apartment that is completely our thing, surrounded by beautiful houses of all classes. The neighbourhood is green and below us there is a large daycare centre. You can also enjoy lovely walks and you are quickly in the Dordtse Biesbos, which is great for cycling. There is still a lack of a food market shop, but the Sterrenburg shopping centre is nearby. The neighbourhood is well maintained and looks tidy. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has only one through road, but they are thinking about a second access.
