Living in Spaland and Sveaparken: a holiday feeling on the edge of the city
Those who live in Spaland and Sveaparken live in one of the quieter and greener corners of Schiedam. The neighbourhood is made up of various districts, each with its own character, from the family-oriented De Akkers to the water-rich surroundings of Sveaborg and Sveadal. Resident Mirthe Wagenaar puts it aptly in her review on the neighbourhood page of Spaland and Sveaparken: "I've been living here for a while and I always feel like I'm on holiday." The neighbourhood scores an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for safety (8.5), accessibility (8.5) and education (8.8). Residents appreciate the peace and cleanliness of the streets, although there is also honest criticism: Gabriëlle writes that it is clean, but that it could be better near the ditch due to nuisance from swan droppings. A minor annoyance, but it says something about how seriously residents take their living environment.
You hardly need to leave the neighbourhood for amenities. There are primary schools within easy reach, which explains the high education score. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets nearby, and the shops in the nearby centre of Schiedam are within cycling distance. There is plenty of green space: the neighbourhood borders polder area and has ditches, parks and playgrounds scattered throughout the area. Districts such as De Velden and De Vlinderhoven have a distinctly green character with spacious gardens and quiet streets. Sports clubs for football, tennis and other sports are present in and around the neighbourhood.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores highly, and rightly so. Via the A20 you are quickly on the motorway towards Rotterdam or The Hague. By bus you can reach Schiedam Centrum or Schiedam Nieuwland station, from where trains run to Rotterdam Centraal in about ten minutes. For those who commute daily to Rotterdam or the region, this is a strong point. The neighbourhood therefore attracts many families and people aged 45 to 65 who consciously choose peace and good connections.
