Living along the Wantij: water, greenery and a neighbourhood in transition
Staart lies on the southwestern side of Dordrecht, wedged between the Wantij river and the Merwede. Living in Staart means living within walking distance of the water, and you notice that daily. The walking route along the Wantij on Maasstraat is one of the most appreciated spots in the neighbourhood. Resident Brinkman describes it as a "beautiful walking area along the river", and other residents also mention the waterfront and nearby parks as strong points. On the neighbourhood page for Staart you can find all resident reviews and subscores per category. The overall resident score is 7.6 out of 10, with notably high scores for accessibility (8.5), greenery (8.2) and safety (8.0).
In terms of amenities, the situation is mixed. A supermarket and a primary school are within walking distance, which suits families with young children well. Education therefore scores an 8.0 in the resident rating. At the same time, there is criticism of the state of the community centre and the immediate surroundings: worn-out asphalt, a community centre that doesn't look fresh, and satellite dishes that don't improve the appearance. Resident Brinkman explicitly mentions this. The scores for amenities (6.8) and community (6.5) confirm that there is room for improvement in those areas. Alisha describes Staart as "a nice up-and-coming neighbourhood", suggesting that the area is developing but not yet fully up to speed.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. Staart is close to the A16 and N3, making Rotterdam and Breda quickly reachable. Within the municipality, you can drive to the centre of Dordrecht in a few minutes. Dordrecht station is accessible by bus, and from that station you can reach Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Within the neighbourhood, areas such as Merwedepolder-Oost and Amerstraat en omgeving are interesting if you want to explore further. Noorderkwartier also borders this part of the city and has a different housing character. Anyone considering buying in Staart would do well to also look at Oud Krispijn and Het Reeland as comparable neighbourhoods within Dordrecht. More information about living and life in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Dordrecht.

Social residents who are there for each other. The children have plenty of playgrounds, supermarket nearby and affordable homes. Few bad tenants so little nuisance. Nature and Wantij within a stone's throw. Couldn't be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful walking area along the river the Wantij on the Maasstraat. Supermarket and primary school within walking distance. The community centre with the adjacent playground looks shabby, especially because of the old pole with satellite dishes, and there is also a very outdated asphalt square next to the community centre, which gives a desolate impression when you first enter the neighbourhood. That is a shame and gives a wrong impression of the cosy and beautiful neighbourhood. The renovated houses in the adjacent Noorderkwartier are of a beautiful architectural style from the 1920s and 1930s. Most people still say hello to each other here, as if you live in a village, especially the older residents who like to chat create a cosy and friendly atmosphere.
