Living in Sveaborg and Sveadal, Schiedam

Sveaborg and Sveadal does not feel like a typical Schiedam neighbourhood. Anyone driving through it for the first time sees wide streets, spacious plots and plenty of greenery between the homes. The area was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s and consists mainly of detached houses, semi-detached houses and spacious corner houses. Flats are the exception here. That makes buying a flat in Sveaborg and Sveadal difficult, but for those looking for space and a private garden, the offering is actually interesting.

The atmosphere is quiet and residential. Resident Mirthe Wagenaar describes it aptly: "I always feel like I'm on holiday." That holiday feeling probably has to do with the space, the low building density and the presence of water and greenery in the immediate vicinity. The neighbourhood borders the Sveaparken, a green strip popular with walkers and runners. At the same time, it is not a neighbourhood where much happens: another resident writes that there is "not really much to do in the area", apart from the occasional person speeding through the street at night. That is the downside of the peace and quiet.
