Living in Van den Broek-erf and surroundings, Dordrecht
Van den Broek-erf and surroundings is located in the Stadspolders district, on the western edge of Dordrecht. The neighbourhood has a quiet, residential character that suits the profile of the residents well: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, more than half of the households are married, and families with children are the most common household type. It is not a neighbourhood where you expect much street life in the evening, but also not a neighbourhood where you feel unsafe. Residents rate safety at 8.0, the highest sub-score of all.
The homes largely date from the 1980s and 1990s, when Stadspolders was built as an expansion district. You will mainly find semi-detached and detached homes on spacious plots, which explains the higher sale prices. The streets are wide, there is plenty of parking space, and the gardens are generally well-maintained. The name 'Van den Broek-erf' refers to the erfverkaveling (plot allocation) typical of this part of Stadspolders, with residential yards and quiet lanes.
For daily shopping, you can go to Amstelwijck shopping centre, a short bike ride away. For a larger selection, Sterrenburg shopping centre or the city centre of Dordrecht are the logical choices. Accessibility by car is good: via the Randweg and the connection to the A16, you are quickly on the motorway towards Rotterdam or Breda. By bus, you can reach the centre of Dordrecht and Dordrecht station via various lines, where intercity trains run towards Rotterdam and Utrecht. Residents give accessibility a 7.0, which is reasonable but indicates that for many destinations you still need the car or bike.
In terms of green space, the neighbourhood scores a 6.0 and amenities a 6.0. These are the weakest points according to residents. There is greenery in the form of park strips and the nearby Wantijpark, but a distinct park directly in the neighbourhood is lacking. Schools score remarkably high with a 9.0. Several primary schools are located in the area, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for young families.
A resident succinctly describes the atmosphere as "Quiet and Cosy" and writes: "in the few years we've lived here nothing has happened and it's otherwise quite quiet here."
