Buying a home in Verspreide bebouwing, Dordrecht.
Wijk 98 sits on Dordrecht's quieter eastern edge—a mix of detached homes and low-rise apartments spread across tree-lined streets, not a dense block of sameness. You'll find yourself near the Hollandse Biesbosch water landscape, which means cycling trips and rowing clubs are part of the neighbourhood rhythm. The people here tend to be families and professionals who've chosen space over central location, and the local shops along the main roads handle most daily needs without fuss. It's the kind of place where you know your road but aren't packed shoulder-to-shoulder.
