Nice

I've been living in this neighbourhood for about 7 years now. Where I live specifically, there are many elderly people. They like to chat and the atmosphere is always pleasant! It's fairly quiet and looks nice, with a kind of Swedish-style houses. When you drive in, it feels a bit like a holiday park. I hope to live here for many more years (:

Cosy and everyone knows each other

It's a cosy neighbourhood where everyone knows each other and helps each other. It's just a shame that there isn't enough special education in Almere.

Quiet neighbourhood

We've been living here for 15 years now. And to this day, still no regrets. Quiet neighbourhood. No through traffic. Neighbours know each other. Lots of green. We live in a courtyard which is really ideal. Especially if you have small children.
