Living in Parkwijk Zuidwest, Almere
Parkwijk Zuidwest is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of the Parkwijk district in Almere Stad.

The streets are wide, the gardens large, and traffic is limited. It is a neighbourhood where you hear the car and not the neighbours.

Most households are without children (110), and 56% are married. Living in Parkwijk Zuidwest suits people who value peace, space and privacy.
