Living in Regenboogbuurt Noord en Oost, Almere
Regenboogbuurt Noord en Oost is a compact, predominantly ground-based residential neighbourhood in the Almere Stad district. The neighbourhood has a distinct working-class character: terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1980s and 1990s dominate the streetscape, interspersed with the occasional apartment complex. The streets are quiet and orderly, greenery is present without it being a park-like villa district. Resident E.B.

That sense of mutual involvement is something you encounter less often in new-build neighbourhoods elsewhere in Almere.

There are relatively few seniors (170 people over 65), giving the neighbourhood an active, youthful feel.
