Living in Stripheldenbuurt Noordwest, Almere
Stripheldenbuurt Noordwest is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the northwest side of the Stripheldenbuurt in Almere Buiten. The district was built in the 1980s and 1990s, characteristic of Almere's urban expansion of that period: spacious streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, predominantly ground-level terraced houses and semi-detached houses, with the occasional apartment complex. The street names refer to well-known comic characters and creators, giving the neighbourhood a recognisable identity. With nearly 1,000 residents, it is a small-scale neighbourhood where people know each other.
The population composition is diverse but clearly family-oriented: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (325 people), and households with children form the largest household group (175 of the 421 homes). You notice this in the atmosphere: quiet during the day, children playing outside after school, little nightlife or nuisance.
