Living in Bouwmeesterbuurt Noord, Almere
Bouwmeesterbuurt Noord is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood built in the 1980s and 1990s as part of Almere's rapid expansion. The district bears the recognisable stamp of that period: wide streets, spacious gardens, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a clear, planned layout. It is mainly terraced houses and semi-detached houses that define the streetscape, with the occasional detached house in the more expensive segments.
The neighbourhood particularly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65. Of the 1,790 residents, the largest group belongs to that middle generation, and 44% of households are married. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is not a bustling, urban environment, but a place where people have put down roots. Thirza, a resident who has lived there her whole life, describes it as a "nice neighbourhood" and specifically mentions what makes it so: a playground, shops and schools all within walking distance. That practical convenience is perhaps the neighbourhood's greatest asset. For all reviews and neighbourhood data, you can visit the page of Bouwmeesterbuurt Noord.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-equipped for daily use. Shopping centre Bouwmeesterplein is a short bike ride away and offers supermarket options and smaller shops.

Primary schools are present in and directly around the neighbourhood, which explains the education score (7.3). The greenery also scores well (7.7): the neighbourhood borders green strips and the nearby Polderpark, and Sportpark Polderkwartier en Polderpark is also in the immediate vicinity.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points, with a score of 8.0. Almere Centrum station is easily reachable by bike or bus, and via the A6 you quickly get onto the motorway towards Amsterdam or Utrecht. Bus connections from the neighbourhood run regularly to Almere city centre.

I've lived here my whole life and have little to complain about; not all neighbours are equally nice, but it has always been a pleasant neighbourhood. Playground, shops, schools, everything is nearby. I always enjoyed it here as a child too. There are occasionally some things that are less good, but compared to most neighbourhoods, I don't think it's severe. 3 minutes' walk to the forest and schools, 5 minutes to Lidl. People do throw a lot of rubbish on the ground, but unfortunately this is the case everywhere...
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has deteriorated a lot in recent years, a lot of rubbish on the street. Noise, fireworks, you name it. I still live here but would rather move if I could. I don't feel very unsafe during the day, but in the evening I prefer not to go outside.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Bouwmeesterbuurt my whole life and have always found it a very pleasant neighbourhood. When I was younger, there were always children to play with and a playground. There are many schools nearby and a few shops etc. very close! It's easily accessible in many ways (car, bike, bus) and I've never really felt unsafe here!
