Living in Emmeloord: down-to-earth, green and with short lines
Emmeloord is the main town of the Noordoostpolder and you can tell. It is not a village, but not a city either. With over 27,000 residents, it has enough amenities to have everything you need on a daily basis, without the hustle and bustle of a big city. Residents on Buurtje.nl rate the neighbourhood an 8.2 out of 10, based on 11 reviews. The perception of greenery (8.6) and safety (8.4) score notably high. Resident C. Merjenburgh describes it aptly: "You can park your boat in the harbour without paying mooring fees and you can walk straight into the park." That typifies Emmeloord well: water and parks are never far away. On the neighbourhood page of Emmeloord you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood data.
In terms of amenities, much revolves around the centre around De Deel, the covered shopping centre where you will find Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Aldi and various specialist shops. There are several primary schools spread across the neighbourhoods, including schools in Revelsant-Noord and the Espelervaart neighbourhoods. For secondary education, there is Zuyderzee Lyceum on Smedinghuis. For sports, you can go to football club SC Emmeloord, swimming pool De Waterwyck and tennis park De Deel. The new-build neighbourhood Emmelhage Waterwonen/Polderwonen mainly attracts young families who want more space, while the centre between Gracht and Vaart is popular with people who want everything within walking distance.
Accessibility is an honest point of attention. Emmeloord does not have a train station. You rely on the bus (line 141 towards Zwolle, about 50 minutes) or the car via the A6, which gets you to Lelystad in half an hour and to Zwolle in three-quarters of an hour. Resident Quinten (9.3/10) sums up the atmosphere: "Everyone does their own thing but greets you pleasantly." Several residents mention the increasing diversity in the neighbourhood. Nelson Ospina notes that the language barrier sometimes grows, while others appreciate the multicultural composition. More information about municipal plans and facilities can be found on the website of the municipality of Noordoostpolder.
