Living in Kustwijk: lots of green, little small talk at the front door
On the neighbourhood page of Kustwijk, residents rate their area 7.2 out of 10 based on 12 reviews. The highest scores go to green spaces (8.5) and safety (8.1), and you notice that when you walk around. There is plenty of space, wide tree-lined avenues, and the proximity of the Markermeer and the Hollandse Hout completes the green feeling. The homes score 7.9 on quality, which fits the relatively young housing stock with much construction from the 1990s and later.
Yet there is a clear downside. Several residents mention the lack of social contact. Caroline writes: "Everyone for themselves, no sense of community in the neighbourhood" and calls the area "impersonal" with "little solidarity". The score for community (6.3) confirms that picture. If you are looking for a close-knit street community, you should know that Kustwijk is not known for that. Resident Jan qualifies it: "It is a quiet and good neighbourhood, but there are definitely some points for improvement. Especially education and schools in the area." That criticism of education (score 6.7) comes up more often. There is a primary school in the neighbourhood, but a secondary school is lacking. Children have to go to the centre of Lelystad for that. Resident Nook puts it sharply: "There is simply too little good education in the area."
In terms of amenities, you will find a small supermarket and some shops along the Karveel in the neighbourhood, but for a larger grocery shop you go to Batavia Stad shopping centre or the centre. Accessibility scores 6.8. Lelystad Centrum station is about ten minutes away by car or bus (lines 3 and 148 run through the neighbourhood), and via the A6 you are in Almere or Harderwijk in just over half an hour. Commuting to Amsterdam takes about an hour by train. The neighbourhoods Punter and Boeier are more centrally located and have slightly better bus connections. A point of annoyance: due to the removal of litter bins and the proximity of a school, litter has increased in some places, according to residents. The cleanliness score of 6.5 reflects that. More information about the municipal plans for the neighbourhood can be found on the website of the municipality of Lelystad.
