Living in Leemslagen Noord, Almelo
Leemslagen Noord is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the northwest side of Almelo, recognisable by its relatively compact streets with mainly ground-floor terraced houses and semi-detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s. The neighbourhood does not have a big-city allure, but that is not what residents choose it for. It is a place where people live who value peace and space over bustling amenities around the corner.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.4 out of 10, based on three reviews. Safety (8.7), green spaces (8.7) and amenities (8.7) score notably high. The latter is striking: despite its residential character, residents seem satisfied with what the neighbourhood offers in terms of daily shopping and services. The proximity of the Windmolenbroek shopping centre, within cycling distance, plays a role in this. For a wider range of shops, Almelo city centre is accessible via the Wierdensestraat or by bus.
Green spaces score highly, and that matches the image of the neighbourhood: there are small parks, grassy areas between the streets, and green zones in the immediate vicinity that give the neighbourhood a sense of openness. Parents with young children will appreciate the playgrounds in the district. Primary schools are located in the wider Windmolenbroek district; for secondary education, you are referred to facilities elsewhere in Almelo.
Accessibility scores slightly lower (6.7). Leemslagen Noord is easily accessible by car via the N36 towards the A35, giving you quick access to the motorway towards Hengelo or Almelo city centre. By bike, the city centre can be reached in a quarter of an hour. Public transport is functional but not exceptional; bus corridors connect the district to Almelo station, although this sometimes requires a transfer or some extra walking time.
The social atmosphere in the neighbourhood is predominantly positive, although the picture is not uniform. One resident describes it simply as "Social" and gives a 10, with the nuance "Cosy except for one person." Another resident writes more extensively about a specific situation on the street that disturbs the peace, which has led to a decision to move. Such individual situations can occur in any neighbourhood, but it is fair to mention that not everyone is equally positive. The beauty score (5.7) and education (6.3) are the weakest points according to residents. Beauty likely relates to the functional, unremarkable streetscape typical of neighbourhoods from that construction period.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Leemslagen Zuid and Leemslagen Oost, Leemslagen Noord has a similar character, but with a slightly different dynamic. Those looking for a quieter profile than the more urban Kanaalzijde or the slightly greener Zeven Bosjes may find what they are looking for here. More neighbourhood data, resident scores per category and all reviews can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Leemslagen Noord.
Who is buying in Leemslagen Noord interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts young families and first-time buyers, which is also visible in the demographic composition: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old. The affordable entry-level prices (from €185,000) make it attractive for first-time buyers looking for their first home in Almelo without sacrificing too much on living quality. Upsizers who want more space for the same budget as in more expensive districts also find something here. Seniors are less represented, although the quiet streets and the presence of green spaces are certainly a plus for those who have less need for city bustle. Keep in mind that supply is limited; on average, only nine homes are sold per year.
