Living in Literatuurwijk Noordwest, Almere

Literatuurwijk Noordwest is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood recognisable by its wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes and a remarkably high rate of homeownership. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s and 1990s, which is reflected in the architecture: terraced houses and semi-detached houses with spacious gardens, occasionally a detached house, and streets named after writers and literary figures, giving the neighbourhood its name. The homes are solidly built but require modernisation here and there, especially regarding energy performance. The average gas consumption of 40 m³ is remarkably low and indicates that some residents have already invested in insulation or alternative heating.

The atmosphere is quiet and family-oriented. The largest age group is 45- to 65-year-olds, and 42% of residents are married. Families with children are the most common household type. You notice this in the neighbourhood itself: there is little nuisance, children play outside, and social cohesion is relatively strong. Living in Literatuurwijk Noordwest does not feel anonymous.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Literatuurwijk shopping centre, a short bike ride away, offers a supermarket and various shops for daily necessities. For a larger selection, the city centre of Almere Stad is accessible via the Hogering or by bike in fifteen minutes. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity, and there are playgrounds and green play areas scattered throughout the neighbourhood. Sports clubs in the area offer football, tennis and other sports.

In terms of accessibility, the location is favourable. By car, the A6 is quickly reachable, allowing you to drive to Amsterdam in about 25 minutes. Almere Centrum station is accessible by bike in about ten minutes, from where intercity trains run to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Lelystad. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the station and other districts. Those who commute daily to the Randstad find this a realistic option, although the neighbourhood itself is clearly car- and bike-oriented.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and green appearance of the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "It is quiet and clear here, neighbours know each other and children can play outside safely." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood and the fact that you still need the car for a wider range.
