Living in Nobelhorst West: a young new-build neighbourhood in development

Nobelhorst West is one of the newest residential areas in Almere. The first homes here were only completed in the second half of the 2010s, and construction is still ongoing on some plots. You notice that immediately when you cycle through the neighbourhood: sleek facades, modern architecture, wide streets and still young trees that will only really provide shade in a few years. It is a neighbourhood that literally still has to grow.

The population composition confirms that picture. Of the 2,405 residents, the largest group (895 people) falls in the 25 to 45 age category. There are 760 children under 15, and with 520 households with children, this is clearly a family neighbourhood. The education level is relatively high: 41% are highly educated, and the average income of €45,900 is well above the Almere average of €38,200.

In terms of amenities, Nobelhorst West is still under construction. There is a primary school in the neighbourhood and in the wider district Nobelhorst there are plans for more educational and shopping facilities. For daily groceries, residents are currently still dependent on supermarkets in adjacent neighbourhoods, such as De Werven or towards Almere Hout. For some residents, that is a drawback. The partial score for amenities stands at 5.0 out of 10, and the score for sense of community (5.0) also shows that social cohesion still needs to grow in this young neighbourhood.

What residents are satisfied with, however, is accessibility: it scores an 8.0. Via the A6 you are quickly on the A27 towards Utrecht or on the A1 to Amsterdam. Almere Centrum station can be reached by car in a quarter of an hour, and buses run through the neighbourhood. The greenery in and around the neighbourhood scores a 7.0, which fits: spacious green zones and water features have been created, and the rural area of Almere Hout is within cycling distance.

The overall resident rating comes out at 6.0, based on 1 review. That is not high, but it is also just one opinion. The reviewer gives safety a 4.0, which stands out. "The neighbourhood is so new that there is little social control in the evenings on streets where not all plots have been built on yet," the review summarises. At the same time, the same resident appreciates education (7.0) and greenery (7.0). Read more experiences on the page of Nobelhorst West and check if more reviews have been added in the meantime.

Compared to Nobelhorst Oost and the southern part of Nobelhorst, the western part is slightly further along in development, but the differences are small. All three neighbourhoods share the same new-build character. If you want to broaden the comparison, you can also look at De Hoven, a more established district in Almere with a different type of housing supply.

Does a home for sale in Nobelhorst West suit you?

Nobelhorst West mainly attracts dual-income earners and young families who want to live spaciously in an energy-efficient new-build home. The low gas consumption (760 m³) and electricity consumption (3,200 kWh) indicate good insulation and modern installations. That saves a lot on monthly housing costs. First-time buyers with a smaller budget will struggle here: with an entry price around €550,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. If you are looking for a more affordable alternative, you can look at rental homes in Nobelhorst West or at the broader supply in Almere. An honest drawback: the amenities lag behind the housing construction. If you are used to a complete shopping centre around the corner, that requires adjustment. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Almere.
