Living in Noorderplassen West-Noord, Almere

Noorderplassen West-Noord is a relatively young neighbourhood on the west side of the Noorderplassen area in Almere Buiten. The neighbourhood was built in the 2000s and 2010s, with spacious plots, wide streets and plenty of greenery between the homes. They are almost exclusively ground-based homes: detached houses, semi-detached houses and a few terraced link houses. Buying an apartment in Noorderplassen West-Noord is therefore not a realistic option; the neighbourhood simply isn't designed for that.

Those who live here consciously choose peace and space. The immediate proximity of the Noorderplassen, a large recreational lake with beaches and water sports facilities, was a decisive reason for many residents to buy here. In the summer months, the beach at the Noorderplasmeer attracts many people, but the residential streets themselves remain remarkably quiet. The neighbourhood has a green, almost villa-like character, without feeling aloof.

For daily shopping, you rely on the nearby Buitenmere shopping centre, a few minutes' drive away. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and several specialist shops. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the families in the district, and there are quite a few of them: households with children form the largest group in the neighbourhood. The 25-45 age group is the most strongly represented, confirming the image of a young family neighbourhood.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is well connected by car via the A6 towards Amsterdam and Lelystad. By car, you can reach the centre of Amsterdam in about twenty minutes. Almere Buiten station is about a five to ten-minute bike ride away, from where you can travel by intercity towards Amsterdam Centraal or Utrecht. Bus connections run via the surrounding roads, but frankly, a car here is not a luxury but a practical necessity for those who commute daily.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and greenery. On the neighbourhood main page of Noorderplassen West-Noord you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You don't live in Almere here, you live next to the water and the city is also there." That feeling of space and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city is often mentioned. Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to amenities and the dependence on the car.

Compared to sister neighbourhood Noorderplassen West-Oost, this northern part is slightly quieter and has less through traffic. Noorderplassen West-Zuid is closer to the water and has a similar character, but sometimes with even larger plots. And Noorderplassen Oost has a slightly more compact layout. Those specifically looking for space and a private driveway are often in the right place in West-Noord.

Who is a home for sale in Noorderplassen West-Noord interesting for?

This neighbourhood best suits families looking for space, wanting their own garden and willing to pay a hefty price for it. With an average purchase price of over €871,000, this is not a starter or mover territory for those just taking their first step on the housing market. Here you are dealing with a market where overbidding is realistic and where supply is limited: only a handful of homes change hands per year. So be prepared to decide quickly and make a sharp bid. For those considering renting as an intermediate step, there is also a small supply of rental homes in Noorderplassen West-Noord, although that segment is limited at 11% of the stock.
