Living in Noorderplassen West-Oost

Noorderplassen West-Oost is a relatively young neighbourhood built around the start of the 2000s on the north side of Almere Stad. The area lies between the Noorderplassen area and the Buitenring (A27/A6 side), creating a striking contrast: on one side you look out over open water and reed beds, on the other you can hear traffic on the motorway at busy times. The architecture is varied, with clusters of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a handful of detached homes. Most homes have spacious gardens and there is relatively ample parking on private property.

With 2,220 residents, it is a manageable neighbourhood where you quickly get to know your neighbours. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (660 people) and households with children form the majority (450 of the households). You notice this: during the day you see pushchairs and cargo bikes, in the afternoon children play outside. The average income of €50,300 is well above the Almere average of €38,200, and 35% of residents are highly educated.

In terms of amenities, you have to be honest: in the neighbourhood itself, the offering is limited. The resident reviews on the neighbourhood page of Noorderplassen West-Oost confirm this. The score for amenities is only 1 out of 10. For your daily shopping, you rely on supermarkets in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Noorderplassen West-Noord or the Almere Stad shopping centre. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the wider Noorderplassen district.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores excellently: a 9 from residents. Almere Centrum station is within cycling distance (about 10 minutes), and via the Buitenring and the A6 you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or Lelystad. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with Almere Centrum and Almere Poort. The combination of this good accessibility with the green, watery character makes it a popular place for commuters who want peace after a working day in the Randstad.

Residents appreciate the greenery (7 out of 10) and the quality of the homes (8 out of 10). One resident writes: "The homes are spacious and modern, and the view over the Noorderplassen is fantastic, but for a shopping trip you always have to take the car." That sums up the neighbourhood well: nice to live in, but you are dependent on transport for almost all amenities. If you compare Noorderplassen West-Oost with neighbouring areas such as Noorderplassen West-West or Noorderplassen Oost, you see similar living styles but subtle differences in price level and location relative to the water. Gas consumption in the neighbourhood is notably low (30 m³), indicating that many homes run on district heating or heat pumps.
