Living in Noorderplassen West-Zuid: water-rich and spacious layout

Noorderplassen West-Zuid is a relatively young residential neighbourhood, largely built in the 2000s and 2010s, on the south side of the Noorderplassen area. The first thing you notice when walking around here is the spacious layout. Wide avenues, lots of water and green verges give the neighbourhood an open character that you won't quickly find in older parts of Almere. The architecture is varied: from modern semi-detached homes to detached houses with private jetties on the water. It's not a neighbourhood where there's much hustle and bustle on the streets in the evening. Residents describe the atmosphere as quiet, green and child-friendly.

The neighbourhood has around 2,215 residents. The largest group is 25 to 45 years old (685 people) and there are many families with children (435 households). You notice this in the facilities in the immediate vicinity. De Poolster primary school is within walking distance and for secondary education there are schools in Almere Stad. You can do your daily shopping at the supermarkets on Marktplein in Noorderplassen, a few minutes away by bike. For a larger range of shops, you go to Almere Stad shopping centre or Almere Centrum, both within ten minutes by car.

In terms of accessibility, you're reasonably well off. Almere Centrum station is about ten minutes away by bike or bus. The A6 is quickly accessible via the Hogering, which suits commuters heading to Amsterdam or Het Gooi. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the city centre and the station. There are plenty of cycle paths, typical of Almere. What residents do mention as a downside is that you still have to leave the neighbourhood for many facilities. "Everything is there, but just not around the corner," wrote a resident in a review. That is honestly typical for this part of Almere: you have space and peace, but you are dependent on a bike or car.

Compared to the other neighbourhoods in the district, Noorderplassen West-Zuid is slightly more accessible in terms of price. In Noorderplassen Oost and Noorderplassen West-West, the WOZ values and sale prices are generally higher, partly due to more detached homes on the water. Noorderplassen West-Noord is similar in layout but has a slightly different street profile.
