Living in Oostvaardersbuurt Noord, Almere

Anyone visiting Oostvaardersbuurt Noord for the first time is immediately struck by how quiet and green it is here. The neighbourhood borders the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve and has an open, almost rural character that you find in few other Almere neighbourhoods. The housing mainly consists of spacious single-family homes, detached houses and semi-detached houses, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s. Narrow streets with wide pavements, lots of greenery and hardly any high-rise buildings give the neighbourhood a peaceful appearance. Buying an apartment in Oostvaardersbuurt Noord is therefore not the most obvious choice: the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is self-sufficient enough for daily life. Kruidenwijk shopping centre is a short bike ride away and offers a supermarket, chemist and various other daily necessities. For a larger range of shops, you can drive to the centre of Almere Stad, about ten minutes by car. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity, making the neighbourhood attractive for families with young children. Residents are also well catered for in terms of sports: in the surrounding neighbourhoods, football and tennis clubs are active, and Almeerderstrand is accessible by bike for recreation along the water.

Accessibility by car is good thanks to the proximity of the A6, which connects Almere with Amsterdam and Lelystad. Almere Centrum station can be reached by bike or bus in about ten to fifteen minutes. Bus services run regularly through the neighbourhood, although in practice residents are heavily dependent on the car. This is a point that sometimes comes up in resident reviews: the neighbourhood feels somewhat isolated for those without a car.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and safety of the neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page for Oostvaardersbuurt Noord you can read all reviews and scores per category. One resident describes it as follows: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children just play outside on the street. But for a night out, you really have to take the car."
