The streetscape is well-maintained, and the homes are generally in good condition.
For daily shopping, most residents drive or cycle to the nearby Kruidenwijk shopping centre or the larger De Markt shopping centre in Almere Stad. There are no large supermarkets in the neighbourhood itself, but primary schools are within cycling distance, which is a practical advantage for families. Sports facilities such as football fields and tennis courts can be found in the surrounding districts, and the Weerwater with its recreational area is easily accessible for those who want to walk or cycle.

One resident writes: "You live here quietly, the neighbours know each other, and the children just play outside on the street. You don't find that everywhere anymore." Recurring criticisms are the limited walking distance to amenities and the lack of a local community centre or catering establishment. If you want to do everything by bike daily, you will notice that there are a few extra kilometres involved.
