Living in Parkwijk Noordwest, Almere

Parkwijk Noordwest is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the western part of the Parkwijk district in Almere Stad. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s, which is reflected in the architecture: predominantly semi-detached houses, detached homes and terraced houses with spacious gardens and wide streets. The building style is typical of that Almere generation: functional, with plenty of greenery in between and space for the car. Not spectacular, but pleasant to live in.
