Living in Parkwijk Zuidwest, Almere
Parkwijk Zuidwest is a quiet, green-dominated neighbourhood in the western part of the Parkwijk district, on the border with the Weerwater. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1980s, when Almere was still under construction. The homes are spacious, with deep gardens and wide streets. Detached and semi-detached houses give the neighbourhood a wide, almost suburban feel, without everything looking identical. The building density is low, and that is precisely what many residents appreciate here.
The greenery is a serious plus point. The neighbourhood borders park-like areas and the proximity of the Weerwater gives it an open, airy character. Residents can reach the water on foot or by bike quickly, which is noticeable in daily life. The Almeerderhout, Almere's large city park, is within cycling distance.
For daily shopping, most residents drive to the nearby Stedenwijk shopping centre or towards the centre of Almere Haven. There is no small supermarket within walking distance in the neighbourhood itself. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the neighbourhood's children, although the proportion of families with children is relatively limited: the largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (230 of the 600 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (135). This makes Parkwijk Zuidwest more of a neighbourhood for movers and older owners than for young families with children.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is heavily dependent on the car. The A6 is quickly reachable, making commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht quite feasible. Almere Centrum station is about a ten-minute drive away. Public transport is available via bus lines that connect Parkwijk with the city centre and the train station, but the frequency is limited compared to more centrally located neighbourhoods. Cyclists have good connections via the extensive cycle paths that are characteristic of Almere as a whole.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. One resident writes: "You really feel like you have space here, both in your home and on the street. It's quiet, the neighbours know each other, and yet you're in the centre within a quarter of an hour." Less positive are some residents about the limited shopping facilities within walking distance and the dependence on the car for daily shopping.

Who is a home for sale in Parkwijk Zuidwest interesting for?
This neighbourhood is best suited to movers and those aged 50 and over who consciously choose space, peace and a green living environment. The high average sale price of over €727,000 makes buying a home in Parkwijk Zuidwest almost unattainable for first-time buyers.

Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Do you have a more flexible budget or would you like to explore the neighbourhood first? Then take a look at the rental homes in Parkwijk Zuidwest as a temporary alternative. For broader orientation, homes for sale in Almere are also a good starting point.
