The neighbourhood consists mainly of single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s, with spacious plots, wide streets and plenty of greenery between the houses. The names Saerdam, Vliegend Hert and Fortuijn refer to historic ships, a reference that fits the maritime identity of Lelystad as a former polder municipality.
