Families with children are the most common household type, and you notice this in the daily atmosphere: quiet during the day, lively in the afternoon when schools let out.

Residents particularly appreciate the green surroundings and the tranquillity, but also note drawbacks regarding the shopping facilities and accessibility by public transport.

Almere Haven shopping centre offers daily amenities such as a supermarket, pharmacy, and a few shops, but for a full shopping centre you drive on to Almere Centrum. Children in the area can attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity of the neighbourhood.
