Arestreet in streetview 2009 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Aresstraat+21,+1363+VJ+Alm... walk one step forward, and you time machine into 2021!

I think the architecture has more to do that every individual plot allowed owners their own design & development.

Very neat, thank you for posting that.

Almere still does quite a bit of that, for instance, it was the first municipality where they allowed 'tiny houses', though, truth be told what they are selling those for you might as well buy a normal house.

Are those the lofty peaks of Mt Almere in the background? Or just a huge pile of cow shit?

Definitely mount Almere.

The whole thing looks like a render to me on that picture.
