Centrum Stad Zuidoost, Almere
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on De Diagonaal sits right in the middle of Almere Stad, with a lively mix of shops, restaurants and public spaces on your doorstep. At 132 m², it's a good 38% larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, which makes it stand out. The price of €485,000 is on the high side compared to the local average of €395,000, but you're paying for that extra space and an A+ energy label. For context, apartments in Almere vary widely, so this one is definitely at the top end.
Centrum Stad Zuidoost is a compact, urban pocket with around 655 residents. It's densely built up, the address density is 2,364 per km², so you're never far from the action. Most homes are apartments, and nearly half are owner-occupied. One resident describes it as a "Nice couple of angry neighbours", adding: "Well, I've lived there for a very long time, but a lot of people come upstairs who walk around. There was once a boy who came with a weapon and started shooting at us while we were playing outside, and my old neighbour who lives next to me was shot dead, so it is unsafe and there are rats." That's a single review, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Centrum Stad Zuidoost has a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair number of single-person households.
For daily groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Aldi are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool het Samenspel and Openbare Basisschool Polygoon, both about a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, OSG Echnaton is also a ten-minute walk. The train station is a five-minute walk, and the municipality Almere offers plenty of green spaces and recreational options nearby.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including De 4 Linden Makelaardij. The listing is available on multiple platforms, so you can compare details across them.
