Centrum Stad Zuidoost, Almere

At 123 m², it's a good 28% larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, which is a real bonus. The price of €465,000 is on the high side compared to the local average, but you're paying for that extra space and a central location. For context, apartments in Almere vary widely, so this one stands out.
The neighbourhood Centrum Stad Zuidoost is a dense, urban area with a mix of residents. One resident describes it as a "Nice couple of angry neighbours" but also recounts a serious incident involving a weapon and a shooting, adding that "it is unsafe and there are rats." That's just one review, so take it as a single perspective. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2364 per km²), and most homes are apartments. It's a young area, with many residents aged 25-45.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: OSG Echnaton (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool het Samenspel is about the same. The municipality Almere offers plenty of amenities, with a supermarket, GP, and train station all within a ten-minute walk.

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.
