About J.T.P. Bijhouwerhof 55, Almere
The asking price is €325,000, while the WOZ value is €289,000 as of 1 January 2025. That means the asking price is 12% above the WOZ value. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the market value, so the difference is a fact to consider.
According to the agent, the apartment has three rooms: two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on one floor. The living area is listed as 71 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 73 m². There is a balcony, and the property is in full ownership.
The energy label is B. This is an efficient label, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to less efficient homes. The agent also states that the home is fully insulated, which contributes to keeping the home warm in winter and cool in summer.
The monthly homeowners' association fee is €182. This fee is used for the maintenance of shared areas and the building as a whole.

Neighbour keeps throwing rubbish in my front garden. Bad neighbour and neighbour's wife never help each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's always cosy here; we have a group chat in the neighbourhood where we talk together when something happens in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life and have little to complain about; not all neighbours are equally nice, but it has always been a pleasant neighbourhood. Playground, shops, schools, everything is nearby. I always enjoyed it here as a child too. There are occasionally some things that are less good, but compared to most neighbourhoods, I don't think it's severe. 3 minutes' walk to the forest and schools, 5 minutes to Lidl. People do throw a lot of rubbish on the ground, but unfortunately this is the case everywhere...
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has deteriorated a lot in recent years, a lot of rubbish on the street. Noise, fireworks, you name it. I still live here but would rather move if I could. I don't feel very unsafe during the day, but in the evening I prefer not to go outside.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Bouwmeesterbuurt my whole life and have always found it a very pleasant neighbourhood. When I was younger, there were always children to play with and a playground. There are many schools nearby and a few shops etc. very close! It's easily accessible in many ways (car, bike, bus) and I've never really felt unsafe here!

How residents experience their municipality
We lived here very pleasantly for 23 years and because our house became too big for us, given our age, we bought a smaller home. This neighbourhood is characterised by a number of favourable factors: little turnover of residents, people are quite neighbourhood-minded and have excellent contacts with each other. Helpful, annual neighbourhood BBQ, quiet surroundings with plenty of greenery. Schools within walking distance, station and buses likewise as well as shops. Within five minutes you are on the motorway and with the A6 and A27 around the corner you can reach all directions. If someone were to ask me whether it's nice to live here, I would answer without hesitation with a firm YES.
