The Hortus neighbourhood
Hortus is a small, quiet neighbourhood with around 245 residents, and it has a distinctly mature character: nearly half of the residents are 65 or older. The homes here are all apartments, and the area has a low urban density, so it feels spacious and green. There are no resident reviews available yet, so this picture is based purely on the figures. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Almere, which is known for its planned layout and green spaces.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Vomar supermarket is just around the corner, about a ten-minute walk away, with an Albert Heijn a bit further on. There are several schools within easy reach, including the Openbare Basisschool Caleidoscoop and the Openbare Scholengemeenschap Echnaton, both roughly a ten-minute walk. A restaurant is close by, and the nearest park is also within walking distance, so there is a decent balance of convenience and greenery.

Frequently asked questions
About Melica 330, Almere
Was €1,215 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,215 was exactly the average for rental apartments in the Hortus neighbourhood, based on the single comparable listing at the time available. With 68 m² of floor space, that worked out to about €17.85 per m², which was a typical rate for the area. Given the modern build year and the A+ energy label, the price sat in line with what the market asked here.
What does the A+ energy label mean for this home?
An A+ label is the most efficient category on the Dutch energy scale, which means the home is designed to use very little energy for heating and hot water. This is an official registration recorded in the national energy label database.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.3 km from the apartment. That is a manageable distance if you commute by rail, though it is not within immediate walking distance. You would likely cycle or take a short drive to the station, or use local bus connections if available. The exact travel time depends on your route and mode of transport.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
Hortus is a small neighbourhood with about 245 residents, and it has a notably older population: 47% are aged 65 or over, while only 4% are under 15. Households are mostly single people or couples without children, each making up 44% of the total. This creates a quiet, settled atmosphere rather than a family-oriented one, which suits those looking for peace and calm.
What amenities are within walking distance?
The Vomar supermarket is about 1.1 km away, roughly a ten-minute walk, and there are two Albert Heijn stores within about 1.6 km. For schools, the Openbare Basisschool Caleidoscoop is just under a kilometre away, and the secondary school Echnaton is about 1.1 km. A restaurant is only 0.7 km away, and the nearest park is 0.8 km, so daily needs are well covered.
How did the rent compare to other rentals in the area?
In the Hortus neighbourhood, there is currently only one rental apartment available, and this is it. The average rent for that single listing was €1,215, which matched this home's price exactly. Over the past period, four rentals were let in the area, with an average listing time of 24 days. This suggests a steady but not rushed rental market here.
