Since May 2006 I have lived in De Velden. Although I was initially extremely anti-Almere (I just chimed in with other ignorant people), I have come to appreciate Almere, and my neighbourhood in particular, more and more. Close to cities like Amsterdam and Amersfoort, with many facilities in various areas (health practices, schools, sports facilities) and especially lots of nature and water, I see Almere as an undervalued gem in the Randstad. De Velden turns out to be hugely popular as a neighbourhood, and even seems to be among the most beloved residential areas in Flevoland. That is not without reason, and I can - after almost twenty years here - only confirm that.
