Rental prices and market figures for Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6, Almere
Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 is officially classified by the CBS as a neighbourhood within the district De Vaart, but as the name suggests, this is primarily a business park, not a residential area. The housing stock officially comprises 6 residential units, with both the rental and ownership percentages standing at 0%. There is no registered housing association property and no private-sector rentals via housing associations. Yet the transaction figures over the past 12 months show something striking: in the private sector (excluding social housing and excluding rooms), 4 properties were rented out at an average rent of €4,391 per month. The range runs from €545 to €15,000 per month, with an average floor area of 770 m². This results in an average rent of approximately €5.70 per m² per month. These are not regular rental homes but presumably commercial spaces with a residential component, lofts or atypical properties. By comparison, the average WOZ value in the wider De Vaart district is €258,000, while the municipal average for Almere stands at €363,000. For current available rental properties and the most recent average rent, please refer to the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6, Almere
Living in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 is for a very specific type of tenant. This is not a neighbourhood where you will find an average terraced house or apartment. De Vaart is the oldest and largest business park in Almere, located in the Almere Haven district, and sub-areas 4-6 form the heart of this industrial area along the Lage Vaartpad and the surrounding plots. Anyone renting a home here does so deliberately: there is space and peace, but urban vibrancy must be sought elsewhere.
Atmosphere and character
The atmosphere is industrial and functional. Large sheds, business premises, storage halls and occasionally a studio or workshop with living space define the streetscape. It is quiet in the evenings and at weekends when businesses are closed. For people who want to combine working and living in the same location, or who are looking for a loft or work-home with plenty of square metres, this can be attractive. For families with children or people who need a lively living environment, this address is less suitable.
Facilities
Direct facilities such as supermarkets, schools or sports facilities are not present in the neighbourhood itself. The nearest shopping centre is the Stadshart of Almere Haven, a few kilometres away. For daily groceries, you can go to Albert Heijn or Lidl in Almere Haven. Primary schools in the area can be found in the adjacent residential neighbourhoods of De Vaart. Sports clubs and recreational areas such as the Weerwater and the Noorderplassen are within cycling distance, but are located outside the business park itself. There is hardly any catering in the immediate vicinity, apart from the occasional company canteen.
Accessibility
Accessibility by car is excellent. The business park connects directly to the N702 and via the A6 you are on the motorway towards Amsterdam or Lelystad within ten minutes. Almere Haven station is about two kilometres away, from where you can reach Amsterdam Central by train in about 25 minutes. Bus services run along the edges of the site, but the frequency is limited and not ideal for daily commuting without a car. Parking on the site itself is usually not a problem: there is ample parking space and no permit requirement. Cycling to the centre of Almere Haven takes about ten minutes via the cycle paths along the Lage Vaartpad.
On the neighbourhood page of Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 you will find resident reviews, neighbourhood scores and additional district data. The neighbourhood officially has 10 residents, half of whom fall into the 25-45 age group and the other half are 65 or older. This indicates a very specific, small resident group, presumably people living on or directly next to their business. Rental properties in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 are therefore fundamentally different from the regular rental housing supply in the rest of Almere. The neighbouring Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 1-3 has a similar character and is interesting to compare if you are looking for a work-home or business premises with a residential component in the same area.
Who is a rental property in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 interesting for?
Renting in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 is particularly interesting for self-employed entrepreneurs, craftspeople or creative professionals who want to combine living and working in a large location with plenty of space. The average rented floor area of 770 m² makes it clear that these are not compact city apartments. Renting an apartment in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 in the traditional sense is hardly an option. If you want a regular rental home in a residential area, neighbourhoods such as De Hoven or De Meenten are more suitable alternatives. Be honest with yourself: without a car, living on this business park is difficult, and private-sector rents are high. Also check out the owner-occupied properties in Bedrijventerrein De Vaart 4-6 if you are considering buying instead of renting. Social rental properties are not available here; registering with housing association Ymere or De Alliantie is of little use for this specific neighbourhood.
