Living in Bedrijventerrein Gietersplaats, Almere
The name says it all: Bedrijventerrein Gietersplaats is essentially not a residential neighbourhood in the traditional sense. It is a mixed area in the Waterwijk of Almere, where business space and living coexist. With only 30 residents, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Almere. This gives the neighbourhood a very unique atmosphere: quiet, anonymous and functional. There is little social cohesion in the classic neighbourhood sense, but also little nuisance from neighbours. Those who live here consciously choose space, privacy and an unconventional living situation.
The homes available for rent here are therefore not standard rental houses. They are often large, sometimes former business premises converted into living space, or live-work units. The average rented floor area of 569 m² speaks volumes. Renting an apartment in Bedrijventerrein Gietersplaats often means choosing a unique, spacious property with an industrial or creative look. This attracts a specific audience: people who are not looking for a standard terraced house, but for something unique.
