Renting in Duin: spacious homes, but no low prices
Duin is one of the more expensive neighbourhoods within Almere. The average WOZ value is €523,000, well above the municipal average of €363,000, and this is reflected in the rental prices. In the free sector (excluding social housing), an average of €2,847 per month was paid for a rental home in Duin over the past year, with a range of €2,300 to €4,350 per month. The average rented home had an area of 132 m². These are annual averages based on 26 transactions. For current rental prices and availability, please consult the overview at the top of this page.
Of the 1,402 homes in Duin, 49% are rental properties. That sounds like a healthy rental market, but the majority of those rental homes are in the housing association sector (23%). Only 26% fall under other landlords, and that is precisely the segment where the free sector is located. The supply of free-sector rental homes is therefore limited, and prices reflect that scarcity. If you are considering buying instead of renting, you can also look at the supply of homes for sale in Duin.
Duin: green and quiet, but not without caveats
Duin has a clear character: it is a relatively quiet, green neighbourhood with a high proportion of families and an above-average income level. The average income per household is €43,800, compared to €38,200 in the rest of Almere. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category. The labour participation rate of 72% and the high education level (43% highly educated) give Duin a profile similar to an established family neighbourhood with little turnover.
On the neighbourhood page of Duin, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 5.6 out of 10, based on reviews. That score is low for a neighbourhood that looks good on paper, but the residents' comments make it clear why. Ingrid writes: "It is wonderful to live in Duin. Only Duin is very dirty. The bins need to be emptied more often and more should be added. Also, the play facilities for children could be much better. The children have nothing to do here. A pavement for residents should also be installed after 12 years. And the street lighting." That is an honest summary of what is going on: the living environment itself scores well on safety (8.0) and housing (8.0), but the public space falls short. Cleanliness gets a 3.0, amenities a 2.0, and accessibility a 4.0. These are low scores that potential tenants should take seriously.
Duin consists of the neighbourhoods Duin Noord and Duin Zuid, each with its own character in terms of housing type and location. The neighbourhood borders green areas and has a quiet appearance, but those who depend on public transport or daily amenities within walking distance may feel limited. The municipality of Almere is continuously working on the development of neighbourhoods; more information about plans and amenities can be found on the website of the municipality of Almere.
Renting in Duin: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Duin mainly attracts families with higher incomes who are looking for space and quiet and are less dependent on nearby shops or good public transport. If you are considering renting an apartment in Duin with a smaller budget, you will find few options in the free sector. Rental prices start at €2,300 per month. For starters or people who want to rent flexibly without high monthly costs, neighbourhoods such as De Hoven or De Meenten may be more suitable.

It's wonderful living in Duin. Only Duin is very dirty. The bins need to be emptied more often and more should be added. Also the play facilities for children could be much better. The children have nothing to do here. A pavement for residents would also be nice after 12 years. And the street lighting in the evening is not very good either. And the IJmeerdijk should also be checked more often in the evening. There are often nitrous oxide canisters, condoms, glass from bottles of alcohol and a lot of rubbish. And then the Duinhal where the children are cycling on their fatbikes. Electric scooters, you have to watch where you walk otherwise you'll be knocked over. It's one big chaos inside. Also there are often people from the Leger des Heils Domus secretly drinking there. So it could all be better. But otherwise I am very happy to live here
