Renting in Gooisekant: a small market with striking price differences
Gooisekant is a compact neighbourhood in Almere with a housing stock of just 6 registered homes, 36% of which are in the rental sector. That is a modest supply, and you can see it in the market dynamics. A large part of the rental supply is owned by housing associations (26%), while private sector landlords account for 11%. For those looking for a rental home outside the social sector, choices are therefore limited. In the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), 5 homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €1,135 per month and an average floor area of 105 m². The range was remarkably wide: from €315 to €2,100 per month. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Gooisekant is €271,000, while the municipal average for Almere is €363,000. This makes Gooisekant one of the cheaper neighbourhoods in terms of property value. Check the current rental prices and available supply at the top of this page, as they change daily.
Gooisekant from the inside: a neighbourhood driven by young single-person households
Whoever lives in Gooisekant or moves there probably fits a specific profile: young, single and active. As many as 130 of the 155 residents live alone, and the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old. Only 3% of residents are married. That says something about the atmosphere: this is not a family neighbourhood with playgrounds and school runs as conversation topics. It is a neighbourhood where people live who are flexible, often work (the labour participation rate is 69%) and do not necessarily want to put down roots. It is also striking that no gas consumption is registered, while electricity consumption is relatively high at 6,540 kWh per year. This points to fully electric living, which can be a plus for some tenants.
On the neighbourhood page of Gooisekant you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace and affordable entry compared to other parts of Almere. One resident writes: "You live here quietly, without the hustle and bustle of the centre, but you are there in no time." At the same time, there is criticism of the limited range of amenities directly in the neighbourhood itself: for daily shopping or dining you have to rely on adjacent areas. The neighbourhood is divided into two sub-areas: also check the supply in Gooisekant Oost and Gooisekant West for a complete picture of what is available. In terms of accessibility, Gooisekant benefits from its location in Almere Haven, with good connections to the centre and the A6. For more information about the municipality and urban amenities, also see the official website of the municipality of Almere.
The average income per resident in Gooisekant is €35,300, slightly below the Almere average of €38,200. That fits the profile of a neighbourhood with relatively many young starters and people in the early stages of their careers. The share of highly educated people is 29%, which is comparable to the city average. The neighbourhood does not feel like a transit neighbourhood, but neither is it a place where people settle for twenty years. It is a place to land.
