What does a rental property cost in Muziekwijk Noord?
Muziekwijk Noord is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 69% of the more than 4,660 homes are owner-occupied, and only 31% are rental. Of that rental share, 19% is with housing associations and 12% with other landlords. This means that the free-sector supply is relatively limited. In the past twelve months, 44 homes have been rented out in the free sector, at an average rent of €2,109 per month. The range runs from approximately €1,040 to €3,150 per month, with an average floor area of 118 m². That is substantial, especially considering that the average WOZ value here, at €370,000, is only just above the Almere average of €363,000. The free-sector rents therefore mainly reflect scarcity, not so much a premium location. Want to know what is available today?

Muziekwijk Noord: family neighbourhood with musical street names and short lines
The street names in Muziekwijk Noord immediately reveal the theme: you live on Beethovenlaan, Mozartweg or Bachstraat. But behind those musical names lies a fairly down-to-earth, green family neighbourhood in Almere Stad. With 11,110 residents and nearly 2,000 households with children, this is a neighbourhood where you see schoolchildren cycling in the morning and dogs being walked along the waterways in the evening. The largest age group (45 to 65 years, over 3,180 people) shows that many original residents have stayed. That provides stability, but also a certain ageing that you notice in the streetscape.
On the neighbourhood page of Muziekwijk Noord you can read what residents themselves say. Strikingly, many reviewers appreciate the peace and greenery, but are also honest about the limitations. One resident writes, for example, that for serious shopping you have to go to the centre of Almere, because the facilities in the neighbourhood itself are basic. There is a small shopping centre on Muziekweg with a supermarket and a few specialist shops, but do not expect an extensive range of eateries. For daily groceries you can manage fine, for a night out you hop on the bus or cycle to Almere Centrum.
In terms of accessibility, you are reasonably well off: Almere Muziekwijk station lies on the edge of the neighbourhood and takes you to Amsterdam Zuid in about 25 minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A6. The sub-areas within the neighbourhood differ considerably from each other. For instance, the northwestern part is somewhat greener and more spacious in layout, while the central area is more densely built with more terraced houses. In the southeastern corner you will find some newer apartments. Around the Klein Brandt Sportpark, the sports facilities are a plus, with football fields and a swimming pool within walking distance. The municipality of Almere invests in maintenance of public spaces, although some residents feel that green maintenance could be better.
Does Muziekwijk Noord suit you as a tenant?
With an average rent of over €2,100 per month in the free sector, a rental home in Muziekwijk Noord is not within every budget. The average disposable income in the neighbourhood is €39,100, which is slightly above the Almere average. For families seeking space and appreciating a quiet, predictable living environment, this is a logical choice. Starters and singles with a smaller budget are less well off here: the supply is tight and prices are steep. For them, it may be interesting to also look at De Meenten or De Werven, where the housing mix is different. Those who prefer to buy rather than rent can find the current supply on the page with homes for sale in Muziekwijk Noord. Renting an apartment in Muziekwijk Noord is, by the way, more difficult than finding a single-family home: the majority of the supply consists of terraced and corner houses.
