Renting in Nobelhorst: a small private sector with hefty prices
Nobelhorst is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 1,198 homes, only 24% are in the rental sector, the vast majority of which (23%) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore exceptionally small: in the past twelve months, only five private sector rental homes were let, with an average rent of €3,500 per month and an average living area of 202 m². In all cases, the price was at the same level, indicating that this concerns a very specific segment: large family homes for tenants with a substantial income. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Nobelhorst is €450,000, well above the Almere average of €363,000. That says something about the level of the neighbourhood.

The social rental homes in Nobelhorst are managed by housing associations. For a social rental home, income limits apply and there is a waiting period that strongly depends on your registration time. Information about social renting and waiting lists in Almere can be found on the website of the municipality of Almere. Anyone looking for a rental home in Nobelhorst outside the social sector must reckon with limited supply and high monthly costs.
Nobelhorst: a young family neighbourhood still building itself
Nobelhorst is one of the newer neighbourhoods of Almere, and you can tell. The neighbourhood has a strikingly young population structure: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and more than a quarter of all residents are under 15. Families with children form by far the largest household group. That gives the neighbourhood a certain energy, but also a certain incompleteness. Nobelhorst is still under development, and residents sometimes experience that as an advantage and sometimes as a drawback.
On the neighbourhood page of Nobelhorst, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.0 out of 10, based on reviews from people who actually live there. Accessibility scores highest with an 8.0, and that is correct: Nobelhorst is conveniently located relative to the A6 and has good connections towards Almere Centrum and Amsterdam. Green spaces and education also score reasonably, 7.0 and 7.0 respectively. But safety gets only a 4.0, and community spirit (5.0) and amenities (5.0) are also not highly rated. One resident describes the feeling as "a neighbourhood that still needs to grow": the physical infrastructure is there, but the social layer and the range of shops lag behind. Anyone looking for a lively neighbourhood with a full range of amenities within walking distance may be disappointed in Nobelhorst.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas. In Nobelhorst Oost and Nobelhorst West, the homes are predominantly spacious and ground-based, with gardens and a quiet street layout. Nobelhorst Zuid is more compact in design. Anyone looking for rental homes in Nobelhorst in a specific sub-area can search specifically using the filters at the top of the page. The labour participation rate in the neighbourhood is 78% and the average income is €49,600, well above the Almere average of €38,200. That characterises the profile of the neighbourhood: working dual-income couples with children who have consciously chosen new-build and space.
Renting in Nobelhorst: for whom does this work and for whom not?
Renting in Nobelhorst is reserved for a specific group. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Nobelhorst will notice that the supply consists almost exclusively of spacious single-family homes in the private sector, with rents around €3,500 per month. That makes renting a home in Nobelhorst interesting for families with two incomes who are looking for space and new-build quality, but do not want to buy immediately. For starters, singles, or people with a middle income, the neighbourhood is less suitable: the private sector is expensive and small, and for social renting there are waiting times. Considering a long-term perspective? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Nobelhorst, because the owner-occupied sector is by far the largest here.

How is the accessibility of Nobelhorst for commuters?
Accessibility is Nobelhorst's strongest asset: residents give it an 8.0. The neighbourhood is conveniently located near the A6, making Amsterdam and other Randstad cities easily accessible by car.

The neighbourhood is often inaccessible because during roadworks all entrances and exits are closed at the same time. Furthermore, it is a pleasant and reasonably safe neighbourhood. There is no shortage of schools either, thanks to the primary school and Montessori that are currently being developed. There is sometimes a shortage of drains. The streets are quite often flooded after a storm. In short, there is still some work to be done, but it is certainly starting to look like something. Fine neighbourhood
