Living in Overgooi, Almere

Overgooi is no ordinary Almere neighbourhood. It is a secluded, green village area on the edge of the Gooimeer, developed in the 1990s and early 2000s as one of the city's most luxurious residential environments. The homes are almost exclusively detached villas and spacious semi-detached houses on large plots, surrounded by water, woodland and quiet lanes. You drive through streets like the Overgooise Dreef and past bodies of water that give the neighbourhood an estate-like atmosphere. The contrast with the rest of Almere is stark: no high-rise buildings, no busy shopping streets, no porch flats.

The neighbourhood has around 630 residents, the largest group being between 45 and 65 years old. Families with children are the most common household type, and 50% of residents are married. The age structure and high average income paint the profile: this is a neighbourhood for established dual-income earners and families seeking space, peace and privacy.

Facilities in and around Overgooi

Overgooi itself has no supermarket, school or shopping centre within its boundaries. This is deliberate. For daily groceries, you drive to nearby Almere Buiten, where you will find an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, among others. Primary and secondary schools are a few minutes' drive away in the surrounding districts of Almere Buiten. Sports and recreation are a strong point: the Gooimeer is literally around the corner, offering opportunities for sailing, rowing and water sports. The Almeerderhout, a large forest area, borders the neighbourhood and provides extensive walking and cycling paths. For dining and more extensive shopping, the city centre of Almere Buiten or Almere Stad is the destination.

Accessibility of Overgooi

By car, Overgooi is easily accessible via the A6, which connects Almere to Amsterdam (about 30 minutes) and Utrecht. Within Almere, the neighbourhood is quickly reached via the Hogering. Public transport is less strong: a bus line runs from the neighbourhood to Almere Buiten station, from where you can take the train to Amsterdam Central in about 20 minutes. Cycling to the centre of Almere Buiten takes about 10 to 15 minutes via the cycle routes along the Gooimeer. Parking is not a problem: almost all homes have their own driveway or garage, and there is no parking permit requirement.

What residents say

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the Overgooi neighbourhood page you can read what people specifically write. One resident describes it as: "You live here as if you are outside the city, but Amsterdam is just around the corner. The children play outside on the street, the neighbours know each other. You won't find that anywhere else in Almere." Criticisms usually concern the limited walking distance to facilities and the fact that you are less well off without a car.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Waterlandse Tuinen, Windhoek en Schapenbos, Overgooi is more exclusive and quieter, but also has fewer facilities. Cirkelbos has a similar green character but a different type of housing and a lower entry threshold for tenants.

Is renting in Overgooi right for you?

Living in Overgooi as a tenant is reserved for a small group. The scarce supply, high rents and lack of social housing make this a neighbourhood for tenants with a substantial budget and a preference for space, privacy and a green living environment. Families and dual-income earners in the higher income brackets fit this residential environment best. Starters and students are less at home here, also due to the lack of affordable supply and limited public transport connections.

Practical advice: respond quickly when a home becomes available for rent in Overgooi. The supply is small and homes are usually rented out quickly. Make sure you have income statements, employer declarations and a copy of your ID ready. Social housing is not available here, so registering with a housing association is pointless for Overgooi. For a broader supply, also check the rental homes in the Overgooi district or the overall overview of rental homes in Almere. Those considering buying instead of renting can also find information about the purchase supply and current neighbourhood data on the Overgooi neighbourhood page.
