Poldervlak: a quiet neighbourhood with little movement and a loyal resident group
Poldervlak is not a neighbourhood that stands out on the map of Almere, and that may be exactly what residents appreciate about it. With 55 residents and a housing stock of just 10 homes, it is one of the most intimate residential areas in the city. The largest age group consists of residents between 45 and 65 years old, giving the neighbourhood a calm and stable character. There are also families with children, but young starters are hardly represented.
On the neighbourhood page for Poldervlak you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and orderly, but also emphasise that amenities are not around the corner. For daily shopping or public transport, you have to rely on neighbouring neighbourhoods or the wider Almere network. This requires a car or bike and some willingness to commute. The labour participation rate in the neighbourhood is 71%, slightly above the national average, and the average income of €34,700 is slightly lower than the Almere average of €38,200. This gives a fair picture of who lives there: working middle-class people, not a particularly affluent neighbourhood but also not a problem area.
The neighbourhood is divided into two sub-areas. Anyone considering renting in Poldervlak can also look at Poldervlak Oost or the supply in Poldervlak West, where the supply sometimes varies a bit more. Energy consumption is on the high side at 4,440 kWh and 1,540 m³ of gas, indicating that the housing stock is not the most energy-efficient. This is something to take into account with rental homes in this neighbourhood, especially now that energy costs can weigh heavily on monthly expenses.
Renting in Poldervlak: who is it suitable for, and who is it not?

For young starters or people renting an apartment in Almere for the first time, Poldervlak is probably too isolated and too limited in supply.
