What does a rental property cost in Stedenwijk?

Accessibility scores a 5.8, which fits the neighbourhood's location. Stedenwijk is in Almere Haven and is connected by bus to Almere Haven station, but it lacks its own train station. By car, you can quickly reach the Gooisebrug towards Het Gooi via the A6, although it can be quite busy during rush hour. The score for education stands out as the weakest point at 4.5, something to consider if you have school-age children. The beauty of the neighbourhood scores a 5.5, and greenery a 6.0. Stedenwijk is not a green oasis, but the nearby Dokter J.M. den Uylpark does offer space for walking and sports.
The neighbourhood is made up of clearly distinct areas. In Stedenwijk Noord you will find predominantly single-family homes from the 1980s, while the southern part is closer to the harbour centre and has a bit more liveliness. Around Bedrijvensterrein Draaiersplaats the character is naturally more business-like. You can do your daily shopping within walking distance, and for a larger range of shops you can drive to Almere Centrum in ten minutes. The municipality of Almere has been investing in the renewal of Almere Haven in recent years, which could also benefit Stedenwijk in the long term.
Renting in Stedenwijk: for whom, for whom not?
With a large share of housing association homes and relatively affordable free-sector prices, Stedenwijk mainly attracts starters and single people.

N/A
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very cosy neighbourhood with very nice neighbours. It's also close to the city, which is nice, and there are schools here (the secondary school is a bit 'ghetto') and lots of nice playgrounds for the children. Apart from that, it's always a bit exciting to walk through Stedenwijk in the evening. I am very satisfied with this neighbourhood and certainly won't be leaving for the time being.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very ugly, old and boring. Mostly old people and chavs, I do NOT feel safe here
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a quiet neighbourhood, hardly any nuisance, close to shops, park and playground. The municipality does a poor job of maintaining weeds, which gives it a neglected look. People cause litter because their bins are overflowing and it blows out due to wind, for example.
