Rental homes in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid, Almere

What does a rental property cost in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid?

Tussen de Vaarten Zuid is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 73% of the more than 3,700 homes are owner-occupied, and only 27% are rental. Of that rental stock, 19% falls under housing associations and 8% under other landlords. This makes the free-sector supply limited. In the past twelve months, 39 rental properties in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid were rented out in the free sector (excluding social housing). The average rent was €2,253 per month, with a range of €1,044 to €3,350. On average, the properties were around 113 m². That is substantial, but fits the character of the neighbourhood: many single-family homes and few small apartments. The WOZ value, at €387,000, is slightly above the Almere average of €363,000, while the average income of €38,100 is almost equal to the rest of Almere.

Tussen de Vaarten Zuid: a neat family neighbourhood with a sharp edge

On the neighbourhood page of Tussen de Vaarten Zuid, residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. The highest sub-scores go to housing (8.5), education (8.0) and the green environment (7.5). That matches what you see when you walk around: the neighbourhood has wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the residential blocks and several primary schools within walking distance. Resident Michael gives a 7.8 and writes: "Neighbours know each other, greet each other, help and look out for each other. Nice feeling." Several residents recognise that image of a close-knit, neat neighbourhood, especially in the quieter parts towards the southwest and Sallandsebos.

But there is also another side. The score for sense of community (6.8) and safety (7.2) is lower, and the reviews explain why. One resident reports that the neighbourhood "has been terrorised by one family for over 20 years" with intimidating behaviour and threats. Another calls the neighbourhood "boring" and complains about loud music and bangs in the evenings, and little contact with neighbours. The experience therefore varies greatly per street and per neighbourhood. In the northeastern part, relatively more families live close together, while around Midden-Oost it is laid out more spaciously.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores a 7.0. There is an Albert Heijn nearby, but a chemist or other small shop is lacking, as one resident notes. For larger groceries or a night out, you have to rely on the centre of Almere Haven or Almere Stad. Accessibility (7.0) is reasonable: by bus you can reach Almere Centrum station, and the A6 is a few minutes' drive away. Still, it is not a neighbourhood where you can easily get around without a car. Read more about the daily experiences of residents in the reviews on the neighbourhood page.
