Renting in Verzetswijk: an owner-occupied neighbourhood with scarce private sector homes
Verzetswijk is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 1,376 homes, 69% are owner-occupied, and only 31% are rental properties. Social housing accounts for 23% of the total stock, while other landlords account for 9%. This means that the private sector rental supply is limited. Over the past twelve months, only 8 private sector rental homes were let in the neighbourhood, with an average rent of €1,756 per month and a range of €1,050 to €1,995 per month. The average floor area was 105m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rents and the current supply, see the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value of €374,000 is slightly above the Almere average of €363,000, reflecting the neighbourhood's relatively strong position in the housing market.
Anyone looking for a rental home in Verzetswijk must be patient. Supply varies greatly and disappears quickly. Renting in Verzetswijk via the private sector is therefore more the exception than the rule. For those who want more choice, it is also worth exploring rental homes in Almere more broadly.
Verzetswijk: a quiet, mature neighbourhood where families have lived for years
Verzetswijk is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its spectacle. It is an established Almere residential area with wide streets, plenty of greenery and a population that has lived there for a long time. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,150 of the 3,460 residents), and 41% of households are married. Families with children form the largest household group. This characterises the atmosphere: quiet, orderly, little nightlife or urban dynamism.
On the Verzetswijk neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace and space, but also mention that the neighbourhood has little liveliness compared to neighbourhoods closer to the centre. One resident described it as: "It's nice and green here, but you have to like it being quiet in the evening." Amenities are present but not abundant. The neighbourhood has primary schools and play facilities, making it attractive for young families, but those who want shops or restaurants within walking distance on a daily basis will find that this is more limited here than in neighbourhoods such as Centrum Almere Haven.
The neighbourhood is divided into several districts. In Verzetswijk Oost and Verzetswijk West you will mainly find single-family homes. The greener area around Hannie Schaftpark and the Bos der Onverzettelijk attracts residents who value nature and walking distance to greenery. Accessibility by car is good thanks to the proximity of arterial roads towards Almere and Amsterdam. Public transport is functional but not frequent enough for everyone. Labour participation is 67% and the average income is €40,200, slightly above the Almere average, which fits the picture of a stable middle-class neighbourhood.

Renting in Verzetswijk: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Renting an apartment in Verzetswijk or finding a rental home in the private sector is reserved for tenants with a higher budget, given the average rent of €1,756 per month. The neighbourhood is best suited for families or couples who seek peace, space and greenery and have no need for a bustling environment. For starters or young people looking for urbanity and affordable rents, the neighbourhood is less suitable. Those considering staying longer can also look at homes for sale in Verzetswijk as an alternative, because the owner-occupied market offers more choice here than the rental market.
