Rental homes in Vogelhorst, Almere

Renting in Vogelhorst: a scarce market with top prices

Vogelhorst is one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Almere, and that is immediately reflected in the figures. Of the 629 homes in the neighbourhood, only 1% is available for rent. There is no housing association property; the few rental homes are all owned by private landlords. The average WOZ value is €700,000, almost double the municipal average of €363,000. That immediately explains why a rental home in Vogelhorst is no bargain: in the free sector (excluding social housing), the average rent over the past year was €3,750 per month. The range ran from €3,750 to €3,750, indicating how little is rented out and how little variation there is in supply. For the current state of supply and daily rental prices, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Vogelhorst: a neighbourhood for those who value peace and space above all else

Vogelhorst feels different from the rest of Almere. The neighbourhood borders forest and water, the homes are on spacious plots, and the streets are quiet. More than half of the residents are between 45 and 65 years old, and 52% are married. Families with young children are less common than you would expect in an average Almere neighbourhood. The atmosphere is that of an established, affluent area where people have lived for years and want to continue doing so. On the neighbourhood page of Vogelhorst you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data that give a good picture of daily life here.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and green surroundings. One reviewer writes that Vogelhorst feels like "living in a holiday park, but just your own home". The proximity of the forest and golf course is regularly mentioned as one of the biggest plus points. In Bosgebied Vogelhorst this is most literal: homes are directly adjacent to the greenery. Those who prefer a bit more open space and a slightly different atmosphere can also look in Vogelhorst Noord or Vogelhorst Zuid.

A recurring point of criticism in the reviews is the limited accessibility without a car. Public transport is not a strong point of this neighbourhood, and daily amenities such as supermarkets and shops are not within walking distance. Those accustomed to urban convenience will have to forgo that here. The labour participation rate is 67% and the average income is €49,600, well above the Almere average of €38,200. That characterises the type of resident living here: dual-income earners or people who have already built up wealth and consciously choose this quiet environment.

For whom is renting in Vogelhorst actually realistic?

Renting in Vogelhorst is reserved for a small group. Anyone considering renting a home in Vogelhorst must take into account rental prices well above €3,500 per month and a supply that rarely appears on the market. Practically speaking, this is interesting for expats or people temporarily working in the region who want to combine the space and tranquillity of this neighbourhood with a temporary stay. For starters, students, or people with a middle income, this is not a realistic rental address. Those who want to stay typically buy here.
