Living in Vogelhorst Zuid, Almere

Vogelhorst Zuid is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of the Vogelhorst district in Almere Buiten. The neighbourhood has a pronounced suburban character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, detached houses and semi-detached houses, mostly dating from the 1980s and 1990s. It is not a neighbourhood you walk through by chance; you live there deliberately. The average WOZ value of €676,000 and an average household income of €61,700 (well above the Almere average of €38,200) tell the story of an established middle-class neighbourhood where families have lived for years and do not leave quickly. You can also see this in the age structure: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (400 of the 1,050 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. Young families and starters are clearly in the minority.
