Living in Centrum Almere Buiten Zuid, Almere

Centrum Almere Buiten Zuid is located directly around the shopping centre of Almere Buiten, the largest covered shopping centre in Almere after the city centre of Almere Stad. This largely determines the character of the neighbourhood: it is urban, functional and well-equipped, but not the quiet residential area where you only hear the birds in the evening. During the day there is a lot of activity from shoppers, and the buildings mainly consist of apartment blocks and complexes from the 1980s and 1990s. Anyone looking for a home to buy here will typically find an apartment in a porch block or gallery building, sometimes with a balcony, rarely with a garden.

The location is one of its strongest assets. Almere Buiten station is within walking distance, with direct train connections to Amsterdam Central in about 35 minutes and to Lelystad in 15 minutes. The A6 motorway is reachable within a few minutes via the Buitenring. By bike you are quickly in the surrounding districts, and bus lines connect the neighbourhood with other parts of Almere. For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the house: supermarkets, a pharmacy, a library and a wide range of shops are literally around the corner at Stadsplein Almere Buiten.

The population composition is diverse. With 360 residents in the 25 to 45 age group, this is the largest group, and the high proportion of single-person households (275 out of approximately 400 households) characterises the neighbourhood as a place where many singles and couples without children live. Families with children are less represented, which is logical given the predominantly compact housing supply. The labour participation rate of 64% and an average income of €28,900 are below the municipal average of €38,200, which fits the rental market that dominates here.

Residents particularly appreciate the accessibility and proximity of amenities. One resident writes: "Everything is close by, the train, the supermarket, the pharmacy. For someone who travels a lot, this is an ideal place." Criticisms more often concern liveability in the immediate vicinity of the shopping centre, parking pressure and the appearance of some apartment blocks.
