Living in Centrum Dronten, Dronten

Centrum Dronten has a village-urban character that you don't encounter everywhere in Flevoland. The neighbourhood is compact and walkable: the supermarket, pharmacy, library and a number of specialist shops are within cycling distance or even walking distance. The De Meerpaal shopping centre forms the beating heart of the centre, with shops, catering and the cultural centre of the same name where theatre, cinema and events come together. For daily groceries, there are several supermarkets in or directly near the centre.

The buildings in Centrum Dronten largely date from the 1960s and 1970s, when Dronten was built as a new polder municipality. This is reflected in the functional urban layout: wide roads, spacious parks and a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and apartment blocks. The homes are generally well-maintained, but those looking for historic architecture or new-build homes would do better to look in other parts of the municipality.

The neighbourhood attracts a notable number of over-65s: of the approximately 990 residents, almost 39% are over 65. This colours the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, orderly and there is much attention to accessibility and facilities for the elderly. At the same time, young adults and families also live there, partly thanks to the proximity of primary schools and childcare in the area.

In terms of accessibility, Centrum Dronten scores reasonably. Dronten does not have its own train station, but bus connections to Lelystad and Kampen provide public transport links. By car, you can quickly reach the A6 towards Amsterdam or Zwolle via the N307 and N309. Cycling is the norm in Dronten: the centre is easily accessible via a network of cycle paths, and for many residents the bicycle is the daily means of transport.

Residents appreciate the peace and central location. One resident writes: "Everything is close by, you don't need a car for your daily life, and yet it's quiet living here." Criticisms sometimes concern the limited range of shops for a central area and the outdated appearance of parts of the buildings. View all reviews and neighbourhood scores on the page of Centrum Dronten, where residents rate the neighbourhood on themes such as liveability, safety and facilities.

Who is a home in Centrum Dronten interesting for?

First-time buyers can buy an apartment in Centrum Dronten as an entry into the owner-occupied market, although the lower limit of €262,500 is already a big step for many.
