Living in Centrum Haven Zuid, Almere

Centrum Haven Zuid is a compact, quiet neighbourhood on the south side of the Almere harbour area. When you cycle through it for the first time, you notice how quiet it actually is for a city centre neighbourhood. The buildings largely date from the 1980s and 1990s, when Almere Haven was still under development. You will mainly find apartment blocks and stacked homes, directly on or near the water. The Weerwater and the harbours are literally around the corner, giving the neighbourhood a watery atmosphere that you rarely find so strongly in other Almere neighbourhoods.

The neighbourhood has a clear profile when it comes to residents: more than half of the inhabitants are 65 years or older, and single-person households form the largest group. This is reflected in the atmosphere: quiet, little hustle and bustle on the streets, few children playing. For some buyers, that is exactly what they are looking for; for others, it is a reason to look further at neighbourhoods like Centrum Haven Noord, where the population composition is more varied.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The city centre of Almere Haven with supermarkets, shops and eateries is within walking distance. The Stadsplein of Almere Haven, with among others an Albert Heijn and various shops, can be reached within ten minutes. Along the Weerwater you will find walking and cycling paths, and the Almeerderstrand is easily accessible by bike. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are present in the wider district; the Centrum Almere Haven area offers more than the neighbourhood itself in this regard.

Accessibility is a strong point. Almere Haven station is within cycling distance, with direct train connections to Amsterdam Centraal in about twenty minutes and to Utrecht in about forty minutes. For motorists, the A6 is quickly accessible. Bus connections link the neighbourhood to other parts of Almere. Parking is generally well arranged, although it can be a bit of a search around busy times in the harbour area.

Residents appreciate the location on the water and the tranquillity the neighbourhood exudes. On the neighbourhood main page of Centrum Haven Zuid you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here, you hear the water and the neighbourhood feels safe. Only for young families with children it might be a bit boring." That sums up the atmosphere well: pleasant for those seeking peace, less suitable for those wanting liveliness and a young street scene.

Those who want to compare the neighbourhood with other parts of Almere can also look at districts such as De Werven or De Hoven, which have a different character but also offer interesting buying options.

Who is a home to buy in Centrum Haven Zuid interesting for?

Based on the demographic composition, Centrum Haven Zuid best suits seniors, people living alone and peace seekers who love water. The neighbourhood is less suitable for young families with children, given the limited supply of schools directly in the area and the low presence of young families. First-time buyers can buy an apartment in Centrum Haven Zuid at the lower end of the market, but supply is limited and competition can be high. Be honest with yourself: the low supply means you need to be able to act quickly when something becomes available. Those who want more choice or are considering renting as an intermediate step can also look at the rental homes in Centrum Haven Zuid.

What residents say about Centrum Haven Zuid
