Living in Eilandenbuurt Zuid, Almere
Eilandenbuurt Zuid is located in the western part of Almere Haven, the oldest district of Almere. You can see this in the homes: many terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with relatively large plots and gardens by Almere standards. The streets are laid out green, with many trees and parks in between. Residents therefore give green space a score of 8.0 out of 10, one of the highest sub-scores. If you are looking for a neighbourhood with space and air, you are in the right place here.
The atmosphere is quiet and neighbourhood-oriented. Residents know each other, and that is not a cliché. Imj Jensch, who gives the neighbourhood a 6.2, describes it aptly: "Watchful, looking out for each other." People help each other and there is a certain social control that makes the neighbourhood feel safe for families. This also fits the demographic composition: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children are the most common household type.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well: an 8.0 out of 10. And that is correct. Almere Haven has its own district centre within walking distance, with supermarkets, a weekly market, eateries and shops for daily groceries. The same resident explicitly mentions the proximity of several supermarkets as a plus point. For schools, the average score is 6.0; primary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity, but for secondary education you have to travel a bit further.
Accessibility is rated at 7.0. Eilandenbuurt Zuid benefits from its location near the A6 motorway, allowing you to quickly reach Amsterdam or Lelystad. The resident explicitly mentions the motorway as a plus point. For public transport, there is a bus connection to the centre of Almere Haven and Almere Haven NS station, from where you can be at Amsterdam Central in about 25 minutes by train. By bike, the district centre can be reached within a few minutes.
Less positive are the scores for safety (4.0) and sense of community (4.0). The aforementioned review also highlights a pain point: speeding boats on the water. Eilandenbuurt Zuid borders the water, which gives the neighbourhood character, but also brings nuisance from recreational traffic. That is something to keep in mind if you like peace and quiet.
Compared to Eilandenbuurt Noord and Eilandenbuurt Oost, the southern part has a slightly quieter location, further from the busier access roads. If you are looking for more urban dynamics, you could also look at Centrum Almere Haven. For all resident reviews and a full neighbourhood profile, go to the neighbourhood page of Eilandenbuurt Zuid.
Is a home for sale in Eilandenbuurt Zuid right for you?
Eilandenbuurt Zuid mainly appeals to families looking for space, wanting a garden and not necessarily needing to live in the centre. The average purchase price of over €522,000 makes this neighbourhood less suitable for starters with a limited budget.

The limited number of transactions (14 in a year) indicates a tight market: little is offered, which means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Are you considering renting as an intermediate step or alternative? Then check the rental homes in Eilandenbuurt Zuid for what is available.
