Living in Faunabuurt Noord, Almere
Faunabuurt Noord is a residential neighbourhood in the western part of Almere Stad, part of the broader Faunabuurt. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s, a period visible in Almere through the relatively wide street profiles, green strips between housing blocks, and the typical terraced houses and semi-detached homes that dominate the area. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for a certain functional, quiet layout.
With 1,845 residents, it is a medium-sized neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. You notice this in the neighbourhood: there are many bicycles outside front doors, and during school hours the pavements are busy. The labour participation rate is 64%, and the average income of €34,200 is slightly below the Almere average. The proportion of highly educated people is relatively low at 19%.
In terms of amenities, Faunabuurt Noord is not a neighbourhood that has everything on its doorstep. For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby Faunabuurt shopping centre or the facilities in Almere Stad. Primary education is available in and around the neighbourhood. For more extensive shopping or dining, the city centre of Almere is the place to go, accessible by bus or bicycle.
Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the surrounding roads, the A6 motorway is relatively quick to reach, connecting Almere with Amsterdam and Lelystad. By public transport, Almere Centrum station is the nearest major hub, with intercity trains to Amsterdam and Utrecht. Bus connections from the neighbourhood itself are functional but not frequent; for daily commuting, a car or bicycle to the station is common.
The resident score for Faunabuurt Noord is currently 1.0 out of 10, based on one review. All sub-scores, from safety and accessibility to green spaces and amenities, are at the lowest level. The only review is from Dewi van der Star, who sums up the neighbourhood with: "SZTOP!" That is not very informative, but it is a signal that not everyone is satisfied here. One review is statistically too few to draw firm conclusions, but it is fair to mention this. Check the full neighbourhood page for all reviews and sub-scores once more reviews are available.
Compared to neighbouring districts within the area, Faunabuurt Noord has a lower WOZ value than, for example, Faunabuurt Zuidoost or Faunabuurt Zuidwest. Those looking for more urban dynamism might also consider districts such as Centrum Almere Haven or De Werven.
Is a home in Faunabuurt Noord right for you?
Faunabuurt Noord mainly appeals to young families and first-time buyers looking for a home in Almere without paying the highest prices in the city. The WOZ value is below the city average, but the realised selling prices over the past year show that significant amounts are still paid here: an average of €421,364 for a home of around 104 m². Anyone considering buying a home in Faunabuurt Noord would do well to act quickly when new listings appear, because with only 11 transactions in a year, supply is limited. First-time buyers with a limited budget might also look at rental properties in Faunabuurt Noord as an alternative or stepping stone. Seniors or those specifically looking for a lively city centre will be less likely to find their ideal spot here.
