Living in Filmwijk: a beach, Vomar and a neighbourhood with two faces
Filmwijk has its own character that you won't easily confuse with other neighbourhoods in Almere. The street names refer to films and filmmakers, from Walt Disneyplantsoen to Charlie Chaplinstraat. The neighbourhood is nestled between the Weerwater and the city centre, meaning you can cycle to the beach within a few minutes. That beach is no detail: it partly defines the atmosphere. Resident Marga (9.1/10) writes on Buurtje.nl: "Good neighbourhood, respect for each other, saying hello, helping people. Good location, close to centre and hospital. Live by the beach, beautiful." On the Filmwijk neighbourhood page you can find all reviews and an average resident score of 8.2 out of 10.
In terms of amenities, you are well-served. The Vomar on the edge of the neighbourhood is the regular supermarket for many residents, and Filmwijk shopping centre offers daily groceries. For a larger range of shops, you are within five minutes of Almere Centrum. De Archipel primary school and Montessorischool Almere are in or near the neighbourhood, and Flevoziekenhuis hospital is a stone's throw away. Lumièrepark and Laterna Magikapark provide green space and play areas, explaining the high green score of 8.6. Almere Centrum station is within cycling distance (about 10 minutes), with direct Flevolijn trains to Amsterdam Centraal in about 30 minutes. Bus lines towards Almere Haven and Almere Buiten stop in the neighbourhood, and the A6 is quickly accessible via the Tussenring.
Yet Filmwijk has two faces. Resident Amanda (6.1/10) warns about Filmwijk Noord: "The neighbourhood has deteriorated enormously in terms of safety, lots of nuisance from homeless people and addicts, crime, litter, noise pollution." She emphasises that this is not due to the residents themselves, but it is something to consider if you are viewing a home there. The more southern parts around Walt Disneyplantsoen and Bouwrai Zuid are experienced as quieter. It is wise to visit at different times of the day before making an offer. On the Almere municipality website you can find information about current neighbourhood plans and safety initiatives.
