Living in Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord, Almere
Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord is an urban residential neighbourhood in the western part of Filmwijk, a district developed in the 1980s and 1990s as part of Almere Stad. The name refers to the Bouwrai, a former trade fair for the construction industry, and that fact says something about the planned, functional layout of the neighbourhood. The streets are spacious, there is relatively much public space, and the housing types consist mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from that period, supplemented by a smaller share of apartment blocks.
The neighbourhood has about 1,365 residents, with the largest group aged between 25 and 45. Families with children are the most common household type, which is reflected in the layout of public space: playgrounds, wide pavements and a reasonable percentage of greenery. The average income is €35,800, slightly below the Almere average, and the labour participation rate is 64%.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well. Within walking distance you will find the Filmwijk shopping centre, with supermarkets, a pharmacy and various shops for daily groceries. For education, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, which explains the residents' score for education (7.0). Sports facilities are available in the wider Filmwijk and can be reached via the nearby Almere sports parks.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. Residents give accessibility a score of 8.0, the highest sub-score. Bus connections to Almere Centrum and Almere Centrum railway station run frequently, and the connection to the A6 makes the neighbourhood easily accessible by car to Amsterdam and Lelystad.
Yet it is fair to also mention the downside. Amanda, a resident, writes on the neighbourhood page of Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord: "The neighbourhood has deteriorated enormously in terms of safety, a lot of nuisance from homeless people, addicts, crime, a lot of litter, noise nuisance, explosions." She adds that this nuisance does not come from the residents themselves, and mentions as plus points the proximity of shops, good public transport connections and the available amenities. The safety score of 4.0 out of 10 is therefore the lowest sub-score and a point that potential buyers must seriously consider.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Filmwijk Bouwrai Zuid and Filmwijk Midden, Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord has a somewhat more uneven profile: good accessibility and amenities, but more liveability problems. Those looking for a quieter atmosphere could also consider Filmwijk Noord or the southern parts of Filmwijk.
Who is a home in Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly appeals to young families and first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry point in a well-connected Almere residential area.

Keep in mind that supply is limited: on average, only a handful of homes are sold per quarter. Acting quickly pays off. If you are unsure whether buying is the right move now, you can also look at rental homes in Filmwijk Bouwrai Noord as an alternative. Be honest with yourself about the safety situation: it is a real point of concern that warrants at least a neighbourhood visit at different times of day.
