Living in Filmwijk Bouwrai Zuid, Almere
Anyone visiting Filmwijk Bouwrai Zuid for the first time is immediately struck by the space. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s and 1990s, in the typical Almere style of that period: wide street profiles, plenty of greenery in public spaces, and homes with generous plots by Flevoland standards. There are mainly detached houses and semi-detached houses, with the occasional terraced house. The architecture is varied enough not to feel monotonous, but the streetscape is recognisably Almere-Stad.
The atmosphere is quiet and residential. You hear little through traffic, children play in the street, and most people know their immediate neighbours. At the same time, it is not a neighbourhood where much happens on the street itself: for shops, dining and entertainment, you rely on Almere City Centre or the Filmwijk shopping centre, which is within cycling distance. Daily groceries can be done at the supermarkets along Laan van de Landdrost or in the nearby shopping centre. For schools, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including those serving Filmwijk, and secondary schools are easily accessible by bike or public transport.
Accessibility is a strong point of this neighbourhood. Almere Centrum station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, from where you can reach Amsterdam Centraal in about twenty-five minutes by intercity train. By car, the A6 is quickly accessible, making connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Lelystad smooth. Within Almere, several bus routes run through the neighbourhood.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. One resident writes: "Lovely quiet neighbourhood, lots of greenery and the neighbours are involved without being intrusive. For Amsterdam, it's a good travel time." Criticism sometimes focuses on the lack of liveliness within walking distance and the limited dining options in the immediate vicinity.
