Living in Filmwijk Midden, Almere

Filmwijk Midden has a distinct residential character. The neighbourhood was developed in the 1990s as part of Almere Stad and has the thematic layout that characterises the entire Filmwijk: streets and squares are named after film directors, actors and film studios. This gives the neighbourhood a slight twist, but in practice it is simply a quiet, green residential area with spacious plots and many detached and semi-detached houses. Terraced houses are also present, but here they are generally spaced further apart than in the average Almeerse district.

The homes were predominantly built between 1990 and 2005, with recognisable architecture ranging from traditional brick facades to more contemporary designs. The gardens are generous, the streets are wide, and there is relatively much public green space in the form of canals, green strips and playgrounds. Those seeking peace and space without living far from the city will find it here.

For daily shopping, the Filmwijk shopping centre is within cycling distance, featuring a supermarket and various shops for everyday needs. Larger shopping centres such as the Stadshart of Almere can be reached by bike in about twenty minutes, or by bus in a similar time. For schoolchildren, there are primary schools in and around the neighbourhood; secondary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity of Almere Stad.

In terms of accessibility, Filmwijk Midden benefits from its location near the A6 motorway, making Amsterdam Muiderpoort reachable by car in about 35 minutes.

The residents of Filmwijk Midden are predominantly between 45 and 65 years old (the largest age group), with a significant proportion of families with children. Nearly half of the households are married. That says something about the atmosphere: it is a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time, where children grow up, and where neighbours know each other. Turnover is low, which also explains why only 20 homes are sold per year.

On the neighbourhood main page of Filmwijk Midden you will find resident reviews and scores per category. Residents mention peace and space as major plus points.
