Living in Golfresort, Lelystad
Golfresort is no ordinary Lelystad neighbourhood. It is a deliberately designed residential area that literally borders a golf course and the Zuigerplasbos, with the IJsselmeer within walking distance. The homes are predominantly detached or semi-detached, built in a period when space and tranquillity were guiding principles. Large plots, wide streets, little traffic and plenty of greenery define the atmosphere. You don't live here in a city; you live in a landscape that happens to have addresses.
Resident Melinda, who has lived in the neighbourhood for four years, describes it aptly: "So wonderfully quiet with the Zuigerplasbos as a back garden. Lovely walking the dogs along the IJsselmeer or into the woods." That sense of space and nature is not marketing speak; it is the daily reality for the 1,245 residents of this neighbourhood. The resident score for Golfresort stands at 8.4 out of 10, with highs for safety (10.0), greenery (9.0) and housing (9.0). Accessibility and amenities score somewhat lower, at 7.0 and 7.0 respectively, which is fair: this is not a neighbourhood where you quickly pop to the shops on the corner.
For daily amenities, you rely on other parts of Kustwijk or Lelystad city centre. The nearest supermarkets and shops are a short drive away. By car, the N302 quickly connects to the A6 towards Amsterdam or Almere. Lelystad does not have an NS station in the immediate vicinity of Golfresort; Lelystad Centrum station is accessible by bike or car and offers connections to Amsterdam Centraal in around 45 minutes. Bus services are available but limited, making the car the primary mode of transport for most residents in practice.
The resident composition is notably homogeneous: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (445 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (265). Young families and first-time buyers are scarce. The average income is €54,400, significantly higher than the Lelystad average of €34,700, and 45% of residents have a higher education degree. This paints a picture of a neighbourhood of established, often dual-income households or retirees who consciously chose peace and space over urban proximity.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Golfpark Lommerrijk or Noordzoom Oost, Golfresort has a more exclusive character, both in terms of price level and atmosphere. Neighbourhoods like Karveel Oost and Karveel West are more affordably priced and more family-friendly in design. Those seeking more urban vibrancy might also consider Boswijk or Atolwijk. More information about the neighbourhood, resident reviews and current district data can be found on the Golfresort neighbourhood main page.
Who is a home in Golfresort suitable for?
Buying in Golfresort is reserved for a specific buyer: someone who values peace, space and nature over urban convenience. Upsizers and seniors looking for a spacious home with a large plot will find what they are looking for here. First-time buyers and young families on a limited budget are out of luck here: the entry price of €625,000 and the scarce supply of seven sales per year make this a tight market. Be prepared for limited room for negotiation. Those who want more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Golfresort, although that segment, at 3% of the stock, is extremely small. More choice in the area is offered by homes for sale in Kustwijk as a whole.
