Living in Gooisekant: a neighbourhood with a specific profile
Gooisekant is not your average residential area. With only 155 residents and a housing stock of 6 registered units, this is an exceptionally small community within Almere. The population composition is striking: the largest group of residents falls in the 25 to 45 age category, and single-person households are by far the most dominant, with 130 out of 155 residents. Only 3% of residents are married. That tells you something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not a classic family area with playgrounds and primary schools on every corner, but a place where young, independent residents live.
On the neighbourhood page for Gooisekant you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents emphasise the relative peace the neighbourhood offers compared to busier parts of Almere. The location near water and greenery is mentioned positively, although some reviews also point to the limited local amenities in the immediate vicinity. For daily shopping, schools and sports facilities, you rely on the wider Almere Haven area. The shopping centre of Almere Haven, with supermarkets and shops, is within cycling distance. For a wider range, you head to Almere city centre.
In terms of accessibility, Gooisekant benefits from its location in Almere Haven, which has its own train station: Almere Haven station. From there, you can reach Amsterdam Central in about 25 minutes. The connection to the A6 also makes car travel quick towards Amsterdam or Lelystad. Sub-areas such as Gooisekant Oost and Gooisekant West each have their own character, and it is worth exploring both before making a choice. The municipality of Almere is actively investing in the development of Haven; more information about plans and facilities can be found at almere.nl.
For whom is buying in Gooisekant a good choice?
Given the dominance of single-person households and the 25 to 45 age group, Gooisekant best suits starters and young professionals who want space without paying the highest Almere prices. The average home size of 130 m² offers more for your money than in many other neighbourhoods. But be honest about the limitations: supply is scarce, making overbidding realistic. In addition to the purchase price, also factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and possible estate agent fees. Want to compare more options?
