Living in Homeruskwartier Midden, Almere

Homeruskwartier Midden is one of the younger districts of Almere, largely developed in the 2000s and 2010s as part of the large-scale expansion of Almere Poort. The neighbourhood has the character of a planned family district: wide streets, spacious plots, plenty of greenery in the immediate vicinity and a mix of semi-detached houses, terraced houses and detached homes. Apartments are also present, but single-family homes dominate the streetscape. The architecture varies per block, giving the neighbourhood visual variety compared to older Almere districts.

The neighbourhood mainly attracts families with children, which is also visible in the figures: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 1,100 residents) and households with children form the largest category. You notice this in the atmosphere: it is quiet during the day, but lively on the streets after school. There are several primary schools within cycling distance, including schools in the nearby centre area of Almere Poort. Childcare and playgroups are well represented in the immediate vicinity.

For daily shopping, residents rely on the shopping centre of Almere Poort, a short bike ride away. There you will find, among other things, a supermarket, pharmacy and various shops for daily use. The city centre of Almere is accessible by bike or car within twenty minutes. Almere Poort train station is within walking distance for part of the neighbourhood, with direct connections to Amsterdam Central (around 25 minutes) and Utrecht. Bus services provide finer-grained connections within Almere. The connection to the A6 also makes the neighbourhood easily accessible by car towards Amsterdam and the rest of the Randstad.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, the space and the relatively new condition of the homes. One resident writes: "You really feel like you have space here, both inside and outside. The district is tidy and it's nice that everything is still relatively new." Criticisms that come up are the limited catering facilities in the neighbourhood itself and the fact that for a night out you still have to go to the centre of Almere or Amsterdam.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods, Homeruskwartier Midden has a similar character to Homeruskwartier Noord, but is slightly more central within the district in terms of location.

It pays to compare these neighbourhoods side by side if you are considering buying in this part of Almere.

Who is a home for sale in Homeruskwartier Midden interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly appeals to families looking for space, wanting a modern home and valuing a green, quiet living environment with good connections to Amsterdam. The average household income of €44,200 and the high labour participation rate of 73% fit an active, dual-earner population. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average selling price of almost €500,000 and a lower limit that quickly heads towards €300,000 for simpler homes, equity or a solid income is needed. Overbidding occurs in this segment, especially for well-priced single-family homes. Seniors, with 100 residents over 65, are barely represented, making the neighbourhood less focused on them. If you are unsure between buying and renting, you can also look at the rental homes in Homeruskwartier Midden as a temporary alternative.
