Living in Homeruskwartier Zuid: self-build, young families and a unique character

Homeruskwartier Zuid is not your average Almere neighbourhood. The area is part of the larger Homeruskwartier, a district that became nationally known as one of the largest self-build projects in the Netherlands. This is reflected in the streetscape: no two houses are the same. From sleek cubic designs to homes with wooden facades or striking colour accents, architecture is the calling card here. The neighbourhood was largely built from the late 2000s and the 2010s, so everything still looks fresh and modern.

With 2,430 residents, it is a compact neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (1,055 people), and there are many families with children (480 households). You notice this: children play outside during the day, there is a primary school in the immediate vicinity, and playgrounds are plentiful. The percentage of married people is relatively low at 27%, which fits the young and diverse character of the neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, to be honest: Homeruskwartier Zuid is not a shopping area. For daily groceries, you drive or cycle to the Almere Poort shopping centre on Olympiakade, where you will find an Albert Heijn and various specialist shops. Larger shopping needs are met in Almere Centrum or Almere Stad. There are small-scale facilities in the neighbourhood itself, such as a GP practice and childcare. The Cascadepark, directly south of the neighbourhood, offers space for walking and playing. Sports facilities can be found at, among others, sport park De Buitenvaart, within cycling distance.

Accessibility is reasonable. Station Almere Poort is about a ten-minute bike ride away and takes you to Amsterdam Zuid in about twenty minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A6. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the rest of Almere, although frequency is limited outside peak hours. Residents cite peace and space as major plus points, but the dependence on the car for amenities is often mentioned as a downside. One resident wrote: "The architecture is fantastic and you really have space here, but for a simple errand you still have to take the car." On the neighbourhood page of Homeruskwartier Zuid you can read all reviews and scores from residents.

Compared to Homeruskwartier Noord, the southern part is slightly more affordable, while the middle section sits in between in terms of price level. Homeruskwartier Oost attracts a similar audience but has a slightly different streetscape. Within the broader Homeruskwartier, Zuid is the most accessible option for buyers who want to experience the self-build character without the highest budget.
