Living in Indischebuurt: a neighbourhood in motion, with its own rhythm

Indischebuurt in Almere Haven is a neighbourhood you don't immediately notice when driving through, but you understand better once you've lived there for a while. The streets are named after Indonesian islands and cities, a legacy of the planners who built Almere Haven in the 1980s. The housing stock largely consists of terraced houses and multi-family flats from that period, interspersed with some newer infill. It's not a trendy neighbourhood, but neither is it a forgotten corner. On the Indischebuurt neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves think: they appreciate the peace and green layout, but are more critical of the maintenance of public spaces and parking pressure on busy evenings. One resident writes about the atmosphere: "It's an ordinary neighbourhood, neighbours greet each other, children play outside. Not spectacular, but pleasant." That says enough really.

In practical terms, the neighbourhood is reasonably well-equipped. For daily shopping, you rely on the supermarkets in and around the centre of Almere Haven, within walking distance or a short bike ride. Primary schools are nearby, which suits the relatively young population: the 25 to 45 age group, with 1,410 residents, is by far the largest age group. There is plenty of green space in the form of parks and waterways characteristic of Almere Haven. Sports clubs and playgrounds are accessible within the neighbourhood or in adjacent areas. The neighbourhood is divided into two parts: Indische Buurt Oost and Indische Buurt West, each with a slightly different character in terms of building density and green structure.

Accessibility is a strong point of Almere Haven in general. Almere Haven station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Amsterdam Central, with a travel time of about 25 minutes. The A6 is quickly reachable via the harbour. Bus services connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Almere and other districts. For those who commute daily to Amsterdam or Utrecht, this is a serious advantage. More information about the municipality can be found on the Almere municipality website.

Who is a home for sale in Indischebuurt suitable for?

Indischebuurt mainly attracts first-time buyers and young families who want to buy in Almere without immediately paying top dollar. With an entry price from €190,000 and an average well below the Almere average, buying in Indischebuurt is more affordable than in neighbourhoods like Centrum Almere Haven or De Werven. However, do take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees, and possible renovation costs for older homes from the 1980s. If you're still unsure whether buying is the right step, you can also look at rental homes in Indischebuurt as an alternative.
