Living in Molenbuurt Oost: a quiet family neighbourhood in Almere Haven

Molenbuurt Oost is one of the older residential neighbourhoods of Almere Haven, largely built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The homes are recognisable: brick terraced houses with front and back gardens, wide pavements and plenty of greenery in the streets. It is a quiet, somewhat village-like neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and children play outside. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (605 residents), but there are also many families with children (360 households). You notice this in the atmosphere: it is lively during the day, but quiet in the evenings.

In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Winkelcentrum De Molenbuurt is within walking distance and offers a supermarket, bakery and various small shops for daily groceries. For a larger selection, you can cycle to the centre of Almere Haven in five minutes, which includes an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various eateries by the harbour. There are plenty of schools in the immediate vicinity: primary schools such as De Waterhoek and De Regenboog are within the neighbourhood or just outside. For secondary education, children have to go to Almere Stad, but that is easily doable by bus.

Accessibility is reasonable. Bus lines towards Almere Centrum station and Almere Haven stop in the neighbourhood, and by car you can quickly reach the A6 via the Hogering. Almere Haven station is within cycling distance (about ten minutes) and takes you to Amsterdam in half an hour. What residents often mention is the lack of a train station within easy walking distance. "You are always dependent on the bus or bike to get to the station," writes a resident on the page of Molenbuurt Oost. At the same time, many people appreciate the peace and greenery. There are several playgrounds and the Noorderplassengebied is accessible by bike for a longer walk.

Compared to Molenbuurt West, the eastern part is slightly more expensive in terms of WOZ value, but the homes are similar in type and construction period. If you are looking for more hustle and bustle or a more urban character, you might prefer the centre of Almere Haven. Molenbuurt Oost is truly a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit community.
