Living in Overgooi, Almere

Overgooi is not an ordinary Almere neighbourhood. Those who live here consciously choose peace, space and privacy, in a location that is also easily accessible. The neighbourhood lies on the Gooimeer and largely consists of large plots with detached villas, designed in a variety of architectural styles. No two houses are the same. The streets are wide, green and quiet. You hardly hear any traffic here, see few people on the street, and that is exactly what residents appreciate.

The buildings mainly date from the 1990s and early 2000s, when Overgooi was developed as a prestigious residential location on the edge of Almere Buiten. The homes are large, the gardens are large, and the public space has been carefully laid out. The Gooimeer offers direct opportunities for water sports and walking along the water. There are no supermarkets or shops within the neighbourhood itself. This was a deliberate choice in the design: Overgooi is a residential area, not a shopping area.

For daily groceries, you drive to Almere Buiten, where supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo can be found, about five to ten minutes away. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity are located in adjacent neighbourhoods of Almere Buiten. Sports facilities and clubs are accessible via the nearby districts. The neighbourhood borders the Cirkelbos, a large recreational forest area. Cirkelbos has a very different character, with more variety in housing types and a slightly more accessible price level.

In terms of accessibility, Overgooi scores well for motorists. Via the A6 you are quickly towards Amsterdam or Utrecht. The centre of Almere is about ten minutes away by car. Almere Buiten station is a few kilometres away and offers direct intercity connections to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Public transport from the neighbourhood itself is more limited; for daily public transport use, you almost always need a car or bicycle to reach the station.

Residents describe Overgooi as a place where you can truly unwind. On the Overgooi neighbourhood page you can read what people specifically write about it. One resident put it this way: "It is incredibly quiet and green here, you forget that you live in Almere. The neighbours know each other, but everyone also respects each other's privacy." Points of criticism that come up are the limited public transport options and the lack of local amenities within the neighbourhood. If you are used to having everything within walking distance, you have to let that go here.

Compared to Waterlandse Tuinen, Windhoek and Schapenbos, another neighbourhood in the same district, Overgooi is more exclusive and quieter. The Overgooi district as a whole is known for its high-quality living environment, but the Overgooi neighbourhood itself represents the absolute top of that.

Is buying in Overgooi for you?

Overgooi mainly attracts affluent families and home-movers who consciously choose space, peace and a representative home. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, 68% are highly educated and the average income is €81,400 per year, more than double the Almere average. First-time buyers and young buyers will rarely end up here: prices start at €950,000 and supply is scarce. Be honest with yourself about your budget and prepare for limited room for negotiation, because homes in this segment are rarely on the market for long. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Overgooi should look elsewhere: this is par excellence a neighbourhood for large ground-based homes. For a wider range within Almere, you can also look at homes for sale in Almere as a whole.
