Living in Rietmeent en Dijkmeent, Almere

Rietmeent en Dijkmeent are two street names that together form one quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the oldest part of Almere: Almere Haven. The neighbourhood exudes the character of the early Almere years, with low terraced houses from the late 1970s and early 1980s, front gardens on the street side, and plenty of greenery in between. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain peace and order that many residents appreciate.

The location is favourable for those who want to live not too far from water and nature. The Weerwater and Almeerderstrand are within cycling distance, and the green structure of Almere Haven ensures you are never far from a park or playground. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, but that need not be a problem: the shopping centre of Almere Haven, with supermarkets, shops and eateries, is within walking distance. For a wider range, the city centre of Almere Stad is easily accessible.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores reasonably well. Almere Haven station is a few minutes' cycle away and offers direct connections to Amsterdam (around 25 minutes), Utrecht and Lelystad. By car, the A6 is quickly reachable via the main roads of Almere Haven. Bus services run through the district and connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Almere Haven and the train station.

The neighbourhood has around 695 residents, with a notably large group aged 45 to 65 (195 people). There are also relatively many over-65s (140). That says something about the character: this is not a neighbourhood full of young families with children, although the 0-15 age group (115 children) indicates that families certainly live here too. Single-person households are the largest category (150), which fits the mix of smaller homes and a somewhat older population structure.

Residents appreciate the peace and the proximity of greenery and water. On the neighbourhood page of Rietmeent en Dijkmeent you can read resident reviews with scores per category. One resident writes: "It's just quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children can play outside safely. Not exciting, but that's exactly what we were looking for." Criticisms sometimes concern the outdated appearance of some homes and the limited range of shops directly in the neighbourhood itself. Compared to neighbouring communities such as Jaagmeent en Grasmeent and Schapenmeent en Terpmeent, the atmosphere is similar, but the exact housing mix and street layout give each neighbourhood its own character.

Does an owner-occupied home in Rietmeent en Dijkmeent suit you as a buyer?
