Living in Staatsliedenwijk: a working-class neighbourhood with good schools and an active street
Staatsliedenwijk is located in Almere Haven, the oldest district of Almere. You can tell by the atmosphere: the streets are narrower than in the newer neighbourhoods, the trees are mature, and the buildings have a bit more character than the average Almere expansion neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is named after statesmen and consists of three sub-areas: Staatsliedenwijk Midden, Staatsliedenwijk Oost and Staatsliedenwijk West. The population is young and mixed: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and there are relatively many single-person households.
Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.9 on the neighbourhood page of Staatsliedenwijk, where you can also read all sub-scores and reviews. Education (9.5) and housing (9.0) score notably high. In terms of education, there are several primary schools within walking distance, including schools in the direct catchment area of Almere Haven. For secondary education, Laar & Berg and Stedelijk College Almere are easily accessible. Amenities score slightly lower (6.5): the neighbourhood has a local supermarket and there are shops along the Hogering and in the centre of Almere Haven within cycling distance, but a large shopping centre nearby is lacking. Resident Waad has been living there for a year with great satisfaction, although he says he is still getting to know the neighbourhood. Another resident, Fleur, notes a drawback regarding the playgrounds: loitering youths on scooters sometimes block the cycle path and are also present late in the evening. That is honestly a point that comes up more often in older urban neighbourhoods with a lot of social housing.
Accessibility is reasonably good. Almere Haven station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Amsterdam Central (about 35 minutes) and Utrecht. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Almere and surrounding areas. Via the A6 you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or Lelystad. Green space scores an 8.0: the neighbourhood borders the Almeerderhout, a large forest area that is directly accessible from the neighbourhood. Similar neighbourhoods in the area are De Werven, De Hoven and Centrum Almere Haven, each with its own character within the same district. The municipality of Almere has more information about living and amenities in the various districts on almere.nl.
