Living in Stommeer, Aalsmeer

Stommeer is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Aalsmeer, directly bordering the Westeinderplas. Those who live here have water and nature literally around the corner. Resident Ria Scheewe describes it aptly: "It's a nice neighbourhood with the Westeinderplas around the corner. Beautiful nature. And peace. Little nuisance from aircraft. Green and trees on your doorstep. Safe traffic situation. Child and dog friendly." Wilma also recognises that feeling, writing about the greenery in the neighbourhood and the former bus station that has now become a pleasant green spot.

The housing stock largely consists of homes from the 1970s and 1980s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of detached homes, supplemented by a few apartment blocks along the main roads. The streetscape is clear and quiet, with plenty of greenery between the homes. The neighbourhood has a mixed population composition: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but seniors (65+) are also well represented. This colours the character of Stommeer: it is not a bustling young neighbourhood, but a place where people have lived for years and appreciate the peace.

For daily shopping, you rely on the centre of Aalsmeer, which is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets, shops and the cosy village centre that Ria describes as "always in motion" with water sports and activities. Stommeer itself does not have a large shopping centre, but this is compensated by the direct proximity of the lake and the green surroundings. Primary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity of the neighbourhood. The resident score for education is 7.7, indicating that families are satisfied with it.

In terms of accessibility, Stommeer scores slightly lower: the partial score for accessibility is 6.7. Aalsmeer does not have its own train station; the nearest stations are Hoofddorp and Schiphol, accessible by bus or car. From Stommeer, you drive via the N201 towards the A4 or A9, making Amsterdam and Schiphol easily accessible. By car, you can reach Amsterdam in about twenty minutes. Bus connections run towards Hoofddorp and Amstelveen. For daily commuting by public transport, this does require some planning.

Compared to neighbouring area Centrum, Stommeer is quieter and greener, but also slightly further from direct amenities. Hornmeer and Uiterweg are other neighbourhoods in the district with their own character. For those who want to compare more neighbourhood information, the page Stommeer brings together all resident reviews and district data.

Not everything is entirely positive. Resident Carla gives a lower score and writes about the lack of social contacts on the street. She experiences cultural diversity as a barrier to mutual contact. Also, the housing supply for downsizers who want to live smaller is a pain point: those moving from large to small find that this can be financially disadvantageous. This is a real signal for buyers who want to enter or move up in Stommeer.

Is an owner-occupied home in Stommeer right for you?

Stommeer mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over who appreciate peace, greenery and water over an urban environment. The average sale price of nearly €580,000 makes the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers, although the lower end of the market (from €315,000) still offers entry opportunities, likely for smaller apartments. Upsizers looking for a more spacious home with outdoor space will find good options here. Keep in mind that supply is limited: 37 homes were sold in the past year, which is relatively few. Overbidding is not unusual in this market. Those who prefer to rent can also look at rental homes in Stommeer, where 40% of the stock consists of rental properties.

Accessibility, community and amenities score slightly lower, all at 6.7. Ria Scheewe writes: "Little nuisance from aircraft. Green and trees on your doorstep. Safe traffic situation. Child and dog friendly." That contrast with the lower accessibility score says a lot about the neighbourhood: it is nice to live in, but you are dependent on your own transport.
