Living in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid: quiet family neighbourhood with a few caveats

Tussen de Vaarten Zuid is a neighbourhood best described as a typical Almere family neighbourhood from the 1990s: wide streets, plenty of green spaces, terraced houses and semi-detached homes. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. That says something about the atmosphere: it is quiet here, the neighbourhood is fairly straightforward, and people know each other. On the neighbourhood page of Tussen de Vaarten Zuid, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. Resident Michael describes it as a "good, neat neighbourhood" where neighbours greet each other, help out, and keep an eye on things. That sense of social control is appreciated. At the same time, there is also criticism: another resident misses amenities in the immediate vicinity; there is an Albert Heijn nearby, but a chemist or other daily shops are less easily accessible. And a third review points to nuisance from a specific family that has been causing unrest in the neighbourhood for years, with behaviour that makes residents feel unsafe. To be fair: the safety score stands at 7.2, which is acceptable but not outstanding.

In terms of green spaces, the neighbourhood scores well, with a 7.5. That matches the picture: there are several parks and water features in and around the neighbourhood, characteristic of Almere. Children can play outside; there is space. For schools, the score is 8.0, and several primary schools are accessible within the neighbourhood or a short bike ride away. The sub-neighbourhood Tussen de Vaarten Zuid-Noordoost and the southwestern sub-neighbourhood each have their own character; it pays to look per sub-area at what is available.

Accessibility scores a 7.0. Tussen de Vaarten Zuid is located in Almere Buiten, with good connections via the A6 towards Amsterdam and Lelystad. By train, you travel from Almere Buiten station to Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Bus services run through the neighbourhood and connect to the centre of Almere. For those who commute daily to the Randstad, this is a workable location. The neighbourhood borders the business park Het Atelier and the wooded area Sallandsebos, each offering a different living environment.

Who is a home in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid suitable for?

Living in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid mainly attracts families and movers looking for space at a reasonable price compared to the Randstad. With an average sale price of over €480,000, this is no longer a starter neighbourhood. First-time buyers with a limited budget would do well to keep an eye on the range: homes are also sold from €275,000. Bear in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, consider the rental homes in Tussen de Vaarten Zuid as a temporary alternative.
