Living in Vogelhorst: green, quiet and a conscious choice
Vogelhorst is located in the greenest part of Almere Haven, nestled between the Almeerderbos and the golf course. Those who live here have usually done so deliberately. The neighbourhood exudes tranquillity, the streets are wide, the gardens large and the building density low. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Vogelhorst regularly describe the atmosphere as 'villa park in the greenery'. What comes back in reviews is the silence and the sense of space, but also the honest caveat that you really take the car for daily shopping. One resident writes: 'You live here as if you are outside the city, but Almere Haven is just around the corner.' That sums it up well.
In terms of amenities, Vogelhorst itself is modestly equipped, which suits the neighbourhood. There are no supermarkets or shops in the neighbourhood itself. For daily shopping you drive to the centre of Almere Haven, about five minutes away. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity can be found in Almere Haven, including the schools on Laan der Continenten. The proximity of the Almeerderbos makes the neighbourhood popular with walkers and cyclists. The adjacent Vogelhorst-Golfbaan Almeerderhout literally offers a golf course within walking distance. Bosgebied Vogelhorst also borders directly on the neighbourhood and is popular for recreation.
Accessibility by car is good. Via the A6 you are in Amsterdam or Utrecht within twenty minutes. Almere Haven station is about ten minutes away by bike and offers direct intercity connections to Amsterdam Centraal and Lelystad. The neighbourhood is less well served by bus, which residents sometimes mention as a drawback, especially for teenagers without a driving licence. Those looking at alternatives in the region can also consider De Werven or De Hoven, neighbourhoods with a similar green character but a different price level. More urban options can be found in the Centre of Almere Haven.
Who is a home for sale in Vogelhorst suitable for?
Vogelhorst mainly attracts movers and families in the 45 to 65 age category, which is also visible in the population data: 610 of the 1,605 residents fall into that group. The average income is €49,600, but the house prices require considerable equity or a high mortgage. First-time buyers and young families will find it difficult to find an affordable home here. Also do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for homes above the NHG limit), notary fees and any renovation costs quickly add up at this price level. Anyone wanting to buy in Vogelhorst would do well to enlist a buying agent, given the limited supply. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Vogelhorst as an interim option. The municipality of Almere also offers information on housing policy and starter schemes at almere.nl.
