Living in Vogelhorst Noord, Almere
Vogelhorst Noord has a very distinct character within Almere. The neighbourhood borders the Almeerderhout, a vast forested area, and you notice that as soon as you walk around. Wide, quiet streets, large plots, mature planting and virtually no through traffic. It feels more like a villa village than a city district. The homes were mainly built in the 1980s and 1990s, with spacious gardens and driveways. Architecturally, there is more variation than in many other Almere neighbourhoods: from classic white-rendered villas to more modern designs with lots of glass.
The population composition matches the type of homes. With 555 residents, it is a small neighbourhood, and the largest group is 45 to 65 years old (210 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (195 people). Young families with children are in the minority here. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is quiet, the neighbours know each other, and there is little turnover. More than half of the households are married, and most households are without children at home.
For daily shopping, you quickly drive to the Tussen de Vaarten shopping centre or to the facilities in Almere Haven, five to ten minutes away. A GP, pharmacy and primary schools are accessible in the surrounding districts. Sporty Almere offers plenty of opportunities in the immediate vicinity: the Almeerderhout is excellent for running and mountain biking, and the nearby golf course is part of the identity of the wider Vogelhorst district. On the Vogelhorst Noord neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews with concrete experiences about facilities and atmosphere.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is heavily car-oriented. The A6 is reachable within a few minutes, and Almere city centre is about ten to fifteen minutes by car. Almere Buiten station is about five minutes away by bike or car, from where you can reach Amsterdam Central by train in about twenty minutes. Bus connections are available but limited in frequency, so without a car you live somewhat more isolated here.
Residents most appreciate the peace and space. One resident writes: "You live here in the middle of greenery, yet you are in Amsterdam within fifteen minutes. That combination is unmatched elsewhere." Criticisms sometimes concern the limited walking distance to shops and the fact that you need the car for almost everything. Those who compare with Vogelhorst Zuid or the Bosgebied Vogelhorst notice that Vogelhorst Noord ranks highest within the district in terms of price level and exclusivity. The wider district Vogelhorst has a similar green appearance, but Vogelhorst Noord has the largest plots and the highest average selling prices.
Who is a home for sale in Vogelhorst Noord interesting for?
Vogelhorst Noord is clearly not a starter neighbourhood. With an entry price from €825,000 and an average of over €1.1 million, as a buyer you need substantial equity or a high income. The average household income in the neighbourhood is €61,700, significantly higher than the Almere average of €38,200. The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers, empty-nesters and dual-income couples who want space and peace without completely letting go of the city. Seniors who want to downsize but still live in a luxury environment also find their place here. Be aware that supply is limited: only 16 homes were sold in the past year. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. If you find the owner-occupied market too expensive here or want to explore, also check the rental properties in Vogelhorst Noord as a temporary alternative.
