Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats, Almere

Living in Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats

Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats is urban but not overwhelming, and most of its 32 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.

With just 1,103 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

Almere is the Netherlands' youngest city — planned, spacious and car-friendly, with newer housing stock than almost anywhere else in the country. Many residents commute: Amsterdam is around 25 minutes by train, which is exactly the trade many buyers here have chosen.

The housing market in Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats

At €506,000 average WOZ value, Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats ranks 19 out of 164 Almere neighborhoods on price — 45% above the city median. That premium is the location speaking. For scale: Almere's cheapest buurt averages €130,000 and its most expensive €1,212,000, so Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats sits in the upper band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2022 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €439,000 to €554,000, up 26% — roughly in step with the rest of the city. WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

Ownership is split: 63% owner-occupied against 38% rental. Enough homes trade hands to give you comparable sales, but check what's actually for sale versus rented in the specific block you're eyeing — the mix can flip from one street to the next.

Who lives here

Demographically, Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (36% of its 115 residents), followed by 25-to-45 year olds at 26%. More than half of all households (60%) are single-person — this is a neighborhood of independents, not minivans. The average household counts 1.6 people.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: plan your groceries: the nearest large supermarket is 1.2 km away; this is not a going-out neighborhood — the cafés are elsewhere.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 14 min walk · GP 14 min · hospital 3.9 km · library 3.6 km · 1 cinema within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 16 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (3 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 6-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is a 5-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; a highway on-ramp 1.5 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; households here average 1.6 cars, so assume driveways and parking are part of daily logistics.

Energy and running costs

Since 88% of the stock predates 2000, always check the energy label of a specific listing — the difference between label C and label F on an average home here is easily a few thousand euros a year in heating, and it changes what you can sensibly bid.

Before you bid in Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats

Before you bid in Bedrijventerrein Felsersplaats: in a premium buurt the risk isn't buying a bad home, it's overpaying for a good one — anchor your bid on recent sales of comparable homes, not on the asking price.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
