What does Faunabuurt Zuidwest offer?
Almere built itself from scratch into a city of 220,000 people in just three decades, so you'll find plenty of homes from the 1980s and 1990s alongside newer neighbourhoods with contemporary design. The population is young and diverse, and your neighbours will likely come from dozens of countries. Many families choose Almere because you get real space for your money, and trains to Amsterdam leave every fifteen minutes. It's not a city of old charm and winding streets, but it's a place where you put down roots quickly because everyone here was once new too.
