Find Rental Homes in Almere
Almere is the Netherlands' youngest city, built on reclaimed Flevoland polder land starting in the 1970s. Designed as an overflow city for Amsterdam, it has grown into one of the country's largest municipalities with a character all its own. Wide streets, abundant green space, and modern architecture give Almere a suburban feel uncommon in the Netherlands. With the Almere Centrum development and new Floriade-inspired areas, the city is maturing into more than just a commuter town.
