How to find an apartment or room in Almere
HubSnap brings rentals and homes for sale in Almere from Dutch housing sites and agencies into one app and alerts you when a listing matches the search you save.
Then create a Almere search profile so new matches can alert you.
Why Almere
Young, fast-growing city in Flevoland with direct trains to Amsterdam. Many people move here for more space than they can find in Amsterdam.
Where people search in Almere
Almere has several districts with their own centre: Almere Stad, Almere Buiten, Almere Haven and Almere Poort. Almere Stad and Almere Poort have the most apartments; Almere Buiten and Haven have more family homes.
Study and work
Many residents work in Amsterdam or elsewhere in the Randstad and commute by train or car. Families often move here for a larger home or a garden.
How a search becomes an alert
1. Save a search

2. HubSnap scores new listings
New private-market listings are scored on city, price, and rooms.
3. Push on match
When a listing matches, you get an in-app push, not WhatsApp. Premium (€29.99/month) and the 3-day Premium trial send that push in real time. Free alerts exist and are delayed 30 minutes.
What we cover in Almere
In Almere, HubSnap watches rentals and homes for sale from Dutch housing sites, agencies and the regional social-housing portal.
HubSnap is not a broker and does not list homes itself. Confirm details and apply on the original listing.
What we do not cover
HubSnap does not search ROOM, DUWO, or SSH. Social housing from WoningNet Almere, the portal for Almere, is included and clearly labelled, but you need a registration with WoningNet Almere to respond.
From abroad
You can set the Almere search before you arrive. Alerts go to the app, not WhatsApp.

Social housing in Almere
