Description
Living inside and outside the dikes with a view of the harbour and, around the corner, plenty of opportunities for shopping and entertainment. All this in a historical, yet modern ambience. In a nutshell, Batavia Haven, situated on the Markermeer north of Lelystad. The cornerstone of the plan is a new marina and harbour for passers-by, surrounded by 450 homes in a wide diversity of types - from spacious penthouses and apartments to town houses and dwellings for living and working at home. Besides the harbour itself, the harbour area consists of a promenade situated on the sunny southwest side, with shops and outdoor cafes. The first residential block built has a quiet inner area with a raised inner garden enclosed by buildings, exclusively for occupants. Beneath the raised inner garden is a built-up parking facility for residents. The historised architecture with characteristic towers, alleys and narrow city streets gives Batavia Haven an aura of urban grandeur. The museum boats and yachts in the harbour, along with the many shops and catering firms, make it a lively place that also appeals to tourists and day trippers.
