NeighbourhoodThis apartment on H.C. Pootstraat sits in a quiet part of Hengelo, with a shopping centre just around the corner. At 75 m² it is compact, and with energy label F you can expect higher heating costs. The asking price of €209,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,946 per m², partly because the home is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Hengelo vary widely in size and price.

I think it falls under the middle class. There are mainly terraced houses and some - not too tall - apartment blocks. There is a nice shopping centre, and I hope the vacant shops will be filled. Generally, there is little contact between neighbours, but you do get greeted. Currently, a lot is being done in the neighbourhood to make it even nicer and more pleasant, which is good. A 10-minute walk from the meadows, so walking is also enjoyable here.

About H.C. Pootstraat 26, Hengelo
The asking price of €209,000 works out at about €2,787 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €2,946 per m² for homes currently for sale. However, the apartment is 30% smaller than the local average (75 m² vs 107 m²), and its energy label F means higher running costs. Compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €334,000, the price is on the low side, but those homes were larger and likely more efficient.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have labels B or C, so this apartment will have higher heating costs. You should budget for significant energy bills, though the exact amount depends on usage and future insulation improvements.
