A compact apartment in the heart of Hengelo
This apartment on Molenstraat 10C sits in the middle of Hengelo's Binnenstad Centrum, a lively spot where the city's pulse is always close by. Built in 1949, it carries the character of its era, and with an energy label D you can expect moderate energy costs. The asking price of €195,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €417,000, a gap that reflects the home's compact size and older construction. For context, the average asking price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €4,232, while this home comes in at €2,167 per square metre based on the BAG registration. If you are weighing your options, it is worth comparing with other apartments in Hengelo to see how this one fits the local market.
The home itself
The listing does not provide details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space, so the picture is limited to what is known from public records. According to the BAG registration, the living area is 90 square metres, which gives a sense of the space on offer. The year of construction, 1949, is a fact of the building's history, and the energy label D indicates the home's energy performance as officially recorded. Beyond these basics, the agent has not shared further specifications about the interior or installations, so the full character of the home remains to be discovered in person.
Life in Binnenstad Centrum
Binnenstad Centrum is a compact urban neighbourhood with around 1,250 residents, and it has a distinctly young, single-oriented feel: 74% of households are single-person, and 43% of residents are between 25 and 45. The streets are busy with the comings and goings of city life, and the housing stock reflects the area's pre-war roots, with 80% of homes built between 1945 and 1970. Residents across the municipality of Hengelo give their living environment an average score of 7.74, based on 34 reviews. One resident says: "For me, it's very nice to live in." Another notes: "It's quite quiet to live, nice neighbours." A third adds: "A snug rural area, despite being close to the motorway, almost never bothered by the noise. Lots of nature and wildlife around us. And friendly neighbours." These are municipal-level impressions, so they speak to Hengelo as a whole rather than this specific neighbourhood. The Binnenstad Centrum neighbourhood itself is a place where the city's energy is tangible, with the station and shops just steps away.
Amenities and transport
The daily routine here is remarkably convenient. An AH to go is on your doorstep for quick groceries, while Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn are just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For primary education, KBS de Wheele is about a ten-minute walk, and Het Twickel College Borne serves secondary students a similar distance away. The nearest GP, Huisartsenpraktijk de Poort van Borne, is a bit further out, but the pharmacy, Apotheek de Vries, is just around the corner, and ZGT Hengelo hospital is a ten-minute walk. Public transport is excellent: the Hengelo Centraal Station bus stop, with lines 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 51, 53, 65, and 810, is on your doorstep, and the Hengelo train station is just around the corner. All of this sits within the municipality of Hengelo, a town that balances urban convenience with a relaxed Twente character.
WOZ and address data
This listing does not include a WOZ value, so there is no municipal valuation to compare with the asking price. The address-level risk data, based on public sources like Atlas Leefomgeving and the Klimaateffectatlas, gives an indication for the area rather than an inspection of this specific home. Noise from road traffic is measured at 43 dB Lden, which stays below the norm, as does railway noise at 41 dB and industrial noise at 45 dB. The foundation risk indication is low, with sandy soil and a construction year of 1949. For climate, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, while current flood risk is low and expected to remain low by 2050; heat stress is currently low but could rise to medium by 2050.

Frequently asked questions
About Molenstraat 10C, Hengelo
How does the asking price compare with other homes in the neighbourhood?
The asking price of €195,000 is 53% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €417,000, which the data describes as keen. Per square metre, the price is €2,167 based on the BAG living area of 90 m², compared with a neighbourhood average of €4,232 per m². This reflects the home's compact size and older construction, but the price verdict is precomputed against the average, so it is a factual comparison rather than a judgement.
What is the living area of this apartment?
According to the BAG registration, the living area is 90 square metres. The agent's listing does not provide an alternative figure, so the BAG registration is the only source for the floor area.
Is there a WOZ value available for this home?
No, the listing does not include a WOZ value, so there is no municipal valuation to compare with the asking price. The WOZ value is determined by the municipality on a reference date and is not part of the agent's listing. Without this figure, it is not possible to see how the asking price relates to the official valuation, and no historical development can be assessed.
What are the noise levels around this address?
The address-level risk data indicates that noise from road traffic is 43 dB Lden, railway noise is 41 dB Lden, and industrial noise is 45 dB Lden, all of which stay below the relevant norms. These figures come from public data sources and are area-level indications, not measurements taken at this specific home. They give a general sense of the acoustic environment in the vicinity.
What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, based on the soil type being sand and the construction year of 1949. This is an area-level indication from public data, not an inspection of the specific building. It suggests that foundation issues are not a prominent concern in this location, though it does not replace a professional assessment of the property itself.
How close are the nearest supermarkets and schools?
An AH to go is just 123 metres away, with Ekoplaza at 349 metres and Albert Heijn at 390 metres, so daily groceries are within a short walk. For schools, KBS de Wheele is 3.8 km away and Het Twickel College Borne is 3.8 km, which is a longer distance than the neighbourhood's primary school at 0.6 km according to CBS data. The nearest pharmacy, Apotheek de Vries, is 184 metres away.
What public transport options are available nearby?
The Hengelo Centraal Station bus stop is 163 metres away, serving lines 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 51, 53, 65, and 810. The Hengelo train station is just 129 metres away, making rail travel very accessible. There are also additional bus stops at De Brink (183 metres) and ROC van Twente (369 metres), offering multiple options for getting around the region.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?

The housing stock is predominantly from 1945 to 1970, reflecting the area's post-war development, and the average household size is 1.3 people.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
The listing does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, or any details about a garden, balcony, or garage. It also does not mention insulation, heating systems, or ownership structures like a homeowners' association. As a result, the available information is limited to the living area from the BAG registration, the year of construction, and the energy label.
