I grew up here. Always found it a nice neighbourhood with lovely people. De Nijverheid has beautiful houses. I never felt unsafe here. I also went to school on De Nijverheid. Had a good time there. Personally, I have nothing bad to say about the neighbourhood.

About Oelerweg 291, Hengelo
The asking price of €185,000 is 61% below the neighbourhood average of €473,077, but the apartment is also 63% smaller than the average home in Nijverheid (48 m² vs 130 m²). Given the compact size and energy label C, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small apartment in this area.
