A bright apartment in the heart of Hengelo
This apartment on Prinses Beatrixstraat sits in the middle of Hengelo, with the station just around the corner and the shops of the Binnenstad a short stroll away. The 60 m² floor area is compact, 42% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 103 m², which makes it a practical choice for a single person or a couple. The energy label A++ is the most efficient there is, so heating costs will stay low. At €1,075 per month, the rent is on the high side compared with the average of €675 for the one other rental currently available in the area, but that average is based on a single listing.

Binnenstad West
Binnenstad West is a compact neighbourhood with 910 residents, and it feels like it: most homes are occupied by single people, and the average household size is just 1.7. The age spread is broad, with a third of residents between 25 and 45, and a fifth over 65. Families with children make up a small share, so the streets are quiet rather than bustling with playgrounds. The housing stock is mixed, with 38% owner-occupied and the rest rental, which gives the area a varied feel. The Binnenstad West neighbourhood is one of the older parts of town, and its central position means most daily needs are within walking distance.
Life on the street
The weekday routine here is simple: the Albert Heijn is just around the corner for groceries, and the AH to go at the station is even closer if you need something on the way out. For a wider choice, Ekoplaza, Aldi and Jumbo are all within a ten-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out, with the nearest primary school about half a kilometre away and secondary schools around a kilometre, so the school run is a short cycle rather than a long drive. The station is a five-minute walk, which makes commuting to Enschede or Almelo straightforward. The municipality of Hengelo has a compact centre, and this street puts you right in the middle of it.

Frequently asked questions
About Prinses Beatrixstraat 273, Hengelo
Is €1,075 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €1,075 per month for 60 m², which works out at €17.92 per m². The only other rental currently available in Binnenstad West is listed at €675 for 103 m², so this apartment is considerably more expensive per square metre. The central location and the A++ energy label are part of what you are paying for, but the price is clearly above the neighbourhood average.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A++ label is the most efficient rating on the scale, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs compared with older homes. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the overall energy performance of the property. With such a high rating, the day-to-day running costs should be modest, though the exact amount will depend on your usage.

The station is 700 metres away, which is about a five-minute walk. That makes it easy to get to Enschede or Almelo without needing a car. The AH to go at the station is even closer, at 345 metres, so picking up a coffee or a sandwich on the way to the platform is no trouble.
