A calm corner of Hengelo
This rental apartment on Schützstraat sits in De Noork, a neighbourhood where life moves at its own steady pace. With 74 m² of living space and a 1958 build, it is a home with character rather than a blank canvas. The last known rent of €742 a month was keen compared with the wider market, and the home was part of the social housing stock.

De Noork through residents' eyes
De Noork is a mixed bag, according to the three reviews we have. One resident calls it a "decent neighbourhood", noting that "the closer to the railway, the worse it gets" and pointing to waste nuisance around the Aldi. Another describes it as "safe but boring", with neighbours who "keep to themselves, but aren't distant" and plenty of dog owners whose pets play together. A third sums it up as "plenty within reach and calming". The area is home to many single-person households, and the streets see a fair amount of activity. For a fuller picture, [the De Noork neighbourhood]( /buurt/de-noork-hengelo/ ) page has more detail.
Daily life on the street
For the everyday routine, the Aldi is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Albert Heijn a short walk further on. Schools are a bit further out, with KBS de Wheele and Basisschool de Vonder both around a ten-minute drive away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the park is close by for a breather.

Frequently asked questions
About Schützstraat 53, Hengelo
Was €742 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €742 a month was on the keen side for the area. Homes in De Noork are typically rented out within about 11 days, which suggests demand is steady. The apartment was part of the social housing stock, so the rent reflected that category rather than the open market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online system. It indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. Expect heating costs to be reasonable, though not as low as with the most efficient labels.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
The Aldi is just 128 metres away, so it is on your doorstep for daily shopping. Jumbo is 683 metres away and Albert Heijn 753 metres, both within a ten-minute walk. That makes grocery runs straightforward without needing a car.
What is the neighbourhood like for safety?
Residents give mixed views. One says they "feel safe enough", though they note speeding on several streets and waste nuisance near the Aldi. Another mentions fireworks in the evenings and rubbish dumped by containers. It is a lived-in area with some rough edges rather than a pristine suburb.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 600 metres away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting by rail practical. The bus network was not detailed in the listing, but the station proximity covers most travel needed.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this apartment is marked as social housing. That meant the rent was set within the social sector limits and the home was typically allocated through the usual social housing channels. The rent of €742 reflected this status.
