Groot Driene-Noord, Hengelo
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Staringstraat sits in a quiet part of Hengelo, with a pleasant mix of terraced houses and low-rise blocks. At 74 m² it's a good size for a couple or single person, and with an energy label C the running costs should be manageable. The asking price of €235,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €311,500, partly because the floor area is 31% smaller than the typical home here.

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.
