The asking price of €235,000 is about 25% below the average asking price in Groot Driene-Noord (€311,750) and also below the median of €325,000. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (74 m² vs 112 m²). Given the size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you would expect for a compact apartment in this area.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to homes with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 31% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a property built in 1971.
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by train quite convenient from this location.
Jumbo is 255 metres away (just around the corner) and Albert Heijn is 297 metres away (a couple of streets away). For a wider selection, Aldi and Lidl are within about 1 km and 1.3 km respectively.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

How residents experience their municipality
For me, it's very nice to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quite quiet to live, nice neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIA 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur street was once a beautiful street. But ruined completely by certain people. And you don't get any help. Such a shame. The neighbourhood is also not well maintained by the municipality; nowadays this is only for the better neighbourhoods where people with money live. And the housing association washes its hands of many things. The ordinary person can only get flats anymore. Where has our Hengelo gone, where I always lived so happily! What could be improved is the rubbish situation, that houses are better maintained, overall maintenance of streets, etc. And that there aren't deep trenches next to streets, life-threatening. Even if you call them, they change nothing. Fences around playgrounds, making unsafe streets safe again. And that they don't charge mega rent prices for small old houses and that new houses are also built for social renters. And that the municipality and police really intervene when necessary. But something has to happen first. Sad, all of it! Such a shame!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a tidy neighbourhood, nice houses and just very neat. Unfortunately, I do miss contact with neighbours.

Auto-translated to English by AIpretty good, you know
Auto-translated to English by AInormal neighbourhood but very dependent on exactly where you are. the closer to the railway, the worse it gets. waste nuisance around the Aldi is excessive and really needs attention. speeding on the Mozartlaan, Paganinistraat, Oude Postweg, Jozef Haydnlaan is also significant. speeding is too easy and it's unclear what the maximum speed is. small gardens and green strips also need attention. where the streets are swept regularly (plus point), the gardens are maintained once a year. I feel safe enough, although it's not always great, loud foreign voices, groups of men and overdue maintenance on sometimes entire blocks.
