normal 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.

There are many dog owners in the neighbourhood whose dogs play together a lot, which sometimes creates a cosy atmosphere. A downside is that there's a lot of fireworks set off in the evenings/nights. Also, a lot of rubbish is dumped by the plastic/paper containers, or entire households' furniture is thrown away.

About Verdistraat 24, Hengelo
The asking price of €197,000 is 35% below the average asking price in De Noork (€304,833). However, this flat is also smaller than average (55 m² vs 94 m²). Given the E energy label and the compact size, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in this neighbourhood.
De Noork is a densely built area with a mix of singles and families. Residents describe it as decent but variable: closer to the railway it's less pleasant, and there's some waste nuisance near the Aldi. Others find it safe and calm, with dog owners creating a cosy atmosphere. Fireworks and rubbish dumping are occasional downsides.
The nearest train station is 0.6 km away, about a seven-minute walk. That makes commuting to Hengelo city centre or further afield straightforward.
The Aldi is just around the corner (280 m). For a wider selection, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are about 800,900 m away, a ten-minute walk. There's also an Ekoplaza within 1.2 km.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In De Noork, 80% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
The listing does not mention a garden or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. Many flats in this area have small gardens or none at all.
