Everything is okay, I guess, except for all those yobs on fatbikes messing around with fireworks everywhere. They should be dealt with more firmly.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere's quite a lot of litter everywhere, especially at and around the collection points. This causes a lot of vermin and stench now that it's so hot. Something should be done about this, but don't ask me what. Safety could also be a bit better. Especially children and youngsters on fatbikes can come across as intimidating. Especially when they're in large groups. The location and accessibility are very nice. Close to the centre and station. If you walk towards the east or south, you'll soon come across meadows and woods. This is very nice, especially for people with dogs and children. The community and housing are also just good and pleasant.

About Vuurdoornplein 8, Hengelo
Yes, it's on the keen side. The average sale price in Veldwijk-Zuid over the past period was €300,000, so this apartment is priced about 12% below that. Given its 65 m² and energy label B, it represents good value for a starter home in Hengelo.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. The neighbourhood was built entirely between 1945 and 1970, so this apartment likely has solid construction with some modern insulation.
Residents mention that safety could be better, particularly due to groups of youngsters on fatbikes who can feel intimidating. There were 42 reported crimes in the area, but no breakdown is given. Overall, the neighbourhood is considered decent but with room for improvement on safety and litter.
You have a Nettorama supermarket 470 m away and a Lidl at 925 m. A park or public garden is 400 m away, and a restaurant is just 300 m from the door. The train station is 2.4 km away, so you're not right on top of it but it's walkable or a short cycle.
With 65 m², it's typical for a two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or any outdoor space. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private garden.
Sold homes in Veldwijk-Zuid took an average of 126 days to sell, which is about four months. That's a fairly typical timeframe, suggesting a balanced market without extreme pressure.
