A modern apartment in Het Broek
This apartment on Windestraat 31 sits in Het Broek, a residential pocket of Hengelo where the streets are quiet and the pace is relaxed. Built in 2008, it has a floor area of 110 m², which is 69% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 359 m², so it is a more compact living space than much of the surrounding stock. The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating, so heating costs should be modest. At €1,385 per month, the rent is in line with the limited supply of rental homes in the area, and it sits among the apartments in Hengelo.

Frequently asked questions
About Windestraat 31, Hengelo
Is €1,385 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,385 per month is the only rental listing currently available in Het Broek, so there is little to compare it with directly. The average rent in the neighbourhood is €4,500 per month, but that figure is based on a single, much larger property of 359 m². Given that this apartment is 110 m² and has an A energy label, the price appears in line with what you would expect for a modern, efficient home of this size.
What does the A energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A label is the most efficient rating on the official scale, so the home is designed to keep energy consumption low. This typically translates into lower heating and electricity costs compared with less efficient homes. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as assessed at the time of certification. You can expect the running costs to be on the modest side, though actual bills will depend on your usage.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is Dirk, at 629 metres, which is about a five-minute walk. Albert Heijn is almost as close, at 647 metres, so you have two solid options for daily groceries just around the corner. For a larger shop, Jumbo is 1.4 km away and Aldi is 1.4 km as well. This makes it easy to pick up fresh bread or top-up supplies without needing a car.
What schools are available near Windestraat 31?
There are several primary schools within a reasonable distance. Basisschool de Vonder is the closest at 2.9 km, followed by Beekpark at 3.1 km and KBS de Wheele at 3.4 km. For secondary education, Het Twickel College Borne is 3.6 km away. These distances mean a short drive or a longer walk for school runs, depending on your preference.
How far is the train station from this apartment?
The train station is 4.5 km from the apartment. That is roughly a ten-minute drive or a manageable cycle for those who commute regularly. The distance is not walkable for most people, but it is close enough that public transport is a practical option for getting to work or exploring the wider region.
What kind of neighbourhood is Het Broek?
Het Broek is a residential neighbourhood with a strong family character. More than half of households have children, and the average household size is 2.8 people. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied, with 80% of homes being bought rather than rented, which contributes to a stable community feel.
