Frequently asked questions

About Karel Gerardstraat 5, Hengelo

Is €850,000 a fair price for this detached house?

The asking price is 94% above the neighbourhood average of €438,091, and it is the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in Groot Driene-Zuid. However, the home is 56% larger than the average (204 m² vs 131 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which only 9% of local listings have. So the premium reflects its size and efficiency, but it is on the high side compared to other homes in the area.

How energy efficient is this home?

The home has an energy label A+, which is the best possible rating. Only 9% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have this label. That means very low heating costs and a modern, well-insulated property. The year of construction is 1973, but the label suggests it has been significantly upgraded.

What is the neighbourhood like for families?

Groot Driene-Zuid has a balanced population: about 14% of residents are under 15, and 27% are between 45 and 65. There are 360 households with children. Most homes are owner-occupied (87%) and built between 1970 and 1990, giving a stable, family-friendly atmosphere. The crime rate is low, and there are primary schools within walking distance.

How far is the train station?

The train station is 1.8 km from the home, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes commuting to nearby cities like Enschede or Deventer straightforward.

What supermarkets are nearby?

Jumbo is 590 m away (just around the corner), Albert Heijn is 647 m (a couple of streets away), and Lidl is 1 km (a ten-minute walk). So daily shopping is very convenient without needing a car.

Is the garden size mentioned?

The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot is 1,018 m², which is very large. The outdoor space is substantial, though its exact layout (garden, terrace, lawn) is not described in the listing.

How many bedrooms does this home have?

With 204 m² of floor area, it is a spacious detached house, but the exact room layout is not provided by the agent.

What is the typical time to sell in this neighbourhood?

Homes that sold recently in Groot Driene-Zuid took an average of 21 days to sell. That is relatively quick, indicating a healthy market. However, this home is priced well above the average, so it may take longer to find a buyer.
