Living in Bartelinkshoek, Hengelo
Bartelinkshoek is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southeastern part of Hengelo, belonging to the Hasseler Es district. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and predominantly low-rise buildings of terraced houses and semi-detached houses, mostly dating from the 1970s and 1980s. These are solid, well-maintained homes with gardens, making the neighbourhood popular with families and people seeking peace and quiet without being too far from the city.
