Berflo Es from the inside: what residents don't tell you in the brochure
Berflo Es scores a 6.8 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. That's a fair middle-of-the-road score. Residents appreciate the accessibility (7.7) and the greenery (7.3), which has been expanded in recent years. Moniek writes: "More greenery has been added recently, which is a real plus." This is visible in the public space, although she immediately adds a caveat: there are few rubbish bins, so litter remains on the streets. This ties in with a recurring point in the reviews. Another resident describes how waste accumulates around collection points, leading to pests and odour nuisance, especially in warmer weather.
Safety (6.3) and sense of community (6.3) score lower. Several residents mention young people on fatbikes as a source of nuisance and a feeling of insecurity, particularly for children. The atmosphere in the neighbourhood is not unpleasant, but not particularly close-knit either. "There is little sense of togetherness," writes Moniek, who also notes that there are few clothing shops and that investment in shops should be given more priority than other renovations. Cleanliness scores the lowest of all categories at 5.7, which ties in with comments about litter and the somewhat grey appearance of parts of the neighbourhood.

Berflo Es Noord and Berflo Es Zuid are the residential cores, while areas such as Veldwijk-Noord and Veldwijk-Zuid have a slightly quieter character.

Accessibility is the neighbourhood's strongest point: with a score of 7.7, residents have little trouble reaching the rest of Hengelo or the region. The municipality provides additional information about facilities and neighbourhood development via the website of the municipality of Hengelo.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew clothing shops where I can find everything, little sense of community, renovations in the neighbourhood are good but invest more in shops. Housing is good as is education. More greenery has been added recently, which is a real plus. There are few rubbish bins, which makes throwing rubbish on the street more attractive.
