The core area is therefore cheaper than the rest of the municipality, partly explained by the higher share of social housing and the more urban, compact housing types in this part of Haaksbergen.

Haaksbergen-kern: village feel with everything within walking distance
Haaksbergen-kern has a distinct character: it is the beating heart of a small Twente municipality, with the amenities of a village but the compactness of a town centre. Shops, the pharmacy, the town hall and restaurants are within cycling or even walking distance. That is exactly what residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page for Haaksbergen-kern, reviews and experiences from residents can be read, and they paint a consistent picture: quiet, clear, but sometimes a bit dull for those seeking more urban stimuli. One resident describes it as: "Everything is close by, you know your neighbours, but in the evening it quickly becomes quiet." That says a lot about the atmosphere.
The population composition confirms this picture. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, but there are also relatively many over-65s (290 out of 1,125 residents). Single-person households are the most common household type. So it is not a classic family neighbourhood, but rather a place where people live alone or as a couple, close to daily errands and the centre. The immediate centre falls under the neighbourhood Haaksbergen Kern-Centrum, where the concentration of amenities is highest.
Accessibility is a point of attention. Haaksbergen has no train station; you rely on the bus or car for larger cities like Enschede or Hengelo. Those who commute daily should take that into account. Cyclists get around well within the core area itself. For those seeking more space and greenery, the surrounding areas offer an alternative: also check the supply in Haaksbergen rural area or the quieter surroundings of Buurse. More information about living and amenities in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Haaksbergen.
