Scarcity and price level in the private rental sector of Hasseler Es
If you have set your sights on a rental home in this specific neighbourhood, you need to be quick. The housing market in Hasseler Es is dominated by owner-occupied homes (71%). Of the 29% rental properties, the vast majority are owned by housing associations (21%), leaving only a modest 8% for the private sector. This is directly reflected in the figures: in the past 12 months, only about 13 homes became available in the private sector. So this is not a market where you see dozens of new options every week.
When a rental home does become available, prices are firm, but you often get plenty of space in return. The average rent over the past year was €1,373 per month, with a range between €1,085 and €2,300. For that amount, you typically rent a spacious 112 square metres. This does not differ significantly from the rest of the municipality, where the WOZ value of €292,000 is comparable to the €293,000 in this neighbourhood. For current availability and daily prices, we refer you to the overview at the top of this page, as supply changes quickly.
Green living in the 'hoeken': resident experiences
Hasseler Es is a typical 'cauliflower neighbourhood' from the 1970s and 1980s, made up of various sub-neighbourhoods that almost all end in 'hoek'. It is a neighbourhood with a very distinct character, highly rated by residents with an 8.6. The greenery scores exceptionally well at 9.4. This is not a concrete jungle, but a neighbourhood with many parks, gardens and water features. Resident Jente describes it aptly in a review: "It is a relatively quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful setting, nicely on the edge of Hengelo and straight into the countryside." Jente does note that the neighbourhood is somewhat far from the city centre, which for some is a drawback, but for others guarantees peace and quiet.
Stories sometimes circulate about the neighbourhood, but residents are happy to debunk them. For example, Shelly writes: "Hasseler Es is sometimes called a chav neighbourhood, but I think it's not that bad. Otherwise quiet and lots of children living here, so I like that." That child-friendliness is reflected in the demographics; households with children form a large group. The atmosphere sometimes differs per 'hoek'. Whether you look towards Schothorsthoek, the centrally located Bartelinkshoek or Tijertshoek, the layout is spacious and green. You also find that typical residential courtyard structure in Middelhoek and Molendijkhoek.
An important point of attention for anyone considering renting a house in Hasseler Es is the condition of the homes. Many houses date from the 1970s and 1980s. Resident Dinie Koop, who moved here a year and a half ago, is delighted with her "lovely little house with a garden", but honestly warns about the insulation: "The house with double glazing is especially cold in winter and very warm in summer." This is something to watch out for during a viewing, especially given the average energy consumption in the neighbourhood (gas 1,110 m³). For more depth on liveability, you can read all the details and reviews on the comprehensive neighbourhood page of Hasseler Es.
Does Hasseler Es suit your housing needs?
Given the population composition, this neighbourhood is ideal for families and the slightly older demographic (45-65 years is the largest group). People looking for a vibrant nightlife or trendy coffee shops on every corner will feel less at home here; for them, the centre or a neighbourhood like de Binnenstad would be more suitable. However, if you are looking for a spacious family home or a quietly located apartment to rent with all amenities such as an extensive shopping centre within easy reach, then this is "the place to be". Because the rental supply is so tight, many people eventually turn to the owner-occupied market. So be sure to also check out the homes for sale in Hasseler Es if renting doesn't work out immediately.
Effectively searching for housing in this region
Because sometimes only one rental house becomes available per month in the private sector, it is important to search broadly. Buurtje.nl collects listings from various sources, so you don't have to scour ten websites. Can't find anything here? Then also look at rental homes in all of Hengelo or specifically in the adjacent neighbourhoods. For example, the neighbourhood Groot Driene often offers slightly different options, or you can look in the Noord neighbourhood. For official municipal information about permits and plans, you can visit the website of the municipality of Hengelo.

Auto-translated to English by AIyes it's okay, hasseler es is sometimes called a chav neighbourhood, I don't think it's that bad, otherwise it's quiet and lots of children live there, so I like that
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a relatively quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful environment, nicely on the border of Hengelo and right in the countryside. So far I've only had positive experiences with this neighbourhood. I honestly can't say anything bad about it. The only thing is that the area is a bit far from the city centre. But other than that, I don't mind it too much.
Auto-translated to English by AII came to live here a year and a half ago, due to my husband's home situation, now ground floor and I think we have a lovely little house with a garden and a nice sitting spot. Only the house has double glazing but it's especially cold in winter and very hot in summer. The bedroom has front and back doors and small windows, all single glazed, really not of this time. Opposite our rental house are nice owner-occupied homes, it all looks cosy, and of course we are happy with this place, it's neat and clean. Although the housing association also places antisocial people among them, which is certainly not pleasant for the people with their own homes, because there are those who, for example, don't maintain the garden. Like a neat Turkish couple who came to live here and then left their daughter in the house for 3 months, went to Turkey, and the garden became a big pile of weeds because that's not for the daughter. Likewise, in the same row, someone I think from social services, who also lets everything go and does nothing to the garden, that doesn't look nice, a shame for such a neighbourhood. I'll leave it at that.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are no schools in Sogtoenshoek, but there are 3 just outside on the border. There is also a shopping centre within walking distance and there are plenty of playgrounds and parking spaces.
Auto-translated to English by AIthere are many children living in the neighbourhood because there is a school nearby, everything is easy to reach, the downside is that I often hear it's a maze!
