Living in Havezathe, Almelo

Havezathe is a quiet, predominantly ground-based residential neighbourhood in the southern part of the Schelfhorst district in Almelo. The neighbourhood is named after a historic manor estate and has a somewhat subdued character: no busy shopping streets, no high-rise buildings, but mainly single-family homes and terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s, interspersed with some newer owner-occupied homes. The architectural style is functional, and the streets are spacious with plenty of greenery between the houses.

The population composition reflects this character well. With 1,600 residents and an average income of €25,400 per year, it is a middle-class neighbourhood with an above-average proportion of families with children (280 households) and a large group of residents aged between 45 and 65. This gives the neighbourhood a stable, quiet atmosphere. Havezathe is not a place where you expect much street life in the evening, but it is a place where people know each other.
