What do you pay for a rental home in Hengelose Es?
The housing market in Hengelose Es has a clear face: almost half of the homes (47%) are rental properties. That sounds like a huge supply, but when you dig deeper into the figures, you see an important nuance. A large part of this (36% of the total stock) is owned by housing associations. The private rental market is much smaller at 12%, which means that sometimes you have to fight for the available gems. With an average WOZ value of €270,000, the price level here is lower than the city average of €292,000, making the neighbourhood attractive for those watching their pennies.
If we look at the private sector over the past year, we see that renting a home in this part of the city costs an average of €1,217 per month. For that amount you get relatively a lot of space; the average area reaches 104 square metres. That is considerably larger than many city apartments. However, the range is enormous: from compact options around €475 to luxury detached houses that rent for more than €4,000 per month. Are you specifically looking for renting an apartment or a single-family home? Then always check the current daily prices at the top of this page, because the supply in the private sector changes quickly with only a few dozen rentals per year.
Quiet living close to the centre, but what is the atmosphere like?
When you walk through Hengelose Es, it immediately strikes you that the neighbourhood is spacious. With a green score of 8.0 and a safety rating of 8.4, it seems like the ideal place to live on paper. Yet the story of the residents is somewhat double-sided, and that is exactly what you need to know before you sign for a house to rent in Hengelose Es. The overall rating is a decent 7.5, but the sub-score for 'community' remains stuck at 5.8. This is not a neighbourhood where doors are open to everyone or where street parties are the norm.
Resident Ceyda describes it aptly in her review: "My neighbourhood is a neat neighbourhood, nice houses and just very tidy. Unfortunately, I do miss contact with neighbours." This picture is confirmed by Jochem Vlutters, who says that with his own family it is "only cosy", but that "doing something with the neighbours is not a thing here". For people who value their privacy, this is wonderful, but those looking for old-fashioned neighbourly help may be disappointed. There is also criticism. A resident, Pb.de Jonge, is disappointed about the decline of certain streets: "A neighbourhood that was once so beautiful... but completely ruined by certain people." He criticises the maintenance by the municipality, which he says lags behind compared to the "better neighbourhoods". So it is wise not only to look at the house, but also to actually walk through the specific street at different times.
However, the location makes up for a lot. Jordy notes: "Living there is quite fine because I live close to the city within walking distance." That is a big plus: you are in the centre in no time, but you live in the green. Whether you are looking at a home in the sub-neighbourhood Tichelwerk, known for its own character, or you are looking for something in Hengelose Es-Noord; the connection with the city is good everywhere. The homes in ’t Wilbert are also popular because of their location.

Does Hengelose Es match your housing wishes?
With the largest age group between 25 and 45 years and a strikingly high number of single-person households (2,205), Hengelose Es is especially popular among starters, singles and young couples. It is a practical neighbourhood: close to amenities, more affordable than new-build and spacious. Are you looking for a vibrant student life or a close-knit village community? Then this might not be your place and you might be better off looking in the lively Binnenstad or the Noord neighbourhood. Is the supply of rental houses too tight? Then consider broadening your view to owner-occupied homes in this neighbourhood, where the turnover is often slightly higher.

Our street was once a beautiful street. But ruined completely by certain people. And you don't get any help. Such a shame. The neighbourhood is also not well maintained by the municipality; nowadays this is only for the better neighbourhoods where people with money live. And the housing association washes its hands of many things. The ordinary person can only get flats anymore. Where has our Hengelo gone, where I always lived so happily! What could be improved is the rubbish situation, that houses are better maintained, overall maintenance of streets, etc. And that there aren't deep trenches next to streets, life-threatening. Even if you call them, they change nothing. Fences around playgrounds, making unsafe streets safe again. And that they don't charge mega rent prices for small old houses and that new houses are also built for social renters. And that the municipality and police really intervene when necessary. But something has to happen first. Sad, all of it! Such a shame!
