House prices in Albergen: above the municipal average
Albergen is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 77% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, compared to 23% rented. The average WOZ value is €419,000, which is clearly above the municipal average of Tubbergen (€401,000). That difference is no coincidence: Albergen attracts families who want to live spaciously and detached in the Twente countryside, and that type of home comes with a price tag. Over the past twelve months, 13 owner-occupied homes were sold with an average price of €678,462. The range ran from €409,000 to €1,095,000, with an average living area of 222 m². Apartments are rare here; the supply consists mainly of spacious single-family homes and detached houses. For current asking prices and selling times, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Albergen: a village that is bigger than it seems
Albergen has over 3,500 residents and feels like an independent village, even though it falls administratively under the municipality of Tubbergen. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but with 520 children and 605 households with children, it is also an active family village. More than half of the households are married, and the labour participation rate of 72% is solid. This gives the village a stable, down-to-earth character: people who live here have something to do and have consciously chosen to be here.
On the Albergen neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and social cohesion. A recurring theme in the reviews is that you know everyone here, and that neighbours are still truly neighbours. Critical comments concern the limited shopping facilities and the dependence on the car. Albergen has a supermarket, a primary school and a number of sports clubs, including a football club and opportunities for tennis and other local sports. For more extensive shopping or secondary schools, you drive to Tubbergen or Almelo. The village centre has its own character with a church as its focal point and a modest hospitality offering for daily use.
Accessibility is a fair point of attention. Albergen does not have a train station; the nearest station is Almelo, about a twenty-minute drive away. Bus connections are limited and not suitable as a daily commuting option. The N349 connects the village with Almelo and Tubbergen, and via the A35 you can get onto the motorway relatively quickly. Anyone who wants to live here needs a car, preferably two. The sub-areas Albergen North and Albergen South each have their own character: North is quieter and greener, South is closer to the village centre. Those looking for a more scattered location can also look at scattered houses around Albergen, where the plots are even larger.
