Living in Berflo Es Zuid, Hengelo

Berflo Es Zuid is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the south side of the Berflo Es district in Hengelo. The neighbourhood has a typical post-war character, with a mix of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s. The streets are green, although this greenery has not always been there: residents note that trees and plants have been actively added in recent years, which has improved the neighbourhood's appearance.

Those who live here choose peace and space over urban vibrancy. The neighbourhood attracts relatively many residents in the 45 to 65 age group, but young families also find their place here. Single-person households are the largest category, which fits with the share of social housing and the reasonable entry price for first-time buyers considering buying a home in Berflo Es Zuid.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional but not extensive. There are primary schools nearby and accessibility to Hengelo city centre is reasonable, both by bike and by car via the Berflobeek and the connection to the N35. Hengelo railway station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, providing a connection to Enschede and Almelo. Bus services run through the district, although the service is limited outside peak hours. Resident Moniek gives the neighbourhood a 7.2 and aptly describes it as "Small but okay". She points to a lack of clothing shops and little sense of community, but is more positive about improvements to public spaces: "More greenery has been added recently, which is a real plus." At the same time, she advocates for more bins to combat litter, and asks for more investment in shops rather than just infrastructure.
