Delden: an old town with a strong sense of community
Living in Delden feels different from living in an average commuter neighbourhood. The town has a recognisable historic centre with the Oude Blasiuskerk, Twickel Castle in the background, and a market square that still functions as a meeting place. Residents give Delden a total score of 7.4 out of 10 on the Delden neighbourhood page. Community (9.0) and beauty (9.0) score notably high, which matches the image of a close-knit, green community. One resident describes it as a place where you know your neighbours and where people greet you on the street. The low scores for amenities (5.0) and education (6.0) are honestly also justified: for a wide range of shops or a secondary school, you need to go to Hengelo or Almelo.
For daily groceries, there is a supermarket in the centre, and the necessary small shops and eateries on and around the Langestraat. Delden is well-equipped for sports: football club DFC Delden, tennis club LTC Delden, and a swimming pool are present. Primary education is available in the neighbourhood itself, but for secondary education, children rely on the surrounding cities. The green environment rightly scores an 8.0: the Twickel estate with its extensive forests and walking paths starts literally just beyond the built-up area. Neighbourhoods like Sint Annabrink and Vossenbrink en De Braak border directly on this greenery and are popular with buyers seeking peace and space.
Accessibility is reasonable but not exceptional, which explains the score of 7.0. Delden has its own train station on the Hengelo-Almelo line, allowing you to reach Hengelo in about ten minutes and Almelo in fifteen minutes. By car, the A35 is the main connection, just a few minutes' drive away. Bus connections are available but limited outside peak hours. For those commuting daily to Enschede or Hengelo, the train offers a comfortable option. If you also want to explore other parts of the municipality, look at Goor or Markelo as alternatives with a similar village character.
For whom is buying in Delden a good choice?
Delden mainly attracts movers, seniors, and families who consciously choose peace, space, and a recognisable village community. The average purchase price of over €508,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers, especially given the limited supply of affordable owner-occupied homes. The supply changes quickly and bidding wars occur for desirable homes. Besides the purchase price, don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees, and any renovation costs. Is buying not feasible now? Then look at rental homes in Delden as an interim solution. Buying an apartment in Delden is also possible, although the supply is limited.
