Living in Eertman, Dinkelland

Eertman is a small, rural neighbourhood on the edge of the larger village of Weerselo, in the green Twente coulisse landscape of the municipality of Dinkelland. With 905 residents and a fine-meshed road pattern of ribbon development and scattered farmsteads, Eertman feels more like a rural area than a classic residential district. The buildings consist largely of detached homes, former farmhouses and spacious plots. There is hardly any high-rise or terraced housing.

The atmosphere is quiet and green. Those who live here consciously choose space, privacy and a slower pace. Cycling routes through the surrounding farmland are directly accessible, and the proximity of the Dinkeldal makes walking and cycling a daily option. At the same time, this rural character means that for daily shopping, schools and other amenities, you are dependent on the nearby centres. The nearest supermarket and primary school are in Weerselo, within cycling distance. For more extensive amenities such as a secondary school, town hall and larger shops, Denekamp is the designated destination, about ten minutes away by car.

In terms of accessibility by car, Eertman is reasonably well connected via the N739 towards Weerselo and further to Oldenzaal, where connection to the A1 is possible. Oldenzaal also has a train station with connections to Hengelo and Almelo. Public transport from Eertman itself is limited; a car is practically indispensable. For commuters heading to larger cities such as Enschede or Almelo, travel time is 25 to 40 minutes.

The population composition tells something about who lives here and who enjoys living here: the largest age group is 65-plus (300 of the 905 residents), followed by 45-65 year olds. Young families and first-time buyers are in the minority. Almost half of households are married, and households without children form the largest category. This fits the image of a neighbourhood that is attractive to people who consciously choose peace and space, not social vibrancy or proximity to urban amenities.

Residents most appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. One resident writes: "You really feel like you live in the countryside here, but Weerselo is just around the corner if you need something." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport and the distance to amenities for younger children. See all reviews and neighbourhood scores on the Eertman neighbourhood page.

For comparison: the neighbouring neighbourhood Weerselo kern offers more village vibrancy and amenities within walking distance, while Verspreide huizen Weerselo has a similar rural character. Also Reestman is a quiet neighbourhood in the same district worth comparing. Those considering buying in Eertman would do well to also look at the broader range of homes for sale in Weerselo.
