Glinde-Hooiland: green and quiet on the edge of Oldenzaal

Glinde-Hooiland is one of the quieter, residential neighbourhoods of Oldenzaal. The area has a predominantly green character and lies on the edge of the city, giving it a different atmosphere from, for example, the Binnenstad or the busier-feeling Het Inslag-De Kleies. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the proportion of over-65s (nearly 800 people) is also significant. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, mature character. Single-person households are the most common household type, although families and married couples also live there.

The view we have, people who come here all say how fantastic it is to live here." Safety, housing and beauty even score a perfect 10. Thijs van Leeuwen keeps it short but sweet: "Just good, actually nothing to complain about." The only point that scores slightly lower is green space (7.0), which indicates that the neighbourhood does not have an abundance of public greenery, although the proximity of the countryside is a plus.

For which buyers is Glinde-Hooiland a good choice?

Living in Glinde-Hooiland mainly appeals to movers and middle-aged people seeking peace and space without leaving the city entirely. The average purchase price of over €429,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers, although the lower end of the market (from €279,000) still offers some entry-level opportunities. In addition to the purchase price, also consider additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and any renovation costs. Supply is limited, with only 17 transactions in a year, so acting quickly pays off.
