Living in Haaksbergen (rural area): space, tranquillity and a close-knit community
Living in Haaksbergen (rural area) means space. No busy shopping streets on your doorstep, no parking hassle, but an environment of meadows, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads. Residents clearly appreciate that: on the neighbourhood page of Haaksbergen (rural area), the neighbourhood scores 7.9 out of 10, with highs for beauty (8.7), safety (8.3) and accessibility (8.3). Anne-Wil sums it up succinctly: "Nice neighbourhood, no fuss and beautiful surroundings." Lasse adds that it is quiet and that many families live there. That matches the demographic data: the largest age group is 45-65 years, but families with children are the most common household type. The community score (7.7) and the score for amenities (6.7) show that you do not come here for the liveliness of a village centre, but for the quality of the living environment itself.
Amenities in the rural area are by definition a bit further away. For daily shopping, schools and sports clubs, you rely on Haaksbergen (village), a few kilometres away. There you will find supermarkets, primary schools, a secondary school and sports facilities. The rural area itself mainly offers nature: walking and cycling routes through the Haaksbergerveen and the surrounding estates are literally around the corner. The municipality of Haaksbergen manages various recreational facilities in the region; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Haaksbergen. Those specifically looking in the sub-areas can also look at Verspreide huizen Veldmaat ten zuiden van de spoorlijn or Verspreide huizen Langelo (gedeeltelijk) en Honesch, each with its own character.
In terms of accessibility, it is not too bad. Haaksbergen has its own bus connection to Hengelo and Enschede, and by car you can quickly reach the A35 towards Enschede (about 20 minutes) or Almelo via the N18. There is no train station in Haaksbergen itself; the nearest station is Hengelo, about 15 kilometres away. For those who travel daily to a larger city, a car is therefore not a luxury but a necessity. That fact fits with the labour participation rate of 73% and the above-average income of €38,200 per household, well above the municipal average of €34,200. Surrounding villages such as Buurse, Sint Isidorushoeve and Hengevelde offer similar tranquillity but sometimes a slightly different amenity structure.
