What does a home in Haaksbergen (village) cost?
The housing market in Haaksbergen (village) is more accessible than many other places in Twente, but certainly not cheap. The average purchase price over the past twelve months was €416,665, with a range from €245,000 to €895,000. This means there are opportunities for both first-time buyers and those moving up the property ladder, although you'll need to dig deeper for a spacious detached house. The WOZ value in the village is €331,000, slightly below the municipal average of €357,000. This difference is because the municipality of Haaksbergen also includes more expensive rural homes in the outlying area.

Living in Haaksbergen (village): village character with surprisingly good amenities
Haaksbergen is a village that feels larger than you'd expect from the map. With over 17,200 residents, it has a complete range of amenities that you miss in smaller settlements. In the centre you'll find several supermarkets, including an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, plus a varied shopping area along the Markt and the Eibergsestraat. There are various primary schools spread across the village, such as De Veldmaat in the south and Het Kompas near the centre. For secondary education, the Assink lyceum is the local option. Residents give the neighbourhood page of Haaksbergen (village) a score of 8.3 out of 10, with notably high marks for accessibility (9.0) and education (9.0).
That high score for accessibility is justified. Via the N18 you're on the A35 towards Hengelo and Enschede within a quarter of an hour. By car, you can reach Hengelo station in 20 minutes for the train to the Randstad. Bus connections via line 54 take you to Enschede. It's not a place where you can manage without a car, but for Twente the transport links are fine. Resident Teun Hendriks sums it up succinctly with an 8.5 and the words: "Great residential area!" Another resident is more nuanced, calling it an "ordinary neighbourhood near the centre" where the people, houses and amenities are fine, but the municipality sometimes responds slowly to maintenance issues like overflowing bins. That's a fair point: it's not a slick suburb of a big city, but a down-to-earth Twente village with its associated pros and cons.
In terms of green space, the village scores a 7.3, which is modest. The Buurserzand and the forests towards Buurse are within cycling distance, but within the village itself the greenery is more limited than in the outlying area of Haaksbergen. Those specifically looking for a quiet, green location can consider neighbourhoods like De Els or Wolferink 3 on the edges of the village. In the heart of the village, around Haaksbergen Kern-1, everything is within walking distance but it's a bit busier. Sports are well represented with football club HSC'21, tennis club De Höfte and swimming pool Het Ravijn, which also has a popular recreational lake.

Great residential area!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe people, houses and amenities are fine. Reasonably safe, much improved compared to a few years ago. Only the municipality is sometimes a bit vague/slow in doing things and communicating. For example, emptying overflowing dog poo bins only after 4 days (after they are already completely full). Working on the sewage system or fertilising the plants in winter without notice (which doesn't make much sense).
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is cosy and has become very mixed over the years. Very young starters to very old. A nice mix. In terms of greenery, we would still like some adjustments. We are missing about 10 parking spaces on average.
