Buying a house in Haaksbergen: the housing market in 2026
Haaksbergen is a municipality in the east of Overijssel, close to the German border and a quarter of an hour's drive from Enschede. It is a place where you live spaciously, surrounded by a patchwork landscape, fields and streams, yet you are quickly in the city. This combination attracts families, home movers and people who consciously choose peace without isolation. The local economy relies on a mix of manufacturing industry, SMEs and agricultural activity, and with a labour participation rate of 68%, employment is solid.
The housing market in Haaksbergen is predominantly a buyer's market: around 70% of the more than 10,600 homes are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €357,000, but actual transaction prices are higher. In the past twelve months, 283 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €750,562, with a range of €219,000 to €1,850,000. That average is driven up by the spacious detached houses in the rural area. If you are considering buying an apartment in Haaksbergen, you will find them mainly in and around the centre, usually in the lower segment. Supply is not very large, so be quick. At the top of this page you will always see the current state of supply, including average asking price and time to sell. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Haaksbergen
The municipality of Haaksbergen consists of the village of Haaksbergen itself, a vast rural area and a number of smaller settlements such as Buurse, Beckum, Hengevelde, Sint Isidorushoeve and Rietmolen.

Haaksbergen buitengebied, space and tranquillity
The rural area covers most of the municipality and attracts buyers looking for detached houses, farms or farmhouses on large plots. Here you will find homes at the top of the price range, towards €1 million and higher. The neighbourhood score is 7.9, with residents appreciating the peace and greenery but noting that amenities are further away. A resident of the rural area describes it as: "Lovely quiet living, but you really need a car for shopping." For those who don't mind that, the rural area offers a living experience you won't find in the city.
Haaksbergen-kern, compact and central
The core of Haaksbergen includes the immediate surroundings of the centre, including newer expansion neighbourhoods. Here there are relatively many apartments and terraced houses, making it interesting for first-time buyers and seniors who want to live on one level. The distance to shops, the weekly market and the neighbourhood bus station is short. Prices start lower here than in the rural area, making this a realistic entry point.

Buurse, village living by the Buurserbeek
Buurse lies southeast of Haaksbergen, along the Buurserbeek and on the edge of the Buurserzand nature reserve. It is a close-knit village with its own primary school, community centre and active club life. Owner-occupied homes in Buurse are predominantly detached or semi-detached, and prices are slightly lower than in the village of Haaksbergen itself. For nature lovers and families who prefer village tranquillity over central amenities, Buurse is worth discovering.
In addition to these areas, there are the smaller settlements Beckum, Hengevelde, Rietmolen and Sint Isidorushoeve. These are compact villages each with their own church, primary school and community centre. House prices there are generally lower than in the village of Haaksbergen, but supply is limited. If you are flexible with timing, you can find nice homes here. On the municipality page of Haaksbergen you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood.
What to look out for when buying a home in Haaksbergen?
Firstly: look carefully at the neighbourhood that suits you. The price differences between a terraced house in the core and a detached house in the rural area are enormous. With an average of €750,562 and a range up to €219,000, there is something for different budgets, but supply in the lower segment goes quickly. So orient yourself early and broadly.
Secondly: take accessibility into account. Haaksbergen does not have a train station. You rely on the car or neighbourhood bus towards Enschede. For commuters to, for example, Hengelo or Almelo, this is a point of attention. Information about infrastructure and plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Haaksbergen.
Thirdly: compare not only homes but also neighbourhoods. The scores for safety, amenities and sense of community differ per neighbourhood. Use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to make an informed choice. And if you prefer to rent, also check rental homes in Haaksbergen as an alternative.

Great residential area!
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, no hassle and beautiful surroundings.
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.
