What to look out for when buying a home in Hellendoorn?
Firstly: look carefully at the differences between neighbourhoods. The neighbourhood score ranges from 7.4 to 8.8, and you notice that in daily experience. A home in the rural area is very different from a home to buy in the centre of Nijverdal. Visit the neighbourhood at different times of the day before making an offer.
Secondly: the market in Hellendoorn is tight. With 242 homes sold in a year on a stock of over 15,000 homes, houses sell quickly. Be prepared for overbidding, especially for popular family homes around €400,000-€500,000. Make sure your financing is arranged in advance.
Thirdly: accessibility varies greatly per neighbourhood. Nijverdal has a train station and good bus connections, but in villages like Daarlerveen or Haarle you are dependent on a car. If you work in Zwolle or Enschede, expect a travel time of 30 to 45 minutes. Check the neighbourhood scores per neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl to see how residents rate accessibility.
Finally: also consider renting a home in Hellendoorn if the buying market proves too tight, or if you want to get to know the municipality first.

nice fun neighbourhood where people help each other in good and bad times. Only there is little in the area like supermarket etc, no public transport.
Auto-translated to English by AIResidents of Marle are proud of their neighbourhood. They put their shoulders to the wheel to strengthen the community together. A thorn in the side is the shortage of affordable homes for starters and lifetime homes. Housing construction, public transport and more public lighting would help the neighbourhood to keep young people on board. This has a positive effect on the school and the extensive club life that Marle has. What a pity is that the differences from the land consolidation are still clearly visible, part of Marle still has old ash trees and winding roads and the other part is more rigid and clearly has fewer ash trees and green verges.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood. If something is wrong, everyone helps each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe street is restless and busy, but otherwise it's a nice, tidy neighbourhood. I know many people and if something is up, we can always ask or inform each other without constantly knocking on doors. However, little is organised.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's lovely living here, nice and free. Only when you need groceries you have to go a bit further. Nice and quiet, beautiful nature, everyone knows each other.
