Homes for sale in Hogeland-Noord, Enschede

House prices and market figures Hogeland-Noord, Enschede

The owner-occupied market in Hogeland-Noord is relatively small. Of the 1,558 homes in the neighbourhood, only 38% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Hogeland-Noord scarce and the market therefore somewhat more volatile. In the past twelve months, 19 homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €349,474. The range runs from €209,000 to €850,000, indicating that both starter homes and larger, more expensive properties can be found. Based on an average living area of 105 m², the price per square metre comes to approximately €3,328. The average WOZ value is €262,000, which is lower than the district average of Binnensingelgebied (€271,000) and clearly below the municipal average of €284,000 for Enschede. This means you can get in relatively affordably here compared to the rest of the city. For current asking prices and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Hogeland-Noord, Enschede

Hogeland-Noord is an urban neighbourhood bordering the centre of Enschede, but at the same time has a very distinct character. The buildings largely consist of multi-family homes and smaller terraced houses, partly built in the 1960s and 1970s. The street pattern is compact and the neighbourhood feels densely built-up, with little open space or greenery. The latter is something residents clearly miss: greenery scores a 4.5 out of 10, the lowest of all assessed categories.

Resident Veerle aptly describes the neighbourhood: "It is a safe neighbourhood, where many diverse people live. That can sometimes clash and in my opinion there isn't really a neighbourhood feel because of it. The neighbourhood is also very close to the city, which makes it very accessible and close to everything, but apart from a few trees and grassy patches, there is no nature." That diversity is visible in the population composition: the neighbourhood has nearly 3,000 residents, with a strong concentration of 25- to 45-year-olds and many single-person households. Only 27% of households are married, reinforcing the image of a young, individualistically oriented neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, Hogeland-Noord benefits from its proximity to the city centre. Supermarkets, shops and eateries are within walking distance. Primary schools are present in and around the district, although education scores only an average 6.5 in resident ratings. For larger shopping centres or sports facilities, you quickly head to the centre or neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Laares or Lasonder Zeggelt.

Accessibility is a clear strong point: residents give it a 7.5, the highest sub-score. The centre of Enschede can be reached by bike in a few minutes. Bus services run frequently and Enschede Centraal station is easily accessible, from where trains run towards Hengelo, Almelo and beyond. By car, you connect via city roads to the motorways towards Hengelo and Almelo. If you commute to the centre daily or don't have a car, this is a favourable location.

Safety is rated at 6.5, which is acceptable for an urban neighbourhood but not outstanding. Community spirit scores a low 5.5, which matches the picture Veerle paints: a neighbourhood where people live alongside each other, but not necessarily with each other. View all ratings and neighbourhood data on the information page for Hogeland-Noord. For comparison: in the broader district of owner-occupied homes in Binnensingelgebied, incomes and WOZ values are slightly higher, but the urban dynamic is similar. Neighbourhoods like City and Getfert each offer their own variant of urban living in this part of Enschede.

Who is a home for sale in Hogeland-Noord interesting for?

Hogeland-Noord mainly appeals to first-time buyers and young professionals who want to live centrally without paying the absolute top prices of the city centre. The low entry price of €209,000 makes it realistic for first-time buyers to purchase a home here. If you are looking for greenery, peace or a strong neighbourhood community, you will probably be disappointed here: the scores for greenery (4.5) and community (5.5) are frankly disappointing. The supply of owner-occupied homes is limited, so quick action is important when something becomes available. Also consider the rental properties in Hogeland-Noord as an alternative, as the rental market share is large here and can be a good intermediate step.
