Living in Nijrees, Almelo

Those who don't know Nijrees might drive right through it without realising how green and quiet it actually is. The neighbourhood lies in the southwest of Almelo, as part of the Windmolenbroek district, and exudes an atmosphere somewhere between a spacious suburb and a small-scale village. Streets are wide, gardens are large, and greenery is not an afterthought but a given. Residents therefore give the greenery a perfect score of 10 out of 10.

The homes mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s, but have been well-maintained over the years and often significantly improved. You see few terraced houses in the classic sense here: rather, they are spacious semi-detached and detached houses with driveways, garages and back gardens that deserve the name. The streets around the Nijreessingel and surrounding area give a good impression of the character: quiet, green, well-kept.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Windmolenbroek shopping centre, within cycling distance, offers supermarkets and a wide range of shops for everyday needs.

Accessibility even scores a perfect 10 from residents, and that is understandable. Nijrees is conveniently located relative to the A35, the main motorway towards Enschede and Hengelo. Almelo station can be reached by bike in about ten minutes, and bus connections to the centre and other districts are also well-organised.

Does a home for sale in Nijrees suit you as a buyer?

Nijrees mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space and are willing to pay a serious price for it. With an average sale price of €469,000, this is not a market for starters with a limited budget, although the lower end of the range (from €325,000) sometimes offers an entry point. The homes are large, the gardens too, and the neighbourhood is stable in value. Keep in mind that supply is limited: with 22 transactions in a year, the market is not particularly liquid, making overbidding and quick decisions realistic. Considering renting first?
