Homes for sale in Tichelwerk, Hengelo

House prices and market figures for Tichelwerk, Hengelo

Of the 1,930 homes in Tichelwerk, 58% are owner-occupied, which is a fairly high proportion for an urban neighbourhood. The average WOZ value is €268,000, slightly below the district average of the Hengelose Es (€270,000) and clearly below the municipal average of €292,000 for all of Hengelo.

Looking at actual transactions over the past twelve months, the picture is somewhat different. Of the 46 homes sold, the average purchase price was €399,326, with a range from €200,000 to €875,000.

Living in Tichelwerk, Hengelo

Tichelwerk is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Hengelo, nestled between the busier through roads of the Hengelose Es. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s: terraced houses and semi-detached homes with small front gardens, interspersed with apartment blocks and some newer infill projects. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable post-war character, without feeling dull or monotonous.

What immediately stands out when you walk through Tichelwerk is the age structure. With over 1,020 residents aged 65 and older, this is the largest age group, and you notice it in the atmosphere: quiet, little nuisance, well-maintained gardens. At the same time, there are also families and younger households aged 25 to 45 (840 people), which keeps the neighbourhood lively enough. Single-person households form the largest category (915), which fits well with the supply of smaller owner-occupied apartments in the area.

One resident aptly describes it: "It's quiet here without feeling like there's nothing going on. The neighbourhood feels safe and most neighbours know each other."
