Westerhaar-Vriezenveensewijk, affordable and quiet

Westerhaar is located in the west of the municipality, towards the Vechtdal. It is the smallest centre with its own amenities: a supermarket, primary school and sports hall. The neighbourhood score is 6.9, the lowest of the four centres. Residents appreciate the peace but sometimes miss some buzz and hospitality options. For buyers with a smaller budget, Westerhaar is interesting, as house prices here are on average lower than in the other centres. View the homes for sale in Westerhaar.

In addition to the village centres, there are the extensive rural areas. In Buitengebied Vriezenveen Noord and Buitengebied Vriezenveen Zuid you will find detached homes on large plots, often former farms or farmhouses. Here you pay more, but you get space and privacy in return. Read all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood on the municipality page of Twenterand.

What to look out for when buying a home in Twenterand?

Firstly: look carefully at the differences between the centres. Den Ham and Vroomshoop score significantly higher with residents than Vriezenveen and Westerhaar. That does not mean the latter centres are bad, but it pays to investigate which neighbourhood suits your wishes. Vriezenveen offers the most amenities, Den Ham the strongest sense of community.

Secondly: the housing market in Twenterand is less overheated than in the Randstad, but here too you need to act quickly on popular homes. With an average selling price of €460,139 and a floor area of 167 m², you get relatively a lot of living space, but expect competition from other bidders for sought-after properties. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.

Thirdly: accessibility varies per centre. Vroomshoop is close to the N36, while from Westerhaar you are a bit longer on the road to Almelo or Hardenberg. Check this for your daily commute. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to get an honest picture of how residents experience their neighbourhood. That tells you more than an estate agent's description.
