House prices and market figures Veldwijk-Noord, Hengelo
Veldwijk-Noord is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 25% of the 620 homes are owner-occupied, with the majority owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes scarce, but the homes that do come on the market are not necessarily cheap. Over the past twelve months, 8 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €415,938. The range ran from €259,500 to €575,000, with an average living area of 133 m². This works out at a price of around €3,127 per square metre, which is remarkably high for a neighbourhood with a WOZ value of €220,000. That WOZ value is clearly below the district average of Berflo Es (€233,000) and well below the municipal average of €292,000 for the whole of Hengelo. The difference between the low WOZ and the higher transaction prices suggests that the homes being sold are mostly larger or renovated properties. They are mainly single-family homes and terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s. For current asking prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Veldwijk-Noord, Hengelo
Veldwijk-Noord is a quiet, down-to-earth Twente residential neighbourhood on the northeastern edge of the Berflo Es district. The neighbourhood consists largely of porch flats and terraced houses built in the 1970s, with wide streets, some greenery in between, and a clear layout recognisable in many post-war expansion neighbourhoods. It is not a neighbourhood you seek out for its architecture, but for the peace and space it offers.
The population is young to middle-aged: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households are the most common. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is not a family-oriented neighbourhood with many children, nor a senior neighbourhood. The labour participation rate of 60% and an average income of €26,500 per year are below the Hengelo average, which colours the social composition of the neighbourhood. That does not mean it is unpleasant to live there, but it is good to know what kind of environment you are entering.
For daily groceries, you rely on the supermarkets in the immediate vicinity of the Berfloweg or the nearby shopping centre on Berfloweg-Noord. Hengelo city centre can be reached by bike in about ten minutes, which is a major advantage for many residents. By car, you can quickly connect via the Berfloweg to the N35 towards Almelo or Enschede. Arriva bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre and Hengelo station, from where you can continue by train to Enschede or Almelo. Hengelo station is about two kilometres away.
Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the younger residents, and sports clubs in the adjacent neighbourhoods are easily accessible. The greenery in the neighbourhood itself is functional but limited; for larger parks and recreational areas, you need to drive or cycle a bit further.
Residents appreciate the peace and central location of Veldwijk-Noord. On the neighbourhood main page of Veldwijk-Noord you can find all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is quiet here and you live close to everything, but the neighbourhood could do with a bit more maintenance and liveliness." That is an honest picture: the location is good, but the appearance of the public space leaves something to be desired here and there. Compared to the nearby Veldwijk-Zuid, the atmosphere is similar, although the housing composition varies per street. Berflo Es Noord and Berflo Es Zuid offer a slightly different mix of housing types as sister neighbourhoods and are worth considering if you want to compare options in the district.
Who is a home in Veldwijk-Noord interesting for?
Given the demographics and price range, Veldwijk-Noord is most interesting for first-time buyers and young dual-income couples looking for an affordable entry point in a quiet, well-connected neighbourhood. The lower WOZ value and the presence of housing association homes keep the entry threshold relatively low, but the actual transaction prices are higher than you would expect based on the WOZ. Be aware of this when searching. Supply is limited: only 8 homes were sold in the past year, so anyone wanting to buy a home in Veldwijk-Noord must be patient and able to act quickly. Families with children looking for plenty of greenery and play space may find something more suitable elsewhere in Hengelo. If buying is still a step too far, also check out the rental homes in Veldwijk-Noord as an alternative.
