Living in Wierdense Hoek: green, accessible, but not without caveats
Wierdense Hoek is a neighbourhood on the west side of Almelo with a predominantly quiet character, although this perception is not shared by everyone. Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.9 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for accessibility (7.5) and green spaces (7.5). Erik Wessels describes it as a "beautiful green neighbourhood with everything within reach" and mentions the supermarket, GPs, pharmacy, and eateries within walking distance, but also criticises speeding cars and the associated noise. This is a recurring point. Melike describes the neighbourhood as busy but appreciates the good access to shops, school, and the city centre. Marit Janssen is more down-to-earth: pleasant and relatively quiet, but she experiences nuisance from loitering youths and vagrants. Honestly, a mixed picture, which is also reflected in the safety score of 6.5. More reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the Wierdense Hoek neighbourhood page.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well. Several primary schools are accessible in and around the neighbourhood, and the fishing ponds and playgrounds make it attractive for families with children. For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Higher education in the immediate vicinity is more limited, something Marit Janssen also notes: she travels to Amsterdam for her master's degree. The municipality of Almelo provides more information about amenities and municipal services in the region via almelo.nl.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. Almelo has its own train station with connections to Zwolle and Hengelo, and the neighbourhood is close to main roads leading to the A35. By car, you are quickly in the centre of Almelo or in surrounding towns like Wierden. Those looking for a different atmosphere can also consider Kerkelanden or Rohof en omgeving, two neighbourhoods within the same district with their own character. For a more urban living experience, the Binnenstad or the Nieuwstraat-Kwartier offer a different type of supply.
For whom is buying in Wierdense Hoek a good choice?
The neighbourhood particularly appeals to first-time buyers and young families looking for a home below or around the Almelo average.

Lived here quite nicely. Only a lot of nuisance from speeding cars and motorcycles with a lot of noise. Generally friendly people. Supermarket, GPs and pharmacy within reach, as well as several eateries and a chemist etc. Beautiful green and various fishing ponds, play equipment for the little ones.
Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant and relatively quiet neighbourhood to live in, unfortunately there is a lot of trouble with loiterers, sects and vagrants, so that could really be better. As for education, there is nothing for me to do in the neighbourhood. I am taking a language-related master's programme in Amsterdam for that reason.
