For whom is a home in Wilderinkshoek a good choice?
Wilderinkshoek mainly attracts movers and families looking for space at a price that is still relatively affordable in Hengelo compared to the Randstad, but locally it does pack a punch. An average sale price of nearly €488,000 requires solid financing. First-time buyers with a limited budget would be better off first looking at rental homes in Wilderinkshoek, or searching at the lower end of the market where homes from €175,000 are available.
