The asking price of €425,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €398,000 but below the average sold price of €364,731 for homes sold in the area. Given the 122 m² floor area and 385 m² plot, the price per m² is about €3,484, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,163 per m². This suggests the home is priced at a premium, possibly due to its size and garden.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient but not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 66.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this home is better than many older properties in the area.
The train station is 2.1 km from the home, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible, though not within immediate walking distance.
The closest supermarkets are an Aldi at 634 m and an Albert Heijn at 650 m, both just around the corner. A Jumbo is 819 m away, a couple of streets further. For organic options, there's an Ekoplaza at 1.2 km. Daily grocery shopping is very convenient on foot.
The nearest primary school is KBS de Wheele at 2.5 km, about a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, Het Twickel College Borne is 2.5 km away. Other primary schools within walking distance include Beekpark (3 km) and Basisschool de Vonder (3 km). The area has a good selection of schools.
The neighbourhood recorded 86 total crimes, which is moderate for an urban area. Resident reviews mention some concerns about street maintenance and safety, but overall the area is considered livable. The proximity to the city centre and amenities is appreciated by residents.
The plot is 385 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house. The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but the plot size typically includes outdoor space. You would need to confirm the exact garden layout with the agent.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Our street was once a beautiful street. But ruined completely by certain people. And you don't get any help. Such a shame. The neighbourhood is also not well maintained by the municipality; nowadays this is only for the better neighbourhoods where people with money live. And the housing association washes its hands of many things. The ordinary person can only get flats anymore. Where has our Hengelo gone, where I always lived so happily! What could be improved is the rubbish situation, that houses are better maintained, overall maintenance of streets, etc. And that there aren't deep trenches next to streets, life-threatening. Even if you call them, they change nothing. Fences around playgrounds, making unsafe streets safe again. And that they don't charge mega rent prices for small old houses and that new houses are also built for social renters. And that the municipality and police really intervene when necessary. But something has to happen first. Sad, all of it! Such a shame!

For me, it's very nice to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quite quiet to live, nice neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIA snug rural area, despite being close to the motorway, almost never bothered by the noise. Lots of nature and wildlife around us. And friendly neighbours.

Auto-translated to English by AIpretty good, you know
Auto-translated to English by AInormal neighbourhood but very dependent on exactly where you are. the closer to the railway, the worse it gets. waste nuisance around the Aldi is excessive and really needs attention. speeding on the Mozartlaan, Paganinistraat, Oude Postweg, Jozef Haydnlaan is also significant. speeding is too easy and it's unclear what the maximum speed is. small gardens and green strips also need attention. where the streets are swept regularly (plus point), the gardens are maintained once a year. I feel safe enough, although it's not always great, loud foreign voices, groups of men and overdue maintenance on sometimes entire blocks.
