A semi-detached house on a leafy street
This 1927 semi-detached house on Oude Postweg sits in a part of Hengelo where the streets have character and the gardens are compact. With 97 m² of living space and a 200 m² plot, it's a home that feels solidly built but needs some modernisation, the E label tells you heating costs will be noticeable. At €300,000, the asking price is in line with the three other homes currently for sale in De Noork, where the average is €304,833. For context, semi-detached houses in Hengelo typically sell for around that figure.
De Noork, a mixed bag, but safe
De Noork is a neighbourhood where opinions vary. One resident calls it a 'decent neighbourhood' but points out that 'the closer to the railway, the worse it gets' and mentions 'waste nuisance around the Aldi' and 'speeding on the Mozartlaan, Paganinistraat, Oude Postweg, Jozef Haydnlaan'. Another says it's 'safe but boring', with people keeping to themselves but still friendly, and notes 'a lot of fireworks set off in the evenings/nights' and rubbish dumped by the plastic containers. A third review sums it up as 'plenty within reach and calming'. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.53 out of 10. The area is densely built (2,710 addresses per km²) and has a mix of single-family homes (49%) and apartments, with 34% owner-occupied. For more on the area, see neighbourhood De Noork.

Frequently asked questions
About Oude Postweg 97, Hengelo
Is €300,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €300,000 is slightly below the average of €304,833 for homes currently for sale in De Noork, and well below the median of €350,000. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €325,636, so the price seems reasonable for a semi-detached house that needs some updating.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has an energy label E, which means it's not very efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In De Noork, 80% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
How is the neighbourhood De Noork?
Residents describe it as a decent but mixed area. Positives include feeling safe, shops nearby, and a calming atmosphere. Negatives are speeding on some streets, waste dumping, and fireworks at night. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses and a mix of families and singles.
What shops and schools are nearby?
The Aldi is just around the corner (342 m), and the Jumbo is a five-minute walk (779 m). The nearest primary school is KBS de Wheele, about 4 km away, and the closest secondary is Het Twickel College Borne, also about 4 km. There are several other schools within 5 km.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 0.6 km away, which is about a five-minute walk. This makes commuting by train quite convenient.
What is the garden like?
The plot is 200 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. The neighbourhood reviews mention small gardens, so it's likely the outdoor space is modest.
