Noord, Hengelo
NeighbourhoodThis 1963 terraced house on Castorweg has been given a new lease of life with an A++ energy label, a rarity in this neighbourhood, where only 6% of homes for sale achieve that rating. With 116 m² of floor space and a 147 m² plot, it's a solid family home in a quiet part of Hengelo. The asking price of €318,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €287,438, but the exceptional energy performance and generous size help explain it. For context, terraced houses in Hengelo typically offer less floor area for the money.
Noord is a mixed residential area with around 4,100 residents, where terraced houses and flats sit side by side. It's a fairly urban setting, the address density is 2,392 per km², but there's a park just a couple of streets away. One resident describes it as "an ordinary working-class neighbourhood" and says: "For me, it's very nice to live in." The population is a mix of ages, with a slight tilt towards 25- to 65-year-olds, and about a quarter of households have children. The municipality Hengelo has invested in the area, keeping it well-maintained and liveable.
For your morning bread run, Aldi is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including KBS de Wheele and Basisschool de Vonder, both about a ten-minute walk. Secondary education is a bit further, with Het Twickel College Borne roughly a ten-minute cycle. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes to Enschede or Deventer straightforward. A GP practice and a restaurant are both within a five-minute walk, so most daily needs are covered without a car.
At the time of writing, the home is available through multiple channels, including Des Huizes, Pararius, Funda and Huispedia. With four sources, you have plenty of ways to get in touch and arrange a viewing.

About Castorweg 185, Hengelo
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €287,438 and the median of €287,250. However, this home is larger than average (116 m² vs 96 m²) and has an exceptional A++ energy label, which is rare in Noord. The price per m² works out to about €2,741, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,067 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space and much better energy efficiency.
Only 5.9% of homes for sale in Noord have an A+ label or better, so an A++ rating is very unusual for a 1963 terraced house. It means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with low heating costs and a small environmental footprint. The label suggests the home has been thoroughly modernised with insulation, high-performance glazing and possibly a heat pump or solar panels.
With 116 m² of living space and a 147 m² plot, this home is larger than the average for sale in Noord, which is 96 m². The plot is also generous for a terraced house, giving you a decent garden (though the listing doesn't specify its size or layout). The extra space is a clear advantage over many other homes in the same price range.

Homes that sold in Noord recently took an average of 27 days to find a buyer. That's fairly quick, indicating a healthy market.
