How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's a relatively quiet neighbourhood in a beautiful environment, nicely on the border of Hengelo and right in the countryside. So far I've only had positive experiences with this neighbourhood. I honestly can't say anything bad about it. The only thing is that the area is a bit far from the city centre. But other than that, I don't mind it too much.
Auto-translated to English by AII came to live here a year and a half ago, due to my husband's home situation, now ground floor and I think we have a lovely little house with a garden and a nice sitting spot. Only the house has double glazing but it's especially cold in winter and very hot in summer. The bedroom has front and back doors and small windows, all single glazed, really not of this time. Opposite our rental house are nice owner-occupied homes, it all looks cosy, and of course we are happy with this place, it's neat and clean. Although the housing association also places antisocial people among them, which is certainly not pleasant for the people with their own homes, because there are those who, for example, don't maintain the garden. Like a neat Turkish couple who came to live here and then left their daughter in the house for 3 months, went to Turkey, and the garden became a big pile of weeds because that's not for the daughter. Likewise, in the same row, someone I think from social services, who also lets everything go and does nothing to the garden, that doesn't look nice, a shame for such a neighbourhood. I'll leave it at that.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere are no schools in Sogtoenshoek, but there are 3 just outside on the border. There is also a shopping centre within walking distance and there are plenty of playgrounds and parking spaces.
Auto-translated to English by AIthere are many children living in the neighbourhood because there is a school nearby, everything is easy to reach, the downside is that I often hear it's a maze!

How residents experience their municipality
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 AIOur 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!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a tidy neighbourhood, nice houses and just very neat. Unfortunately, I do miss contact with 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.
