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.
