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!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy here with the family, but there's no doing anything with the neighbours.

About Mr. P.J. Troelstrastraat 100, Hengelo
The asking price of €375,000 is 15% below the average asking price in 't Wilbert, which is €442,375. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €349,955, so the price is in line with recent sales. Given the energy label E and the pre-war construction, the price reflects the home's character and the need for potential energy improvements.
The home has energy label E. This means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to homes with better labels. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label D or lower, so this is common for pre-war properties. Improving insulation or installing solar panels could reduce costs.
The train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible, though not directly on your doorstep.
Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident finds it cosy with family but notes little interaction with neighbours. Another appreciates the proximity to the city but feels the neighbourhood has declined in maintenance. A third enjoys the quiet family atmosphere. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents.
The nearest primary school is KBS de Wheele, about 2.9 km away. Other primaries like Beekpark and Basisschool de Vonder are around 3.3 km. For secondary education, Het Twickel College Borne is also about 2.9 km. All are within a reasonable distance for school runs.
Daily groceries are convenient: Albert Heijn and Aldi are both within 500 metres, and a Jumbo is about 1 km away. For organic options, Ekoplaza is also nearby. The city centre is within walking distance, offering more variety.
The plot is 192 m², which is generous for a terraced house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests outdoor space.
With 133 m² of living space over multiple floors, it likely has at least three bedrooms, but you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
