Buying a home in Bedrijventerrein Twentekanaal Noord I, Hengelo.

Bedrijventerrein Twentekanaal Noord I is an industrial and business park on Hengelo's north edge, where you'll find warehouses, light manufacturing, and service companies rather than homes. If you're looking for residential property, you'd want the neighborhoods closer to the city center like Gasthuisplein or de Kunst, which sit within walking distance of shops and schools. This business zone itself isn't where families tend to settle, though it's useful if you're running a company and need affordable workspace near good transport links.
