Hogeland-Noord, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Brinkstraat sits in the lively Hogeland-Noord neighbourhood, right in the heart of Enschede. With 123 m² of living space, it feels generous and open, and the A+ energy label means it's efficient to run. Built in 2008, it's modern and well-insulated. The asking price of €495,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €474,958, but the size and quality justify it. For context, apartments in Enschede vary widely, and this one stands out.
Hogeland-Noord is a dense urban neighbourhood with over 2,900 residents and a very high address density of 3,856 per km². It's a mix of singles and families, with many young adults and a fair share of older residents. Two residents have shared their thoughts: one says "would rather live somewhere else," while another describes it as "a safe neighbourhood, where a lot of diverse people live. That can sometimes clash a bit and because of that, in my opinion, there isn't really a sense of community. The neighbourhood is also very close to the city, which makes it very accessible and close to everything, but apart from a few trees and grassy patches, there is no nature." So it's a trade-off between convenience and green space. The neighbourhood Hogeland-Noord is certainly not for everyone, but if you value city life, it works.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Al Ummah and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool, both a five-minute walk. The city centre is on your doorstep, with restaurants and a park just a few minutes away. The municipality Enschede offers everything you need, from culture to nature, though you'll need to venture a bit further for a train station.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Snelder Zijlstra Makelaars.
