How residents experience their district
Good, nothing more, safe house
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a tidy neighbourhood but there are a few people who pick fights and have constant issues with the enforcement, which puts the neighbourhood in a bad light. Other than that, it's not extremely clean because there's a lot of dog poo.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion, it's actually quite a good neighbourhood. Nothing very crazy ever happens, except for some neighbours who can be weird and very annoying. Personally, I live close to the service centre north and the fire station, so the GP out-of-hours service and, for safety, the fire brigade are nice and close. I also have little trouble from the fire brigade.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is really nice, there are some options nearby for transportation. Maybe the trash is an issue sometimes.

Good, nothing more, safe house
Auto-translated to English by AINice, neat and quiet neighbourhood. Lots of greenery, few high-rise buildings, which I really like. We ourselves live in an apartment where we feel at home. The neighbours in our apartment are all older Enschede residents and Glanerbrug residents. Nice complex to live in. The view from our apartment is beautiful, lots of greenery, and you can easily walk into the countryside. However, the shops, apart from a few, are further away. I personally find that a disadvantage. You really need transport if you want to go somewhere. Not everyone can cycle or has a car. I feel safe here; in the 6 years I've lived here, I personally haven't experienced anything that could give an unsafe feeling. You also don't see groups of young people hanging around here.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many problem youths in this neighbourhood. Probably because of people with lower incomes.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice living in this neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be nice and cosy. Now all kinds of people move in whom you still don't know after 2 years. Few amenities, nothing to do here. Nature is being destroyed by rich stickers who want to build a house.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not a nice neighbourhood to live in, junkies are on every corner and everything gets stolen.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with plenty of amenities, there are many different family compositions and the residents are approachable and pleasant to interact with. However, in my immediate vicinity there is crime such as theft (bicycles/scooters/items) and (car) break-ins. It's a fairly green neighbourhood close to Volkspark, which is of course pleasant, but it could also use some improvement in aesthetics. In my immediate area, street hygiene could certainly be improved, especially the amount of litter on the streets. Overall, the neighbourhood is easily accessible, but to get to places more central in the district you usually have to take a detour.
