Binnenstad: a village feel in the city centre
Binnenstad is a compact, mixed neighbourhood with 2,555 residents. One resident describes it as a "multicultural working-class neighbourhood, room for special people too:)" and adds: "Still go to the neighbour across the street for an egg you're short of when cooking? A beer on the doorstep? A weekend camping together? Or a nice neighbourhood BBQ? It's all possible in our little village in the city centre!" That sums up the friendly, community spirit. The area has a high proportion of older residents (41% aged 65+) and many single-person households, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood. The municipality Oldenzaal is a small city with a historic core.

For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl and Aldi are a couple of streets away. The Nutsschool voor Basisonderwijs is a five-minute walk, and the Twents Carmel College is within walking distance for secondary school. A park or public garden is a ten-minute walk away, and the train station is about the same distance. So most daily errands are on foot.
