In 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.

About Jekerstraat 166, Enschede
The asking price of €265,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Deppenbroek (€338,411) and also below the median of €299,000. Given that the floor area is smaller than average (71 m² vs 102 m²), the price per m² works out to about €3,732, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,362 per m². So it is keen overall, but the smaller size means you pay a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Deppenbroek, 38.9% of homes have label C, and 33.3% have a lower label (D or worse). Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It is not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but it is not a draughty old building either.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. The neighbourhood has an address density of 1,931 per km², indicating good urban coverage.
