City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis 99 m² apartment on Mooienhof sits right in the heart of Enschede, where the streets buzz with shops, cafés and students. The building dates from 2001, so it's relatively modern, and with an energy label C you won't face sky-high bills. At €375,000, the asking price is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €508,632, a keen price for a home this size in the city centre. For context, that's in line with what other apartments in Enschede typically go for.
The neighbourhood City is a dense, urban area with over 4,200 addresses per km², very strongly urban. Most households are single-person (2,215 out of 2,870), and the average household size is just 1.3. Residents give the neighbourhood a 6.82 out of 10 based on four reviews. One resident says: "I've been living here for over 2 years now. Above a shop (our own shop). The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Many new buildings are being built for students and first-time buyers! Everything is very close by, which is super convenient." Another notes: "Enschede is not really my place to live. There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion." The reviews paint a picture of a lively but gritty city centre.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Jumbo is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Al Ummah and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven. The municipality Enschede has invested in new student housing nearby, and the city park is a ten-minute walk away if you need a bit of green. The train station is also a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Prisma ERA Makelaars Enschede and Prisma Era Makelaars Hengelo, so it's available through several channels.

I've been living here for over 2 years now. Above a shop (our own shop). The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Many new buildings are being built for students and first-time buyers! Everything is very close by, which is super convenient. There are many rubbish bins and also racks for deposit bottles. Great neighbourhood!!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a shop in the city centre... 83 years in the family. Over the years, the inner city has changed a lot! And not for the better. Demolition of beautiful buildings, many empty shop premises where unfortunately only the so-called "fortune seekers" often settle. The result is that they are empty again after a while! It is often made difficult for shopkeepers because of all the rules from the municipality. Rules thought up by gentlemen somewhere in a warm office who don't even seem to know the whole situation in the city themselves. Streets are closed, the car park in our neighbourhood closed, and that, as they say, for a higher purpose! No, it is certainly not a pleasure to be a small independent business in a city like Enschede where there is only room for large worthless chains like Primark, Sissy Boy XL and Action. No more appreciation for a decent butcher, fish or fruit shop. Very unfortunate but that is the reality in Enschede.
Auto-translated to English by AIEnschede is not really my place to live. There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion. The house is easily accessible by public transport, as it is a 7-minute walk from the station. However, if you drive into the city centre by car, you can only do so between 7 and 11 o'clock. If you have your own car, you can't park it anywhere; it can be a 20-minute walk. School is very close, you have the UT, ROC van Twente and Saxion. Living in the city centre is convenient because everything is close by in terms of shops. There is also a lot of crime in the neighbourhood, young people walking around with weapons (apparently) and many junkies arguing over money and drugs. The houses in the centre are old and poorly insulated; you pay an arm and a leg for rent and gas, water, electricity. There is little greenery, although there is the city park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy. Enschede is a beautiful city and I live right in the centre. The station is nearby and there is also a lovely city park a 10-minute walk from my home. A downside is that in summer the city can smell quite unpleasant, and therefore my home too. If you open the windows, it stinks quite a bit. Furthermore, you also have to deal with the noise of the nightlife from Friday to Sunday.

About Mooienhof 10-87, Enschede
The asking price is €375,000, which is 26% below the average asking price of €508,632 in the City neighbourhood. However, the median asking price in the area is also €375,000, so it's exactly in line with what half of the homes here are listed for. Given the 99 m² floor area and central location, the price seems competitive without being a bargain.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but far from the worst. In the City neighbourhood, about 39% of homes have label C, and another 33% have label B. You won't face excessive heating costs, but it's worth noting that newer builds often achieve A or B.
The City neighbourhood recorded 1,924 total crimes in the latest data, which is high for a residential area. Resident reviews mention issues with junkies and young people carrying weapons. However, one long-term resident says the area is "very friendly and tidy" and praises the new developments. It's a mixed picture, the centre is lively but has its downsides.
The train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to the rest of the Netherlands.
