Boekelerveld, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Oude Deldenerweg sits in a peaceful part of Enschede, surrounded by fields and farms. At €129,000, the price is well below the neighbourhood average of €862,000, partly because the 52 m² floor area is 65% smaller than the typical home in Boekelerveld. For comparison, other apartments in Enschede vary widely in size and price, so this is a keen entry point into the market.
The neighbourhood Boekelerveld is a small, quiet neighbourhood with just over 1,000 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied (70%) and three-quarters are single-family houses, so apartments like this one are rare. The population is older, nearly a quarter are 65 or over, and households without children outnumber those with kids. With an address density of just 108 per km², it feels genuinely rural. There are no resident reviews available for this area.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarket is Coop, about a ten-minute walk away. A second option, PLUS, is a couple of streets further. Three primary schools are within a five-minute walk: De Marcellinus, Openbare basisschool Molenbeek, and Basisschool De Jonge Helden. The municipality Enschede covers a large area, so amenities like the train station and secondary schools are a drive away, but the peace and quiet make up for it.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Makelaardij Meerman.

About Oude Deldenerweg 205-152, Enschede

Given the energy label A and the rural setting, the price appears keen.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. In Boekelerveld, half of the homes have label A, so this is in line with the best-performing properties in the area. You can expect low heating costs.
