A calm apartment in Roombeek-Roomveldje
This apartment on Tollensstraat sits in a quiet part of Enschede, where the streets feel settled and the pace is relaxed. Built in 2004, it offered 95 square metres of living space with an A energy label, so the running costs should stay modest. The last known rent of €1,063 was on the low side compared with other rentals in the area, which made it a keen option. For context, that was about 25 percent below the neighbourhood average of €1,419, and it sat well under the typical asking rented for apartments in Enschede. This home has not been online since 22 October 2026.
The neighbourhood
Roombeek-Roomveldje is a mixed, lively part of Enschede with a strong community feel. One resident describes it as "Quiet and making appointments," adding that "everything that happens with a nuisance is discussed, such as making music with speakers and how you can work together to find a solution." That gives a sense of a place where neighbours talk things through rather than let issues simmer. Based on one review, the area scores 8.63 out of 10, which is a solid endorsement. The population is a blend of ages, with a good share of single-person households and families, and the streets are busy with daily life. It is a neighbourhood that feels lived-in and friendly, and the Roombeek-Roomveldje neighbourhood has a character all its own.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the essentials are close at hand. A Lidl is just around the corner, with a Jumbo a couple of streets away and an Aldi not much further, so the weekly shop is a short walk. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Roombeek is a five-minute walk, and CBS Anna van Buren, Roombeek is also within easy reach. Older students have Het Stedelijk Kottenpark about a ten-minute walk away. The train station is a little over a kilometre off, which is handy for commutes. The area is part of the municipality of Enschede, where the amenities and green spaces are well spread out.
