City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Loenshof 9 sits right in the heart of Enschede, where the buzz of city life is literally on your doorstep. With 177 m² of living space, it is considerably larger than most homes in the neighbourhood. The asking price of €425,000 is 16% below the average asking price in the area, making it a keen proposition for a home of this size. For context, apartments in Enschede vary widely, but this one stands out for its generous proportions.
The City neighbourhood is a mixed bag, according to residents. One resident says: "The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Everything is very close by, which is super convenient." Another notes: "There is a lot of crime in the neighbourhood, young people walking around with weapons and many junkies arguing over money and drugs." A third resident, a shopkeeper, laments the decline of independent businesses: "No more appreciation for a decent butcher, fish or fruit shop." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.82 out of 10. The area is densely populated, with mostly single-person households and a young demographic. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood City.
For daily groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, a SPAR a couple of streets away, and a Jumbo within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Al Ummah and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven, both about a ten-minute walk away. The city centre is on your doorstep, with restaurants and shops within a couple of streets away. The municipality Enschede offers a range of amenities, but the immediate surroundings are particularly well-served.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Vera Welker Makelaars and is also available through other 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.
