Schreurserve, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis 1937 detached house on Oldenzaalsestraat sits on the edge of Enschede, where the city meets the countryside. With 135 m² of living space and a 199 m² plot, it offers generous proportions for a home of this era. The energy label F means heating costs will be significant, something to factor in. At €529,000, the price is in line with other detached houses in Enschede.
Schreurserve is a mixed neighbourhood with a strong sense of history. One resident says: "We've lived here for almost 45 years and feel fine and safe, although a lot has changed over time." Another notes: "As a student you don't notice much, but it seems like a pleasant neighbourhood to live in later as an adult." The area has a high density of 2,900 addresses per km², making it very urban, yet it's close to green spaces. Many homes are owner-occupied (40%) and mostly single-family (78%). This is a neighbourhood Schreurserve with character.
For groceries, you have Jumbo just around the corner and Aldi, Lidl and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The Enschedese Schoolvereniging primary school is on your doorstep, and Christelijke basisschool De Fontein is a five-minute walk. Secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Enschede offers all urban amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Vera Welker Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe've lived here for almost 45 years and feel fine and safe, although a lot has changed over time. Not all for the better either. But hey, that's life, isn't it. It is and remains an old neighbourhood, our neighbourhood, our home.

About Oldenzaalsestraat 346, Enschede
The asking price of €529,000 is in line with the market for a detached home of this size and age in Enschede. The 135 m² floor area and 199 m² plot are typical for a pre-war house, but the energy label F means higher running costs. You'll want to weigh those against the character and space.
Schreurserve is an established neighbourhood on the edge of Enschede. Residents describe it as cosy and familiar, with a mix of ages and long-term inhabitants. It's very urban with a high address density, yet nature is close by. There are many families and a good share of owner-occupied homes.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes commuting by rail quite convenient from this location.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Enschedese Schoolvereniging at 101 m, Christelijke basisschool De Fontein at 290 m, and Openbare Basisschool La Res at 510 m. Secondary schools are also close, at 0.7 km.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home likely has single glazing, poor insulation, and an older heating system. Expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. Renovation could improve the label and reduce costs.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 199 m². Whether that includes a garden or is mostly built-up is not stated.
