Auto-translated to English by AILots of rubbish on the street, weird characters walking through the neighbourhoods. Quadruple murder committed. Sounds like a “safe neighbourhood”. If you fit in, you can live here just fine, but if not, you don't really have the opportunity to do other things since there's very little to do in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood and you hardly have any trouble with anything, not even with loitering youths.

About Oliemolensingel 135, Enschede
The asking price is €2,950,000, which is 475% above the neighbourhood average of €512,618. It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Velve-Lindenhof.
