Auto-translated to English by AIThis area is truly rural. 5 minutes' walk to a swimming pond, 5 seconds' walk to trees, birds and squirrels. Only 5 seconds? That's right, you open your door and you're in your own garden with trees where you find this. Then you think, this is really in the middle of nowhere. Here's the fun part: 5 minutes by car or 10 minutes by bike and you're in a large shopping centre with 3 supermarkets, clothing stores and whatever else you need. It's a neighbourhood where neighbourliness still prevails, rubbish rarely lies on the ground and if it does, there's always someone who will clean it up. Of course, you can also do that yourself. Because it's a rural area, there are many through streets and you can literally travel from north to south and from east to west. Public transport is a bit less organised, but you don't need it either. If you have small children, there is a small primary school, but they do work with combined classes. Hence the lower score.

About Usselerveenweg 116, Enschede
The asking price of €745,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €752,500, but the home's floor area (103 m²) is about half the neighbourhood average (212 m²). The large plot (1006 m²) and excellent energy label (A+++) add value. Compared to other detached homes in Enschede, the price per m² (€7,233) is above the neighbourhood average of €4,665/m², so you're paying a premium for the plot and efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, only 33% of homes have label A or better, so this is a standout feature.
The plot measures 1006 m², which is generous for a home of this size. It offers plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities, or even extensions (subject to planning permission). The rural setting means you have direct access to nature from your own garden.
