Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very beautiful. Lots of greenery and very safe for children. Playground right outside the door. And a nice clean neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII live here in Enschede, it's a very international environment. People are very welcoming, friendly and respectful. I am a black woman married to an Arab man and in Amsterdam, Zaandam, Koog aan de Zaan, and Beverwijk when I lived there we experienced a lot of racism and were afraid for our children when they got older. Enschede honestly gives a different picture of the Netherlands, it's very quiet and friendly, and also a plus point it's very affordable to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Wesselerbrink Noord-West for years and experience it as a pleasant neighbourhood with lots of greenery and play space. There's a good mix of young and old, and the neighbourhood has become increasingly liveable in recent years. Shops and amenities are nearby, and people greet each other on the street. Sometimes there are minor nuisances, but overall I feel safe and at home here.
Auto-translated to English by AII truly feel blessed to live in such a beautiful neighbourhood. Every morning I wake up to the sound of birds singing and the smell of fresh air. The streets are clean and green, with trees that offer something beautiful in every season. What I perhaps appreciate most is the atmosphere among the people. Everyone greets each other, and there is a sense of peace and connection. Children play safely in the street, neighbours help each other when needed, and there is always a cosy gathering or market in the area. Whether I take a walk in the park around the corner, grab a coffee at that snug café on the corner, or just sit on a bench to enjoy the sun — this neighbourhood truly feels like home.
