De wesselerbrink is a mixed neighbourhood

There are many problem youths in this neighbourhood. Probably because of people with lower incomes.

Good

I 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.

A quiet green neighbourhood, mix of cultures

I'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.

I 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.

Wonderful place to live

I've been living here for almost 32 years now and have never lived in such a pleasant environment before. Nice people, nature within walking distance. And shops also within walking distance. Recreation area 5 minutes by bike. So I am very satisfied.
