Living in Hogeland-Noord, Enschede
Hogeland-Noord lies directly north of Enschede city centre, wedged between the ring road and the railway line towards Gronau. It is a typical post-war urban neighbourhood with a mix of porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, terraced houses, and a few newer apartments here and there. The streets are narrow, the buildings are compact, and the gardens are small. It is not a neighbourhood that will blow you away with architecture, but it is functional and the location close to the city centre makes up for a lot. Anyone looking for a rental home here will mainly find two- and three-room apartments in the social sector and occasionally a larger apartment in the private sector.
Facilities in and around Hogeland-Noord
For daily groceries, you can walk to the Aldi or Jumbo on the Hogelandsingel and surrounding area. The city centre shopping area is within a ten-minute walk. Primary school De Eschmarke and childcare centres are in the immediate vicinity, and for secondary education, Bonhoeffer College and Stedelijk Lyceum are easily accessible. Sports facilities can be found at sportpark Het Diekman, a bike ride away to the south. What stands out: the neighbourhood itself is not green. Resident Veerle puts it clearly: "Apart from a few trees and grass patches, there is no nature." For a walk in the greenery, you need to cycle to Volkspark or Lonnekermeer. Dining and nightlife are in the city centre, which is literally around the corner.
Accessibility of Hogeland-Noord

Residents give Hogeland-Noord a 6.0 out of 10 based on 2 reviews. Accessibility scores the highest at 7.5, while greenery (4.5) and sense of community (5.5) receive the lowest scores. Veerle writes: "It is a safe neighbourhood where many diverse people live. That can sometimes clash, and in my opinion, there is not really a neighbourhood feel because of it."

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a safe neighbourhood, where a lot of diverse people live. That can sometimes clash a bit and because of that, in my opinion, there isn't really a sense of community. The neighbourhood is also very close to the city, which makes it very accessible and close to everything, but apart from a few trees and grassy patches, there is no nature.
