Living in Boddenkamp, Enschede
Boddenkamp lies directly east of Enschede's city centre, nestled between the ring roads and the railway line. The neighbourhood has an urban yet quiet character: wide avenues with mature trees, detached villas alongside modest terraced houses, and a mix of residents not found everywhere in Enschede. With 56% highly educated and an average income of €43,000 (compared to €31,200 for the municipality as a whole), this is clearly a neighbourhood where people choose to live deliberately.
The buildings mostly date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with some post-war additions. This is evident in the large plots, characteristic facades and high ceilings that many homes feature. That makes buying an apartment in Boddenkamp or a ground-floor home here different from elsewhere in the city: the homes have character but also require maintenance.
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. The Gronausestraat and Hengelosestraat are within cycling distance and offer supermarkets, shops and eateries. The Volkspark, one of the greenest spots in the city, borders the neighbourhood almost directly. For daily groceries, the Albert Heijn on the Gronausestraat is a popular option. Schools in the immediate vicinity include primary schools on the edge of the neighbourhood and secondary schools in the centre, a short bike ride away.
Accessibility is a strong point. Enschede Central Station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to Hengelo, Almelo and via the Intercity to Amsterdam. By car, you can quickly reach the A35 towards Almelo or the A1 towards Deventer and the Randstad via the Hengelosestraat. Bus lines from Twents connect the neighbourhood with the centre and other parts of the city. Cyclists have it easy: the centre can be reached in five minutes.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace you find here despite the central location. One resident describes it as: "You live close to everything but hear nothing of it, the streets are wide and green and the neighbours know each other." Less positive are some residents about parking, which can be difficult on busy evenings due to narrow streets and limited parking spaces. Read all experiences and scores on the page for Boddenkamp.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as De Laares or Lasonder Zeggelt, Boddenkamp is more expensive and quieter in character. City is more central but has less greenery and fewer ground-floor homes. Those looking for more space on a lower budget could also consider De Bothoven or the districts Hogeland - Velve and Boswinkel - Stadsveld.
Who is buying in Boddenkamp interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and dual-income couples who want to live urban without the hustle and bustle of the centre. The large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (the largest age category) and the high proportion of single-person households show that young professionals also deliberately choose to buy a home here. First-time buyers with a limited budget must take into account the high average purchase price and limited availability: only a handful of homes are sold per year, making overbidding realistic. Seniors will find suitable homes here, but the older building style sometimes means limited accessibility. If buying is not feasible for now, there are also rental properties in Boddenkamp available, although that segment is also tight and predominantly in private hands.
What residents say about Boddenkamp

One resident writes: "Boddenkamp is the neighbourhood you want to live in if you know Enschede. Quiet, green, yet within walking distance of everything." The demographic composition, with a high proportion of highly educated people and an active labour participation rate of 67%, contributes to an engaged neighbourhood community.
