Living in Eekmaat West, Enschede

Eekmaat West lies on the eastern side of Enschede, close to the German border, and has a character you won't quickly forget once you've walked around. The neighbourhood is quiet, green and spacious, with wide streets, many private gardens and an atmosphere that feels more like a village than an urban neighbourhood. The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses. There is little high-rise; the scale remains human.

Residents strongly appreciate the surroundings. Oliver, who has lived there for four years, describes it as "very peaceful but fairly out of the way" and gives the neighbourhood an 8.1 out of 10. He emphasises the beautiful natural environment and the fact that basic amenities are accessible, although there are few special facilities within the neighbourhood itself. That is a fair point: for daily shopping you rely on the nearby centres of Glanerbrug or the shopping centre on Gronausestraat. There is no supermarket within walking distance in the neighbourhood itself.

In terms of accessibility: by bike you can reach the centre of Enschede in 15 to 20 minutes, which is fine for an outer neighbourhood. By car, the connection to the N35 and A35 towards Almelo and Hengelo is quick. Bus services run via Glanerbrug to the centre, but the frequency is limited compared to more centrally located districts. Those dependent on public transport will notice that the neighbourhood is somewhat on the edge.

The overall resident score stands at 7.5 out of 10, based on reviews you can read on the information page for Eekmaat West. The community score stands out with a 9.0: residents know each other, it is quiet and there is a certain sense of togetherness. Green also scores high with an 8.5. Amenities are the weakest point with a 6.0, which matches the experiences residents share.
