Living in Eilermarke, Enschede
Eilermarke is located on the eastern side of Enschede, close to the German border. The neighbourhood has a quiet, green character that clearly differs from the more urban districts closer to the centre. The homes were predominantly built in the 1970s and 1980s, with spacious plots, plenty of greenery in the gardens and wide streets. They are not striking architectural gems, but the scale and space are what residents appreciate here.
The population structure says a lot about the neighbourhood: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by families with children. It is a neighbourhood where people have lived for years and do not leave quickly, which also explains the limited annual sales volume. Seniors are still relatively underrepresented, but that is gradually changing. The average income of €35,500 is higher than both the district and municipal averages, which fits with the purchase prices.
For daily groceries, you can go to supermarkets in the nearby town of Glanerbrug, a few minutes away by bike. Glanerbrug has a small shopping street with a bakery, butcher and a few shops for daily needs. For a larger range of shops, you go to the centre of Enschede, about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. Primary schools are accessible within the neighbourhood or in Glanerbrug itself. Sports clubs, including football and tennis clubs, are present in the immediate vicinity.
