Living in Enschede-Noord: student neighbourhood, family area or both?
Enschede-Noord is a neighbourhood with multiple faces. The proximity of the University of Twente, particularly around the Drienerveld and UT campus, attracts many students and young professionals. This explains the large group of 15-25-year-olds (nearly 4,800) and the high proportion of single-person households (over 7,000). But there are also plenty of families and older residents, especially in quieter areas such as Bolhaar, Mekkelholt and Roombeek-Roomveldje. Roombeek was completely rebuilt after the fireworks disaster and has its own modern character with striking architecture and the Rijksmuseum Twenthe just around the corner.
Residents of Enschede-Noord give the neighbourhood a 7.8 on Buurtje.nl. Accessibility (8.8) and amenities (8.6) score notably high. That is not surprising: the neighbourhood has several supermarkets, GP out-of-hours centres, primary schools such as Prinseschool and Het Bijvank, and sports clubs including football club Vogido. Resident Robin confirms this: he lives close to the Service Centre North and the fire station, and appreciates that the GP out-of-hours centre is easily accessible. The score for education (8.2) is also high, partly thanks to the proximity of Bonhoeffer College and of course the university itself.
In terms of accessibility, you are well placed. Bus routes 1 and 9 of Twents connect the neighbourhood with Enschede city centre and Enschede station, where trains depart for Hengelo, Almelo and Zwolle. By car, you can quickly reach the A35/A1 via the Weerseloseweg and the N35. The municipality of Enschede is also investing in better cycle routes to the city centre. Green space scores a 7.8: Wooldrikspark and the green UT campus offer space for walking and running. What scores lower is sense of community (6.8) and cleanliness (6.8). Resident Gerald puts it honestly: "It's a tidy neighbourhood, but there are a few people who look for trouble. Otherwise, it's not extremely clean because there's a lot of dog poo." Resident Janneke notes that some neighbours keep a close eye on you. That social aspect is something to consider if you want to buy a home here.

Good, nothing more, safe house
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a tidy neighbourhood but there are a few people who pick fights and have constant issues with the enforcement, which puts the neighbourhood in a bad light. Other than that, it's not extremely clean because there's a lot of dog poo.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion, it's actually quite a good neighbourhood. Nothing very crazy ever happens, except for some neighbours who can be weird and very annoying. Personally, I live close to the service centre north and the fire station, so the GP out-of-hours service and, for safety, the fire brigade are nice and close. I also have little trouble from the fire brigade.
