Living in Hogeland - Velve: an honest picture of a neighbourhood with two faces
Hogeland - Velve is a neighbourhood you cannot sum up in one sentence. On the neighbourhood page of Hogeland - Velve, residents give the area a 6.7 out of 10, but behind that average lie extremes. Resident Rita gives it a 9 and writes: "I really enjoy living here, I feel safe, I have a good relationship with the neighbours." On the other hand, another resident warns of "drug dealing, violence and mess on the street" and gives a 3.3. That divide is characteristic: it makes a big difference which part of the neighbourhood you end up in. The sub-areas Hogeland-Zuid and 't Weldink have a different character than, for example, Velve-Lindenhof, where the social rental segment is larger.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores variably. Education receives a notably high 8.2 from residents. In the neighbourhood you will find primary schools such as De Noordbrug and Het Bijvank, and the Bonhoeffer College for secondary education is within cycling distance.

For more extensive shopping, you go to the centre of Enschede, which is about a ten-minute bike ride away. Green space scores the lowest at 5.5: there are some parks and playgrounds, but you miss a really large park. The Volkspark and Diekmanpark are just outside the neighbourhood, towards Varvik-Diekman.
Accessibility is a strong point and scores an 8.0. Enschede station is within cycling distance and offers direct trains to Hengelo, Almelo and Zwolle. Several bus lines stop along Gronausestraat and Oldenzaalsestraat. The A35 and A1 can be reached within ten minutes by car. The average disposable income of €32,500 is slightly above the Enschede average of €31,200, and the labour participation rate is 62%. The neighbourhood has many single-person households (2,575), which fits the urban character. Resident Quinten calls it "a cosy neighbourhood with friendly neighbours," while others point to nuisance in specific streets. Buying in Hogeland - Velve therefore requires a good look at street level.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn the last few years, the neighbourhood has been characterised by dumping old rubbish on the streets, drug dealing, violence, aggression and burglaries. Living in this neighbourhood gives you anything but a safe feeling.
Auto-translated to English by AILots of rubbish on the street, weird characters walking through the neighbourhoods. Quadruple murder committed. Sounds like a “safe neighbourhood”.
