Living in Hogeland-Zuid, Enschede

Hogeland-Zuid feels like a quiet, mature residential neighbourhood on the south side of Enschede. The streets are laid out wide, there is plenty of greenery between the homes, and traffic does not cut through. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: solid semi-detached and detached houses on spacious plots, interspersed with some terraced houses. These are homes that are not modern in character, but which residents appreciate precisely for the space, gardens and tranquillity they offer.

The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. That says something about the pace in the streets: it is not a neighbourhood where you cycle past busy playgrounds on a Saturday morning, although there are certainly families with children. The atmosphere is subdued and friendly; residents know each other.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Winkelcentrum Wesselerbrink is a short bike ride away, as are several supermarkets along Gronausestraat and Hengelosestraat. Primary schools can be found in and around the neighbourhood, and for secondary education there are several schools accessible in the wider Enschede-Zuid area. Sports clubs for football, tennis and swimming are represented in the neighbourhood itself or directly adjacent.

In terms of accessibility, Hogeland-Zuid scores reasonably. By bike, you can reach the centre of Enschede in twenty minutes, and by car via Hengelosestraat or the ring road, Enschede Centraal station is reachable in a quarter of an hour. Bus connections run via Gronausestraat towards the centre and station. The connection to the A35 towards Almelo and Hengelo is manageable via the southern ring road, although you notice during rush hour that the arterial roads can get busier.

Residents appreciate Hogeland-Zuid especially for its tranquillity, space and greenery. On the neighbourhood page of Hogeland-Zuid you can read all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores in detail. One resident describes the neighbourhood as follows: "It is quiet and green here, the neighbours know each other and you can tell people enjoy living here. Not exciting, but that's not necessary either." Criticisms sometimes concern the limited supply of hospitality and evening activities in the neighbourhood itself, and the fact that for more urban entertainment you really have to go to the centre.

Compared to neighbouring areas, Hogeland-Zuid has a somewhat quieter and greener character than the more urban Velve-Lindenhof. Wooldrik lies slightly further north and has a similar quiet profile, but with a slightly different housing mix. Those looking for more variety in housing types can also look at Varvik-Diekman. The entire district Hogeland - Velve has an average WOZ value of €302,000, with Hogeland-Zuid clearly standing out above it. This reflects the larger and more expensive homes located here.
