Living in Park Stokhorst, Enschede
Park Stokhorst is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of Enschede, characterised by wide streets, plenty of private greenery, and a predominantly mature population. The largest age group is 65-plus, which immediately says something about the pace and character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, orderly, and there is little social nuisance. The housing stock largely consists of 1970s and 1980s single-family homes, often with a spacious garden and a garage. Detached homes exist but are scarce and expensive.
Resident Iris describes the neighbourhood aptly: "It's a cosy neighbourhood with sufficient amenities. There is little to no nuisance and I feel safe." She gives the neighbourhood a 7.5 and mentions the only downsides as a lack of more nature right on the doorstep and a terrace or restaurant.
