Living in Wesselerbrink Noord-Oost, Enschede

Wesselerbrink Noord-Oost is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the south side of Enschede. The district was built in the 1970s and that shows: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, spacious gardens and an urban layout that separates cars and pedestrians. The homes are mainly terraced houses and semi-detached houses, solidly built but often energetically dated. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Wesselerbrink Noord-Oost will notice that the supply of these is limited; the character of the neighbourhood is truly that of a ground-floor residential area.

The atmosphere is down-to-earth and quiet. Neighbours know each other, children play in the street and there is little nuisance from through traffic. At the same time, the neighbourhood is socio-economically vulnerable: the average income is €21,000 per year, the labour participation rate is 44%, and the housing market is dominated by social housing. That colours the neighbourhood in a certain way: it is not a neighbourhood where you find trendy eateries or boutiques, but there is a strong social structure.

For daily shopping you can go to the Wesselerbrink shopping centre, within walking distance of most homes in this part of the neighbourhood. There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools that cater to the diverse population composition of the district. Sports clubs and outdoor sports facilities are present, partly thanks to the proximity of the Diekmanterrein and various football pitches and parks that run through the neighbourhood. Children literally have the space.

Accessibility by car is good: via the Wesselerbrinklaan and the Auke Vleerstraat you are quickly on the N35 towards Almelo or the A35 towards Hengelo and the centre of Enschede. By bicycle, the city centre can be reached in about twenty minutes. By bus, there are lines connecting Wesselerbrink Noord-Oost with the centre and Enschede railway station, from where you can travel to Hengelo, Almelo and beyond. The neighbourhood is thus reasonably self-sufficient but not isolated.

Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Wesselerbrink Noord-Oost you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores per category. One resident writes: "It is quiet and green here, the children can play outside and everyone knows each other a bit. Not spectacular, but nice to live in." Criticism often focuses on the maintenance of public spaces and the limited catering facilities. Anyone wanting a lively city centre around the corner should look further in districts such as Binnensingelgebied or Hogeland - Velve.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Wesselerbrink Noord-West and Wesselerbrink Zuid-Oost, this part of Wesselerbrink has a similar character, although housing types and price levels may vary per street. Stroinkslanden Noord-Oost is also a comparable option if the atmosphere of a quiet 1970s residential area appeals to you.
