Very friendly neighborhood. The people are nice and friendly
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is visibly unsafe in the neighbourhood. Drugs are used, there are many loitering youths and graffiti. The public space is cheaply furnished. Houses are from the 1960s and in a state of disrepair. There is a lot of litter on the streets and sometimes problems with mice and other vermin. There is no neighbourhood supermarket, unless you count the petrol station. The square with amenities looks neglected.

Auto-translated to English by AILive there pleasantly. People are kind.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, fine, village-like, lots of nature/gardens, forest. Beautiful cycling routes…. Safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, nothing more, safe house
Auto-translated to English by AINice, neat and quiet neighbourhood. Lots of greenery, few high-rise buildings, which I really like. We ourselves live in an apartment where we feel at home. The neighbours in our apartment are all older Enschede residents and Glanerbrug residents. Nice complex to live in. The view from our apartment is beautiful, lots of greenery, and you can easily walk into the countryside. However, the shops, apart from a few, are further away. I personally find that a disadvantage. You really need transport if you want to go somewhere. Not everyone can cycle or has a car. I feel safe here; in the 6 years I've lived here, I personally haven't experienced anything that could give an unsafe feeling. You also don't see groups of young people hanging around here.
