City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on H.J. van Heekplein, right in the city centre. The listing does not state a house number, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the room itself. At €453 per month, the rent is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €1,060, but that's because it's a room, not a whole home. For more context, have a look at other rooms in Enschede.
The neighbourhood, neighbourhood City, is densely built and very urban, with over 4,200 addresses per square kilometre. It's a young area: nearly 40% of residents are between 15 and 45, and most households are single-person. Reviews are mixed. One resident says: "I've been living here for over 2 years now. The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Everything is very close by, which is super convenient." Another is less positive: "There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion. There is also a lot of crime." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.82 out of 10.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Al Ummah and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. The city park is also a ten-minute walk, offering a bit of green. The municipality Enschede manages the area.

I've been living here for over 2 years now. Above a shop (our own shop). The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Many new buildings are being built for students and first-time buyers! Everything is very close by, which is super convenient. There are many rubbish bins and also racks for deposit bottles. Great neighbourhood!!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a shop in the city centre... 83 years in the family. Over the years, the inner city has changed a lot! And not for the better. Demolition of beautiful buildings, many empty shop premises where unfortunately only the so-called "fortune seekers" often settle. The result is that they are empty again after a while! It is often made difficult for shopkeepers because of all the rules from the municipality. Rules thought up by gentlemen somewhere in a warm office who don't even seem to know the whole situation in the city themselves. Streets are closed, the car park in our neighbourhood closed, and that, as they say, for a higher purpose! No, it is certainly not a pleasure to be a small independent business in a city like Enschede where there is only room for large worthless chains like Primark, Sissy Boy XL and Action. No more appreciation for a decent butcher, fish or fruit shop. Very unfortunate but that is the reality in Enschede.
Auto-translated to English by AIEnschede is not really my place to live. There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion. The house is easily accessible by public transport, as it is a 7-minute walk from the station. However, if you drive into the city centre by car, you can only do so between 7 and 11 o'clock. If you have your own car, you can't park it anywhere; it can be a 20-minute walk. School is very close, you have the UT, ROC van Twente and Saxion. Living in the city centre is convenient because everything is close by in terms of shops. There is also a lot of crime in the neighbourhood, young people walking around with weapons (apparently) and many junkies arguing over money and drugs. The houses in the centre are old and poorly insulated; you pay an arm and a leg for rent and gas, water, electricity. There is little greenery, although there is the city park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy. Enschede is a beautiful city and I live right in the centre. The station is nearby and there is also a lovely city park a 10-minute walk from my home. A downside is that in summer the city can smell quite unpleasant, and therefore my home too. If you open the windows, it stinks quite a bit. Furthermore, you also have to deal with the noise of the nightlife from Friday to Sunday.

About H.J. van Heekplein, Enschede
At €453 per month, this room is priced below the average for rooms in the neighbourhood (€426 is the average for rooms, but this one is slightly above that). Compared to the overall rental market in City, where the median rent is €1,065, it's a budget-friendly option. However, without knowing the floor area, it's hard to judge value per square metre.
City is a very urban area with many students and young people. One resident notes that the University of Twente, ROC van Twente and Saxion are all close by. However, the same resident mentions a lack of social cohesion and issues with crime. Another resident praises the convenience of having everything nearby. It's a lively but mixed environment.
The train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities.
Yes, Albert Heijn is just 160 metres away, Jumbo at 308 metres, and SPAR at 363 metres. You can do your daily shopping on foot.
