City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on Haverstraatpassage, 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 €375 per month, the rent is 65% below the neighbourhood average of €1,060, a keen price for a room in this area. For context, you can compare with other rooms in Enschede.
The neighbourhood City is lively and central, but opinions vary. One resident says: "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." Another resident is less positive: "Enschede is not really my place to live. There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.82 out of 10. The area is densely populated, with many one-person households and a young population, typical for a city centre.
Daily life here is all about convenience. Jumbo is on your doorstep at just 13 metres, and Ekoplaza is just around the corner. For bread or a quick shop, you can also walk to SPAR (a couple of streets away) or Albert Heijn (a five-minute walk). There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool (a five-minute walk) and Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School (a couple of streets away). The municipality Enschede manages the city centre, which has seen changes over the years, some residents appreciate the new developments, others miss the old character.
At the time of writing, the room is listed through several channels, including Vlug Wonen and Pararius. The agent has not published full specs such as floor area or energy label, so the information here is based on the street and neighbourhood data.

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.
