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 €425 per month, the rent is 60% below the neighbourhood average of €1,060, a keen price for a room in this area. For context, see other rooms in Enschede.
The neighbourhood City is the bustling heart of Enschede, with 3,840 residents and a very high density of addresses. It's a young area: most inhabitants are between 15 and 45, and households are mostly single-person. Based on four reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "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 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 in the neighbourhood." The neighbourhood City clearly has two sides: lively and central, but with urban challenges.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just 13 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Ekoplaza and SPAR are also just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, the nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool, is a five-minute walk away, and there are several others within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Enschede provides all the usual city amenities, with restaurants and a library just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the room is listed via Vlug Wonen and also appears on Pararius. The agent has not published full specs such as floor area or energy label.

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 Haverstraatpassage, Enschede
Yes, it is keen. The average rent for a room in the City neighbourhood is €426, so this room is priced right in line with the local market. Compared to the overall neighbourhood average for all rentals (€1,060), it is 60% lower, but that reflects the difference between a room and a full home.
Homes in City are rented out quickly, on average within 19 days. This suggests a fast-moving market, so if you are interested, it is worth acting promptly.
City is a young, student-friendly area with many single-person households. One resident says: "Living in the city centre is convenient because everything is close by in terms of shops. School is very close, you have the UT, ROC van Twente and Saxion." However, another notes downsides: "There are a lot of junkies... and many junkies arguing over money and drugs." It is lively but not without its issues.
The train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities.
Jumbo is just 13 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Ekoplaza (137 m) and SPAR (280 m) are also just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (434 m).
