City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on Molenstraat, 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 €315 a month, the rent is well below the neighbourhood average for a room (€426), making it a keen option for a student or young professional. For context, rooms in Enschede are in high demand.
The City neighbourhood is densely built and very urban, with over 4,200 addresses per square kilometre. It's a young area: nearly 70% of residents are under 45, and most households are single people. Reviews are mixed. 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." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.8 out of 10. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood City.
Daily errands are easy: Ekoplaza is just around the corner, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and SPAR is also within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School is a couple of streets away, and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city park is about a ten-minute walk. 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.
