City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis rental room on Nijverheidstraat puts you right in the thick of the city. 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 a month, the rent is 60% below the neighbourhood average of €1,060, a keen price for a room in this area. For more context, have a look at other rooms in Enschede.
City is Enschede's bustling centre, home to about 3,840 people. It's a young area: most households are single-person, and the largest age group is 25 to 45. The streets are busy, the address density is very high, and the vibe is urban through and through. Based on four reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One 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 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." For a deeper dive, check out the neighbourhood City.
You're right in the centre, so everything you need is close. For groceries, SPAR is just around the corner, AH to go is a couple of streets away, and Jumbo is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool Prinseschool and Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city park is about the same distance. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Enschede.
At the time of writing the room is listed only via Kamernet. The agent has not published full specs such as the exact address, floor area, year of construction 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 Nijverheidstraat, Enschede
Yes, it's a keen price. The average rent for a room in City is €426, so this is right in line. Compared to the overall neighbourhood average for rentals (€1,060), it's 60% lower, but that's because most rentals are larger apartments, not rooms.
Properties in City are rented out quickly, on average within 19 days. That suggests demand is high, so if you're interested, you'll want to act promptly.
City is the lively centre of Enschede, with a very high density of addresses and a young population. It's a mix of students, young professionals and some families. Reviews are mixed: some love the convenience and new developments, while others mention issues like litter, crime and a lack of social cohesion.
Enschede station is about 800 metres away, a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities.
SPAR is just 186 metres away, AH to go at 283 metres, and Jumbo at 423 metres. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are also within a ten-minute walk.
Kamernet has published only the street and price.
