City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on Stadsgravenstraat, 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 €475 a month, the rent is 55% 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 reviews are mixed. One resident says: "I've been living here for over 2 years now. The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Many new buildings are being built for students and first-time buyers! Everything is very close by." Another notes: "There are a lot of junkies, people really live for themselves and there is no social cohesion." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.82 out of 10. The area is densely populated with mostly single-person households, and many residents are students or young professionals.
For daily groceries, SPAR is on your doorstep, and Jumbo is just around the corner. There are also several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School. The municipality Enschede offers a range of amenities, with restaurants and a library just a couple of streets away.

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 Stadsgravenstraat, Enschede
Yes, €475 is well below the average rent for rooms in the City neighbourhood, which is around €426. Compared to other rental homes in the area (average €1,060), this is a very affordable option. However, without knowing the floor area or energy label, it's hard to judge value per square metre.
The City neighbourhood is the bustling centre of Enschede, with a mix of students, young professionals and long-term residents. Reviews are mixed: some praise the convenience and new developments, while others mention issues with social cohesion and crime. The area scores 6.82 out of 10 based on four reviews.
