City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis is a room for rent in a building on Wilhelminastraat, right in the centre of Enschede. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €437 per month, the rent is 59% below the neighbourhood average of €1,060, a keen price for a room in this area. For more context, see other rooms in Enschede.
City is the bustling centre of Enschede, with a very high density of addresses. It's a young area: many students and single-person households. 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." The neighbourhood City has a lively but sometimes challenging character.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is also a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool a five-minute walk away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get around. The municipality Enschede manages the city centre, which has a mix of shops, restaurants and services.
At the time of writing the home is listed only. The agent has not published the energy label, so that detail is not available here.

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 Wilhelminastraat 7-46, Enschede
Yes, it is a keen price. The average rent for a room in the City neighbourhood is €426, and this room is €437, very close to that. Compared to the overall rental market in the neighbourhood (average €1,060), it is 59% lower, but that is because it is a room, not a whole home.
On average, rental homes in City are let within 19 days. That suggests a fast-moving market, so if you are interested, it is worth acting promptly.
City has a large student population, with many young people and single-person households. Reviews mention that it is convenient for shops and the university, but also note issues like junkies and lack of social cohesion. It is a lively, urban area.
The train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities.
Yes, Jumbo is just 114 metres away, and Ekoplaza is 150 metres. SPAR and Albert Heijn are also within a few minutes' walk.
