Pathmos, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Dennenweg sits in Pathmos, a neighbourhood with a mixed reputation. With 98 m² of living space and a generous 522 m² plot, it offers more outdoor space than many homes in the area. The asking price of €398,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €284,000, but the large plot and the fact that it's a semi-detached house (rare in this area) partly explain that. For context, semi-detached houses in Enschede are generally priced higher than other types.
Pathmos is a densely built urban neighbourhood with a very strong city feel (address density 3,185 per km²). The housing stock is mostly pre-war (100% built before 1945) and dominated by single-family homes (89%). Only 14% of homes are owner-occupied, so this house is part of a minority. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it "Restless, lots of weird types" and says "It's not a nice neighbourhood to live in, junkies are on every corner and everything gets stolen." Another describes it as "Cosy" but adds "At the moment it's a mess due to uninhabitable and boarded-up houses." So the Pathmos neighbourhood clearly has its challenges, but also its loyal residents.
For daily shopping, Dirk is just around the corner, and Aldi, Lidl and Albert Heijn are all within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by: Openbare Basisschool De Spinner is on your doorstep, and Christelijke basisschool de Bron is a couple of streets away. Secondary education is about a ten-minute walk. A GP practice is also within walking distance. The city centre of Enschede is easily reachable, and the municipality of Enschede offers a wide range of amenities.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via Vera Welker Makelaars.

About Dennenweg 140, Enschede
The asking price of €398,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €284,000 and also above the maximum of €325,000 for recent sales in Pathmos. However, this is a semi-detached house with a large plot of 522 m², which is uncommon in the area. The price per m² (€4,061) is also higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,089. So it's on the high side, but the unique features justify part of the premium.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In a neighbourhood where most homes for sale have better labels, this means you can expect high heating costs. The house was built in 1936 and likely has limited insulation. Budget for energy bills accordingly.
