That there are many Tokis, the cube is a shit school and yes
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here, I feel safe, I have a good relationship with the neighbours, I hope to grow very old here
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always quarrelling and emergency services
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood, friendly neighbours. Highly recommended to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the last few years, the neighbourhood has been characterised by dumping old rubbish on the streets, drug dealing, violence, aggression and burglaries. Living in this neighbourhood gives you anything but a safe feeling.
Auto-translated to English by AILots of rubbish on the street, weird characters walking through the neighbourhoods. Quadruple murder committed. Sounds like a “safe neighbourhood”. If you fit in, you can live here just fine, but if not, you don't really have the opportunity to do other things since there's very little to do in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and safe area Only a lot of rubbish behind the apartment complex
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood and you hardly have any trouble with anything, not even with loitering youths.

Experiences from Enschede
How residents experience their municipality
Good, nothing more, safe house
Auto-translated to English by AINice, neat and quiet neighbourhood. Lots of greenery, few high-rise buildings, which I really like. We ourselves live in an apartment where we feel at home. The neighbours in our apartment are all older Enschede residents and Glanerbrug residents. Nice complex to live in. The view from our apartment is beautiful, lots of greenery, and you can easily walk into the countryside. However, the shops, apart from a few, are further away. I personally find that a disadvantage. You really need transport if you want to go somewhere. Not everyone can cycle or has a car. I feel safe here; in the 6 years I've lived here, I personally haven't experienced anything that could give an unsafe feeling. You also don't see groups of young people hanging around here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a tidy neighbourhood but there are a few people who pick fights and have constant issues with the enforcement, which puts the neighbourhood in a bad light. Other than that, it's not extremely clean because there's a lot of dog poo.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many problem youths in this neighbourhood. Probably because of people with lower incomes.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice living in this neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be nice and cosy. Now all kinds of people move in whom you still don't know after 2 years. Few amenities, nothing to do here. Nature is being destroyed by rich stickers who want to build a house.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not a nice neighbourhood to live in, junkies are on every corner and everything gets stolen.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with plenty of amenities, there are many different family compositions and the residents are approachable and pleasant to interact with. However, in my immediate vicinity there is crime such as theft (bicycles/scooters/items) and (car) break-ins. It's a fairly green neighbourhood close to Volkspark, which is of course pleasant, but it could also use some improvement in aesthetics. In my immediate area, street hygiene could certainly be improved, especially the amount of litter on the streets. Overall, the neighbourhood is easily accessible, but to get to places more central in the district you usually have to take a detour.
