How residents experience their district
Great walking with the dog, the Rutbeek nearby, lots of peace and quiet!
Auto-translated to English by AIThis area is truly rural. 5 minutes' walk to a swimming pond, 5 seconds' walk to trees, birds and squirrels. Only 5 seconds? That's right, you open your door and you're in your own garden with trees where you find this. Then you think, this is really in the middle of nowhere. Here's the fun part: 5 minutes by car or 10 minutes by bike and you're in a large shopping centre with 3 supermarkets, clothing stores and whatever else you need. It's a neighbourhood where neighbourliness still prevails, rubbish rarely lies on the ground and if it does, there's always someone who will clean it up. Of course, you can also do that yourself. Because it's a rural area, there are many through streets and you can literally travel from north to south and from east to west. Public transport is a bit less organised, but you don't need it either. If you have small children, there is a small primary school, but they do work with combined classes. Hence the lower score.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn terms of safety at home, there was a home invasion where we were all tied up and a police raid without clear reason, so that doesn't really give a safe feeling. Accessibility: a few years ago the bus stop right outside our door was abolished, and now the last nearby bus stop has also been removed, so nowadays you have to walk 25 minutes and the buses often don't show up either, but by car it's reasonably manageable. However, for cycling there are also many unpaved roads that can turn into a huge muddy mess.

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.
