City, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 terraced house on Oldenzaalsestraat sits right in the thick of Enschede's city centre. With 104 m² of living space and a 145 m² plot, it's a compact but characterful home. The energy label is G, so heating costs will be a real consideration. At €325,000, the asking price is 36% below the neighbourhood average of €508,632, which makes it a keen entry point compared to other terraced houses in Enschede.
The City neighbourhood is the beating heart of Enschede, with a very high address density of 4,234 addresses per km². It's a young area: nearly 40% of residents are between 15 and 45, and most households are single-person. Reviews are mixed. One resident says: "The neighbourhood is very friendly and tidy. Everything is very close by, which is super convenient." Another notes: "There is little social cohesion. There is also a lot of crime in the neighbourhood." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.82 out of 10. For more context, see the City neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is a doddle: Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, Jumbo is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. For primary schools, Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School is a five-minute walk, and Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool is also within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. The city park is a ten-minute walk too, offering a bit of green. For more on the wider area, check out the municipality of Enschede.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Prenger Makelaardij o.g. B.V.

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 Oldenzaalsestraat 99, Enschede
The asking price of €325,000 is 36% below the average asking price in the City neighbourhood, which is €508,632. The median asking price in the area is €375,000, so this home is priced below that too. However, the energy label G means higher energy costs, which may be a factor. Terraced houses in Enschede vary widely, so it's worth comparing with similar properties.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is poorly insulated and heating costs will be high. In the City neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: 16.7% have label A+, 33.3% label B, and 38.9% label C. Only 11.1% are rated D or lower, so this home is at the bottom end of the scale.
The City neighbourhood is very central, with supermarkets like Ekoplaza and Jumbo within a few minutes' walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. However, residents report mixed experiences: some appreciate the convenience and tidiness, while others mention crime and a lack of social cohesion. The area has a high density of young people and students.
The neighbourhood recorded 1,924 total crimes, which is high given the population of 3,840. Some residents mention issues with junkies and young people carrying weapons. However, others find the area friendly and tidy. It's a busy city centre location, so some level of nuisance is common.
The house was built in 1935, so it's a pre-war property. The energy label G suggests it has not been modernised in terms of insulation or heating. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some updating may be needed.
The plot size is 145 m², which is larger than the floor area of 104 m², so there is likely some outdoor space. However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, terrace, or balcony. The exact layout of the outdoor area is not stated.
The train station is 0.8 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting or trips to other cities.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool Het Zeggelt Montessori-School (401 m), Openbare Basisschool De Bothoven Freinetbasisschool (471 m), and Openbare Basisschool La Res (745 m). Secondary schools are about 1.7 km away.
