As a student you don't notice much, but it seems like a pleasant neighbourhood to live in later as an adult.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've lived here for almost 45 years and feel fine and safe, although a lot has changed over time. Not all for the better either. But hey, that's life, isn't it. It is and remains an old neighbourhood, our neighbourhood, our home.

About Schouwinkstraat 52, Enschede
The asking price of €350,000 is in line with what other terraced houses in Enschede sell for. The house has 95 m² of living space and a 135 m² plot, which is typical for a 1928 home. The energy label E means higher energy costs, so factor that in. Without specific market data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.
Schreurserve is an established neighbourhood on the edge of Enschede. Residents describe it as cosy and familiar, with easy access to nature. It's very urban (2,900 addresses per km²) but has a park just 400 metres away. The population is mixed: many singles, some families, and a good number of older residents. It feels safe and lived-in, though one long-term resident notes that things have changed over the years.
The train station is 1.9 km from the house, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's convenient for commuting to other cities.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Jumbo, Aldi, and Lidl are all about 800-900 metres away. Primary schools are even closer: Christelijke basisschool De Fontein is 200 metres away, and Enschedese Schoolvereniging is 270 metres. Secondary schools are about 700 metres away. Daily errands are easy on foot.
Energy label E means the house is not very energy-efficient. Built in 1928, it likely has single glazing and poor insulation. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. It's worth considering improvements like double glazing or insulation, but the costs should be weighed against the purchase price.
The plot is 135 m², which typically includes some outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
