Buyer's guide: Enschede
Enschede has 417 properties listed on RealEstateAbroad, and 362 of them are houses. With a median ask of €350,000, it is one of the more affordable university cities in the Netherlands, and it sits right on the German border. This guide covers prices, family-home supply and the Dutch buying process.
Price table
Asking prices from current listings on RealEstateAbroad; Dutch sales often close above or below the first ask, so use these as a starting reference.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Active listings | 417 |
| Median asking price | €350,000 |
| Middle half (p25 to p75) | €285,000 to €495,000 |
| Median price per m² | €3,438 |
| Median size | 109 m² |
Mostly family houses
Houses account for 362 listings, apartments for 54, and there is a single villa. Bedrooms: 150 four-bedroom, 127 three-bedroom, 71 two-bedroom, 37 with five or more and 20 one-bedroom. That is a family-sized market. Buyers wanting a small flat for a student or an investment will find limited supply, but the apartment pages show what is available nationally, and the house pages give wider context.
A three- or four-bedroom home at the median costs far less than the same house near Amsterdam, which is the main appeal for relocating families and Germans crossing the border.

What Enschede is like
Enschede is the largest city in the Twente region, with the University of Twente and a large Saxion applied-sciences campus feeding steady demand for rooms and small homes. The centre is compact, with a rebuilt market square and cafes, and there is a direct rail line to Hengelo and onward to Amsterdam. Germany is a few kilometres east.
Nearby towns offer alternative price points and a quieter feel: Hengelo is the other main Twente city, Oldenzaal is smaller and close to the border, Borne and Almelo are commuter-friendly, and Lochem is greener and pricier.
Dutch buying process in brief
- Agree a price, often after bidding against other offers.
- Sign the purchase deed with a three-day cooling-off period.
- Pay a deposit (often 10%) or provide a bank guarantee.
- Have a civil-law notary complete the transfer.
Transfer tax is 2% for an owner-occupier, 8% for other homes such as investments, so who is buying matters. Foreigners can buy freely, but a non-resident mortgage is harder to arrange; read our Netherlands financing page and the country guide before you start. A building survey is optional but worthwhile on pre-1980 stock.

Buying property in Enschede: FAQ
Is Enschede a good place to buy property?
It is a steady regional city with a large student population, a family housing stock and prices below the Randstad. With 417 listings, there is enough choice to compare neighbourhoods.
How much does a house cost in Enschede?
The median asking price is €350,000 across all types, and the middle half runs from €285,000 to €495,000. Median size is 109 m².
Do I pay 2% or 8% transfer tax?
Owner-occupiers who live in the home pay 2%, while other residential buyers pay 8%. Check your own situation with a notary or tax adviser, because the rules turn on use.
Can a foreigner buy a house in the Netherlands?
Yes, there is no general restriction on foreign buyers. The practical hurdles are the tax number, a Dutch notary and, if borrowing, lender requirements for non-residents.
