The rental market in Enschede
Enschede has the feel of a student city, and the University of Twente drives much of that. Thousands of students arrive each year needing rooms and small apartments, and that demand peaks hard around the start of the academic year. Outside the student segment, starters and young families compete for the same limited pool of affordable housing in a city that was largely rebuilt during the 20th century.

Be among the first to respond, every time. Most Addressly users receive their first viewing invitation on the day they sign up, often within hours, because Addressly sends the request the moment a match appears instead of whenever you next check. This still depends on your preferences, budget and the current state of the Enschede market.

Decide first whether you need to be near the University of Twente campus or the city centre, since those sit on opposite sides of town and a listing near one can mean a long ride to the other. Set your maximum rent and minimum size before you start browsing, so you can judge a new listing in seconds rather than deliberating each time.
Addressly monitors listings matching your preferences and can send a viewing request from your own inbox as soon as a match appears, which matters in a city where students and starters are often competing for the same rooms.
