Very nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIPersonally, I think it's a safe neighbourhood, but that's because I know where I can go and what I'm allowed to do. If I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe. You can encounter strange people here and experience situations that don't happen just like that outside this area. There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it. On top of that, there is simply a lot of poverty here. I see more people on benefits than working, and with each year, more and more homeless people. I see that they are trying their best to modernise the city. They are doing quite well at that, but... take the Aurora flats, for example. They've painted them all nice colours now, but that doesn't mean you've removed the ghetto. The same junkies and dealers still live in the flats as before. And I still wouldn't recommend walking alone in the dark. I think Heerlen is becoming more modern every year, but it remains my crack neighbourhood. Accessibility is fine, but we still don't have things like e-scooters or e-steps. Tram or metro. I can understand the tram and metro, but we are really lagging behind when it comes to e-scooters, etc. A few years ago, we only got those bikes you can rent... and then they basically showed that we can't handle that responsibility at all here. We destroy everything here that has any money in it or doesn't belong to us.

Fijne buurt,gemeenschap,rustig
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the neighbourhood there are many cultured people, very cosy! The only downside is that there are also antisocial people living here.. and they don't give a damn about anything or anyone.. there is little parking space right in front of my door, which is really not pleasant, the neighbourhood itself is quite close-knit and everyone enjoys chatting with each other during New Year's or a summer day. There is hardly any greenery here and there, some bushes here and there but that's about it.. luckily they are busy renovating and greening the part where we live, so that's something I consider a plus point for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, it's often the case that houses have overdue maintenance due to landlords or people who simply don't care about what their house looks like.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, the paving stones could be laid properly and the gardens maintained, and those pesky oak trees could be removed and replaced with nice shrubs.
