Nice, very quiet neighbourhood with nice houses
Auto-translated to English by AIRight from the start, men were busy using drugs. The municipality of Kerkrade did little with the police, and it hasn't helped at all; drug dealers are still active. Luckily, we are now in a safe place where you can go for a walk without worry. The municipality of Kerkrade is driving families away from Kerkrade and prefers Ukrainian people over their own Dutch people. It would be good if Russia dropped a bomb on the town hall of Kerkrade; then maybe something good would come back in its place.

About Bleijerheiderstraat 143, Kerkrade
The asking price is 44% below the average asking price in Bleijerheide (€301,495) and is the cheapest of the 19 apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area is 51% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 215 m², and the energy label E means higher heating costs. Compared to similar apartments in the area, the price is keen, but the lower square footage and energy efficiency should be factored in.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with a better label. In Bleijerheide, 42% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth considering when budgeting.
Resident reviews are mixed. One resident mentions drug activity and says the municipality has done little, while another says the neighbourhood is quiet and nice. A third notes occasional arguments and rubbish dumping. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 209, but without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
Basisschool Bleijerheide is just 125 metres away, and Openbare Basisschool de Schatkist is about 600 metres. For secondary education, Het Martin Buber is 1.4 km away and Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is 1.6 km. There are 17 schools within 5 km, so plenty of options.
The nearest train station is 2 km from the apartment. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
PLUS and Aldi are both about 680 metres away, a five-minute walk. Jumbo is 1.2 km, a ten-minute walk. Albert Heijn is 1.8 km. So daily groceries are easily within walking distance.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: about 600 with children and 625 without. There are primary schools within walking distance and a park just 300 metres away. However, some reviews mention drug activity and rubbish, so it's worth exploring the immediate street yourself.
