About Bokstraat 43, Heerlen
The WOZ value is €186,000, with a reference date of 1 January 2025. The asking price of €1,049,000 is 464% above that valuation. The WOZ is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not a direct reflection of the current market value. The difference is notable, but the WOZ and the asking price are simply two different figures, and no conclusion is drawn here about which one is right.
There are two different figures for the floor area. The BAG registration records 95 square metres, while the agent's listing states 457 square metres. Both are mentioned here with their respective sources, and the difference is not explained. The price per square metre of €2,295 is based on the agent's figure of 457 square metres.
The home carries an A+++ energy label, which is an efficient label. According to the agent, the property is fully insulated, with roof insulation, triple glazing, wall insulation and floor insulation, and it is heated by a heat pump. These are separate facts: the label and the insulation features are both stated, but no direct link is made between them.
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, according to area-level data. The home was built in 1920, and the soil type is sand. This is an indication at area level, not an inspection of this specific property. No further conclusions are drawn here about the actual condition of the foundation.
Road traffic noise at this address is measured at 64 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, based on 2022 data. Rail noise is 10 dB Lden, air traffic noise is 39 dB Lden, and industrial noise is 45 dB Lden, all below their respective norms. These are area-level indications from public risk data, not measurements taken at the property itself.
Aldi, PLUS and Jan Linders are all within a couple of streets away, roughly 500 to 560 metres from the home. A Lidl is about 1.2 kilometres away. For daily groceries, you have several options within a short walk, which makes the practical side of living here straightforward.
Basisschool Mijn Spoor is about 526 metres away, and RK BS De Ganzerik is roughly 580 metres from the home. Both are primary schools within a short walk. For secondary education, the nearest option is about 2.1 kilometres away, which is a bit further but still manageable.
Bus line 40 stops at Heerlen, Bokstraat, which is right on your doorstep at about 52 metres. The same line also stops at Heerlen, Lokerstraat and Heerlen, Huyn van Rodenbroeckstraat, both around 410 to 430 metres away. The nearest train station is Heerlen Woonboulevard, about 2.1 kilometres from the home.
Residents across the municipality of Heerlen give their living environment an average score of 6.82, based on 36 reviews. One resident describes a pleasant, quiet community, while another mentions a mix of cultured and antisocial people, limited greenery and some overdue maintenance on houses. These are municipal-level impressions, not specific to this neighbourhood.
The asking price per square metre is €2,295, based on the agent's listed floor area of 457 square metres. This figure is calculated from the agent's data, not from the BAG registration. The neighbourhood average asking price per square metre is €2,271, so this home is priced above that average.

How residents experience their district
It's not the worst neighbourhood, but certainly not the best either. It's easily accessible thanks to the bus stop and there is a primary school. The area doesn't feel very safe, but things are regularly organised in the neighbourhood. It's also quite green because of the surrounding forests, including the Brunssummerheide. The housing is good, but it depends on which part of the neighbourhood you're in. It's a fairly dirty neighbourhood, not much attention is paid to hygiene. It's not very safe either, but it's not unsafe either; furthermore, it has all the facilities you need: clothing shops, supermarket, hairdresser, etc.

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.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIBad unfriendly not safe
Auto-translated to English by AIIf you like nature and peace and quiet, you're in the right place here. The neighbourhood is super clean and spacious with lots of trees and parks. You can easily walk into the countryside. Ideal for the dog or an evening stroll!
