Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dautzenbergstraat sits right in the heart of Heerlen, where the streets are lively and everything is close by. With 83 m² of living space and energy label C, it's a solid home from 1990. The asking price of €299,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €254,054, so it's on the high side compared to other apartments in Heerlen.
Heerlen-Centrum is a very densely populated area with a mix of residents. One resident describes it as safe if you know your way around, but notes that crime and poverty are visible. They say: "There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it." The neighbourhood is home to many single-person households and a large share of older residents. The municipality Heerlen is working on modernising the city, but the resident feels that some issues remain.
For your daily shopping, you have a Jumbo just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Jan Linders are also within a couple of streets away. There are several schools nearby: a primary school is a ten-minute walk, and secondary schools are a five-minute walk. The train station is also a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Damen Makelaardij.

Personally, 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.

About Dautzenbergstraat 20E, Heerlen
The asking price is €299,000, which is 18% above the average asking price in Heerlen-Centrum (€254,054). However, the average floor area in the neighbourhood is 95 m², so this 83 m² apartment is slightly smaller. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the central location and the fact that it's a well-maintained 1990s apartment with energy label C.
Heerlen-Centrum is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. One resident describes it as safe if you know where to go, but notes that crime and poverty are visible. The neighbourhood has many single-person households and a large older population. The city is being modernised, but some issues remain.
The train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting or travelling to other cities.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Jumbo at 471 m, Albert Heijn at 524 m, and Jan Linders at 534 m. So you have plenty of options for your daily groceries.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 15% of homes have label C, while 27% have label A.
With 83 m² and likely two bedrooms, it could work for a small family, but the neighbourhood has few families with children (only 120 households with kids). The area is more popular with singles and older residents.
