Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Dautzenbergstraat sits in the heart of Heerlen, a neighbourhood with a lively, urban feel. The home is large at 137 m², with an F energy label, so heating costs will be something to budget for. The asking rent of €1,200 is 13% below the neighbourhood average of €1,383, making it a keen price for the size. For context, apartments in Heerlen typically command a higher price per square metre.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense, very strongly urban area with nearly 2,900 residents per km². It's a place of contrasts: one resident describes it as "safe" but notes that "if I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe" due to crime and poverty. The same resident acknowledges efforts to modernise the city, yet feels the underlying issues remain. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households and a relatively old population, with many aged 65+. For more on the area, see municipality Heerlen.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool Eikenderveld (a five-minute walk) and the VWO of Bernardinuscollege (a ten-minute walk). The train station is also a ten-minute walk, and restaurants are on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via De Jonge Makelaardij & Taxatie.

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 28B, Heerlen
Yes, it's a keen price. The rent is 13% below the neighbourhood average of €1,383, and for 137 m² that works out at about €8.76 per m², well under the local average of €12.74 per m². However, the F energy label means higher utility costs, so factor that in.
Heerlen-Centrum is a very densely populated urban area. One resident describes it as safe for those who know it, but notes crime and poverty are visible. The area is undergoing modernisation, but some issues persist. It's a mixed neighbourhood with many single-person households and an older population.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Jumbo at 462 m, Jan Linders at 483 m, Albert Heijn at 554 m, and Aldi at 554 m. So daily shopping is easy.
The energy label is F, which is inefficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more efficient home. It's worth budgeting for these expenses.
The listing does not state whether the apartment is furnished or unfurnished.
