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 Franciscanerstraat 1C, Kerkrade
The asking price is 19% below the average asking price in Bleijerheide (€301,495), which makes it look keen. But the apartment is also 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 215 m². So you're paying less for a smaller home. Compared to other apartments in Kerkrade, the price per m² (€2,379) is above the neighbourhood average of €1,618 per m², so it's not a bargain on a per-square-metre basis.
The apartment has energy label B, which is efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In Bleijerheide, only about 26% of homes have label A or better, so this one is above average for the neighbourhood.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions drug activity and litter, while another says it's quiet and nice. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 209, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare.
Basisschool Bleijerheide is just 100 metres away, so primary school is on your doorstep. Openbare Basisschool de Schatkist is about 600 metres away, and Basisschool De Diabolo is roughly a kilometre. For secondary education, Het Martin Buber is 1.4 km away and Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is 1.6 km.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. It's not on your doorstep, but it's reachable without a car.
PLUS and Aldi are both about 650 metres away, so you can walk there in about 8 minutes. Jumbo is 1.2 km away, a 15-minute walk. Albert Heijn is a bit further at 1.8 km.
With 103 m² and two or three bedrooms (the layout isn't specified), it could work for a small family. The neighbourhood has a mix of households, including families with children. However, the apartment is in a flat, so no private garden, but there's a park just 300 metres away.
