Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Geleenstraat sits in the heart of Heerlen, a neighbourhood that's as lively as it is layered. At 61 m², it's a compact home, 27% smaller than the average in the area, and with an energy label E, you can expect higher heating costs. The asking price of €209,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €234,750, but it's still below the average for apartments in Heerlen.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense urban neighbourhood with a mix of old and new. The one resident review sums it up: "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." They note that "there is a lot of crime" and "a lot of poverty," but also that "they are trying their best to modernise the city." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (1,570 out of 2,835 residents) and a young population. Based on one review, it's a place where you need to know your way around. For more context, see Heerlen-Centrum.
For your daily bread, Jan Linders is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Schools are within walking distance: Basisschool Eikenderveld is a five-minute walk, and the VWO of Bernardinuscollege is about ten minutes away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and library is on your doorstep. The municipality of the municipality of Heerlen is working on modernising the area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Parkstad Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

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.
