Heerlerheide Kom, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Gravenstraat sits in a quiet part of Heerlerheide Kom. At 75 m² it is noticeably more compact than the neighbourhood average, which makes the rent of €879 particularly keen compared with other rentals in the area. Social housing apartments like this one are scarce here, only one is currently available, and it is listed by a housing corporation. For context, apartments in Heerlen typically command higher rents per square metre.
Heerlerheide Kom is a mixed residential area with a high proportion of single-person households (985) and a large elderly population (1,125 residents aged 65+). The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel, with an address density of 1,906 per km². One resident describes it as having "rather unfriendly clamping behaviour" and notes that the Corneluspark and the area near the church can be dirty during holidays, with full bins and litter. Safety is present, but the resident mentions that the dog exercise area in Corneliuspark is damaged. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 6.5 out of 10. For more details, see the Heerlerheide Kom neighbourhood.
Your daily shopping is sorted within a few minutes' walk: Aldi is just around the corner, Jan Linders, and PLUS. For primary schools, RK BS De Ganzerik and basisschool Mijn Spoor are both a short stroll away. The nearest secondary school is 1.5 km off, so older children will need a bike or bus. A GP practice and a restaurant are both on your doorstep, and the train station is 3.1 km away. For broader context, the municipality of Heerlen offers a range of amenities within easy reach.

People are very self-centred! Elderly people are often pushed aside. Safety is there, but during holiday time the square and park are dirty, Corneluspark and near the church. Bins are full halfway through the week. Food scraps near the benches, cigarette butts everywhere. My dog was very ill from something like weed. Chicken bones are often thrown in the park. Even in the dog exercise area in Corneliuspark. The exercise area is damaged, holes everywhere, while on the Rennemig there is a nice exercise area with high fences. This is what I experience. Kind regards
