I notice that in our area there is quite often nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths. I hear from the older residents in the neighbourhood that they don't like to go out alone because they don't feel very safe. I don't experience this myself, but I grew up in Heerlen and I can definitely stand my ground. Overall, it's reasonably quiet in the neighbourhood. Apart from a few incidents. I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc. I must admit, though, that when it's dark I also prefer not to walk alone. The hygiene in the neighbourhood could, in my opinion, be much better. The bins are often overflowing and smell very bad, and as a result you see rats and such more often. And as for greenery, I find it quite disappointing here. Many trees have been removed, etc. There used to be much more green and nature.

About Gringelstraat 19, Heerlen
The asking price is 24% below the average asking price in Schandelen (€261,346), and also below the median of €259,000. Given the 111 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €1,793, which is well under the neighbourhood average of €2,331 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the G energy label means higher running costs.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In Schandelen, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so a G label is at the bottom end. You may want to budget for energy improvements.
One resident says they don't feel very safe walking alone in the dark, though they personally don't experience issues. The neighbourhood has 86 total offences recorded, which is relatively high. However, the same resident notes it's "reasonably quiet" overall and appreciates the accessibility.
