Frequently asked questions
About Gringelstraat 19A, Heerlen
Is €199,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €199,000 is 24% below the average asking price in Schandelen (€261,346) and also below the median of €259,000. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (80 m² vs 128 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with the market for a property of this size and efficiency.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your budget.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
One resident mentions that there is occasional nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths, and some older residents don't feel safe going out alone. The same resident, however, feels safe because they grew up in Heerlen. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 86, but without a per-capita figure, it's hard to compare. Overall, it's described as reasonably quiet apart from a few incidents.

Experiences from Schandelen
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

Experiences from Heerlen
How residents experience their municipality
In the neighbourhood there are many cultured people, very cosy! The only downside is that there are also antisocial people living here.. and they don't give a damn about anything or anyone.. there is little parking space right in front of my door, which is really not pleasant, the neighbourhood itself is quite close-knit and everyone enjoys chatting with each other during New Year's or a summer day. There is hardly any greenery here and there, some bushes here and there but that's about it.. luckily they are busy renovating and greening the part where we live, so that's something I consider a plus point for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, it's often the case that houses have overdue maintenance due to landlords or people who simply don't care about what their house looks like.
