Schandelen, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Gringelstraat 19A in Heerlen is a practical home in a lively urban setting. At 80 m², it's smaller than the neighbourhood average, and the price of €199,000 is 24% below the average asking price in the area, a keen entry point into the market.

Schandelen is a dense, very strongly urban area (over 2,900 addresses per km²) with a mix of ages and household types. One resident describes it as "a neighbourhood with many different types of people", noting that while it's reasonably quiet overall, there are occasional issues with nuisance and hygiene. The same resident says: "I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc." Based on this single review, the area offers convenience but also some challenges. The neighbourhood Schandelen has a high proportion of single-person households and a significant share of older residents.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: a secondary special school (SO De Pyler) is a five-minute walk, and the Emmacollege for havo/mavo/vbo is also nearby. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes straightforward. The municipality Heerlen provides these amenities within easy reach.

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 19A, Heerlen
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. Given that the apartment is 80 m², smaller than the neighbourhood average of 128 m², the price per m² works out to about €2,488, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,331 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to factor into your budget.
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. However, the same resident says they don't experience this personally and find the neighbourhood reasonably quiet. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 86, but without a per-capita figure, it's hard to compare. Overall, it's a mixed picture.
The train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The station provides connections to Heerlen and beyond.
A park or public garden is just 0.2 km away, on your doorstep. However, one resident notes that greenery in the neighbourhood has declined, with many trees removed. So while there is a park nearby, the overall greenness of the area may be less than in the past.
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 97 days to sell, which is about three months. This suggests a relatively balanced market, not too fast, not too slow. The current listing has 13 homes for sale, so there is some choice.
