Rolduckerveld, Kerkrade
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hertogenlaan in Kerkrade sits in a neighbourhood that feels a bit worn around the edges, but the home itself is a solid, no-nonsense place. With 90 m² of living space and an energy label C, it's a reasonable size for a couple or a small family. The asking price of €215,000 is in line with what you'd expect for an apartment in this part of Kerkrade, especially when you compare it to other apartments in Kerkrade.
Rolduckerveld is a mixed area with a high density of addresses, over 2,200 per km², so it feels quite urban. The population is diverse: lots of single-person households and a fair share of families with children. One resident describes it bluntly: "The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children." That said, the same resident also notes being "very happy that we can walk into nature like this." So it's a place with clear downsides but also some genuine positives, like easy access to green space. For a fuller picture, have a look at the Rolduckerveld neighbourhood.
Daily errands are straightforward: the Albert Heijn is practically on your doorstep, and a Jumbo is a short walk away. For families, Basisschool Sint Ursula is just 279 metres down the road, and there are several secondary schools within walking distance, including Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg and Het Martin Buber. The train station is 1.4 km away, so a ten-minute walk gets you on the rails. The municipality of Kerkrade as a whole offers a range of amenities, and you can read more about the municipality of Kerkrade to see what else is on offer.

The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children. Unemployment (not wanting to work because the ratio of participation and income is almost equal). Glad that the children receive good education at a broad school that has everything. Also very happy that we can walk into nature like this.

About Hertogenlaan 73, Kerkrade
The asking price of €215,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Kerkrade. With 90 m² of space and an energy label C, it offers decent value for the size. However, the neighbourhood has some challenges, as noted in resident reviews, so the price reflects both the home's qualities and the area's current state.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1966. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but not as high as an old G-label property. The exact bills will depend on your usage and heating system.
The Albert Heijn is just 44 metres away, so you can walk there in under a minute. There's also a Jumbo at 623 metres, about a seven-minute walk. Daily shopping is very convenient.
Basisschool Sint Ursula is 279 metres away, a three-minute walk. For secondary education, Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is at 591 metres and Het Martin Buber at 656 metres, both within a ten-minute walk. There are several other schools within a few kilometres.
The train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short bike ride. It's a reasonable distance for commuting.
Rolduckerveld is a densely populated urban area with a mix of single-person households and families. Resident reviews highlight issues like litter, noise, and antisocial behaviour, but also praise the easy access to nature. It's a neighbourhood with clear pros and cons.
The listing does not mention a garden or any private outdoor space. The apartment likely has a balcony or shared grounds, but this is not stated in the details provided.
With 90 m², it could be a two- or three-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
