Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Honigmannstraat sits in the heart of Heerlen, a city that's modernising but still has a raw edge. At 232 m², it's a generous home with an A energy label, so heating costs should be manageable. The rent of €2,650 is 92% above the neighbourhood average of €1,383, which is on the high side, but you're paying for size and efficiency. For context, apartments in Heerlen vary widely in price.
Heerlen-Centrum is a densely populated area with a very high urbanity score. One resident describes it as safe if you know your way, but notes crime and poverty are visible. They say: "I think it's a safe neighbourhood, but that's because I know where I can go and what I'm allowed to do. If I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe." The area has many single-person households and a large share of residents over 65. The municipality Heerlen is working on modernisation, but the resident feels it remains a "crack neighbourhood".
For groceries, you have Jumbo just around the corner and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also an Aldi nearby. Schools are within walking distance: Basisschool Eikenderveld is a five-minute walk, and several secondary schools are a ten-minute walk away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park is just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Phidec Vastgoed Beheer B.V. and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

Personally, I think it's a safe neighbourhood, but that's because I know where I can go and what I'm allowed to do. If I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe. You can encounter strange people here and experience situations that don't happen just like that outside this area. There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it. On top of that, there is simply a lot of poverty here. I see more people on benefits than working, and with each year, more and more homeless people. I see that they are trying their best to modernise the city. They are doing quite well at that, but... take the Aurora flats, for example. They've painted them all nice colours now, but that doesn't mean you've removed the ghetto. The same junkies and dealers still live in the flats as before. And I still wouldn't recommend walking alone in the dark. I think Heerlen is becoming more modern every year, but it remains my crack neighbourhood. Accessibility is fine, but we still don't have things like e-scooters or e-steps. Tram or metro. I can understand the tram and metro, but we are really lagging behind when it comes to e-scooters, etc. A few years ago, we only got those bikes you can rent... and then they basically showed that we can't handle that responsibility at all here. We destroy everything here that has any money in it or doesn't belong to us.
