Frequently asked questions
About Ir. Lelystraat 138, Heerlen
Is €275,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €275,000 is in line with the neighbourhood market. The average price per m² in Welten-Dorp is €2,303, and this apartment works out at about €2,957 per m², which is higher than average. However, the median price in the area is €232,000, so this home is above that. Given its size and energy label D, the price seems reasonable for what's on offer.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for an apartment of this age. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels (33% label A and 67% label C), so this one is less efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home, but no specific amounts are given in the listing.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 2.5 km from the apartment. That's about a ten-minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
What schools are nearby?
Basisschool Martinus is 536 m away, just a couple of streets from the apartment. The Sintermeertencollege secondary school is 577 m away, also within walking distance. There are several other schools within a few kilometres, including special education options.
What supermarkets are close by?
The nearest supermarket is a PLUS at 450 m, just around the corner. Other options include Albert Heijn and Aldi, both about 1.4 km away, and another PLUS at 1.5 km. For daily groceries, the nearby PLUS is very convenient.
Is the neighbourhood safe?
Residents describe Welten-Dorp as safe and quiet. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 128, which is moderate. The area has a calm, residential feel with a mix of ages, though the proportion of 65+ residents is higher than average.
How does the size compare to other homes in the area?
The floor area of 93 m² is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 125 m². So this apartment is more compact than typical homes in Welten-Dorp, which are often larger single-family houses. That makes it a more affordable entry point into the area.
