Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis 86 m² apartment on Mariabad sits in the heart of Heerlen, a neighbourhood that feels urban and lively. With an energy label E, heating costs are something to keep an eye on, especially since most other homes for sale in the area have a better label. At €265,000, the price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €254,000, so it's on the high side compared to other apartments in Heerlen.
Heerlen-Centrum is densely built-up, with a very high address density of 2,957 per km². The population is diverse: many single-person households (1,570 out of 2,125), and a large share of residents aged 65 or over (875). One resident describes it as a safe neighbourhood if you know your way around, but notes that crime and poverty are visible. They say: "There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it." At the same time, they appreciate efforts to modernise the city. The municipality Heerlen is working on renewal, but the resident adds: "It remains my crack neighbourhood." This is based on one review.
For groceries, Jan Linders is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Two other supermarkets, Aldi and Jumbo, are within a ten-minute walk. Primary school Basisschool Sint Tarcisius is a couple of streets away, and secondary schools like Bernardinuscollege are within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via several channels, including Consten Vastgoed B.V.

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.
