Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Mariabad sits in the heart of Heerlen, where the streets are lively and the city centre is just a short walk away. At 59 m², it's a compact home with an energy label B, so heating costs should be manageable. The asking price of €152,500 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €254,054, making it a keen entry point into the market compared to other apartments in Heerlen.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense, urban area with a high address density of nearly 3,000 per km². Most homes are apartments, and the population is diverse: many single-person households, a significant share of residents aged 65 and over, and relatively few families with children. One resident describes it as a safe neighbourhood if you know your way around, but notes that crime and poverty are visible. They appreciate the modernisation efforts but feel the area still has a rough edge. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood gets a 7 out of 10. For more context, see the municipality of Heerlen.
For your morning bread, Jan Linders is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several schools within walking distance: the VWO of Bernardinuscollege is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool Sint Tarcisius is a ten-minute walk. The train station is also a ten-minute walk, so commuting is straightforward. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner for a quick bite.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ovida makelaars and Boek & Offermans Makelaars Heerlen.

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.

About Mariabad 66, Heerlen
The asking price of €152,500 is 40% below the average asking price in Heerlen-Centrum (€254,054) and also below the median (€249,500). However, the apartment is smaller than average (59 m² vs 95 m²). Given the lower price per m² (€2,586 vs the neighbourhood average of €2,968), it appears keenly priced for its size and energy label B.
