Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oranje Nassaustraat sits in the heart of Heerlen, a neighbourhood with a lively, urban feel. At 150 m², it's a generous size for a flat, and the 1910 building gives it character. The asking price of €349,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Heerlen, but the extra space explains much of that.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense, urban area with a mix of old and new. One resident describes it as safe if you know your way, but notes that "there is a lot of crime, from young to old" and "a lot of poverty." They also mention that the city is modernising, but that "it remains my crack neighbourhood." Based on this single review, the neighbourhood clearly has its challenges alongside its central location. Most homes are flats, and the area is very densely populated, with many single-person households.
For daily shopping, you have a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner, and a Jan Linders a couple of streets away. Schools are also close: a secondary special school is a five-minute walk, and a primary school is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Heerlen is working on revitalising the city centre, and you'll find restaurants and a library within a few minutes' walk.
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 Oranje Nassaustraat 20, Heerlen
The asking price is 37% above the average asking price in Heerlen-Centrum (€254,054). However, this apartment is also 58% larger than the neighbourhood average of 95 m². So while the price is high, you are getting significantly more space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the central location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label A, 24% label B, and 15% label C, so this home sits around the middle of the pack.
One resident says they personally feel safe because they know the area, but they add that "if I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe." They mention crime and poverty as issues, and advise against walking alone in the dark. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 773, which is high, but the resident also notes that the city is trying to modernise.
