Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis 1900 apartment on Oranje Nassaustraat sits right in the thick of things. At 86 m² it's a decent size, and with an energy label D you'll want to budget for heating. The asking price of €299,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €254,054, so it's on the high side, but you're paying for a spot in the middle of town. For context, apartments in Heerlen vary widely in price and condition.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense urban neighbourhood with over 2,800 residents, mostly single-person households. One resident describes it as safe if you know your way, but notes crime and poverty are visible. They say: "I think Heerlen is becoming more modern every year, but it remains my crack neighbourhood." The same reviewer points out that while the city tries to modernise, the underlying issues remain. Accessibility is good, but e-scooters and the like are absent. This is a neighbourhood with character, not for everyone, but honest about what it is. Read more about municipality Heerlen.
For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Jan Linders is also within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Basisschool Eikenderveld is a five-minute walk, and several secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes to Maastricht or Sittard straightforward. A park is just around the corner for a breather.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Consten Vastgoed B.V., Funda and Pararius.

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.
