Schandelen is a mixed neighbourhood with a single resident review to go on. One resident says: "I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc." They also note that hygiene could be better: "The bins are often overflowing and smell very bad, and as a result you see rats and such more often." The resident mentions occasional nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths, and that older residents don't always feel safe going out alone. Greenery is described as disappointing: "Many trees have been removed." Based on this one review, the neighbourhood has its upsides in convenience but also some downsides in upkeep and perceived safety.

I notice that in our area there is quite often nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths. I hear from the older residents in the neighbourhood that they don't like to go out alone because they don't feel very safe. I don't experience this myself, but I grew up in Heerlen and I can definitely stand my ground. Overall, it's reasonably quiet in the neighbourhood. Apart from a few incidents. I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc. I must admit, though, that when it's dark I also prefer not to walk alone. The hygiene in the neighbourhood could, in my opinion, be much better. The bins are often overflowing and smell very bad, and as a result you see rats and such more often. And as for greenery, I find it quite disappointing here. Many trees have been removed, etc. There used to be much more green and nature.

About Prinses Beatrixstraat 16, Heerlen
The asking price of €179,000 is 32% below the average asking price in Schandelen (€261,346) and also below the median of €259,000. The apartment is smaller than average (76 m² vs 128 m²), which partly explains the lower price. Compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood, which averaged €292,458, this listing is on the low side. It appears keenly priced for its size and location.
The energy label is G, the least efficient label. This means you can expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not necessarily indicate the condition of the insulation or installations, it could be due to the heating system. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so a G label is not uncommon here.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This gives you access to regional rail connections. The neighbourhood has a high address density (2,999 per km²), so public transport is generally well integrated.
Based on one resident review, safety is a mixed picture. The resident says they feel safe because they grew up in Heerlen, but notes that older residents don't like to go out alone and that there is occasional nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 86, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge. The resident also mentions that hygiene could be better, with overflowing bins and rats.
