Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis 94 m² apartment on Stationstraat sits right in the centre of Heerlen, with the train station just a ten-minute walk away. Built in 1998 and with energy label B, it's a modern and efficient home. At €240,000, the asking price is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €254,000, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Heerlen.
Heerlen-Centrum is a densely populated area with a very high address density. It's a place of contrasts: one resident describes it as "safe" but notes that "there is a lot of crime" and "a lot of poverty." They add that the city is modernising, but "it remains my crack neighbourhood." Based on this single review, the neighbourhood feels urban and lively, but not without its challenges. Many residents live alone, and the area has a high proportion of older people. The municipality Heerlen is working on improvements, but the resident feels that some issues persist.
For your daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Aldi are a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: Basisschool Eikenderveld is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools are also close by. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a park is just around the corner for a quick break.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Leenen Vastgoed, 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.
