NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van der Maesenstraat sits right in the thick of things in Heerlen-Centrum. Built in 1998, it has an A energy label, so it's efficient and well-insulated. At €259,500, the price is in line with the market, the average in the neighbourhood is around €254,000. For context, apartments in Heerlen tend to vary quite a bit.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense, urban 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 also mention that the city is modernising, but that some issues remain. Based on one review, it's a neighbourhood where you'll want to be streetwise. The population is diverse, with many single-person households and a significant share of residents over 65. For more on the area, see municipality Heerlen.
For your morning bread, 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 like Katholieke School voor Pro are also close by. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and shops is practically on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Damen Makelaardij and also appears on Funda.

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.
