Heerlerheide Kom is a mixed area with a strong presence of older residents, as a third of the population is 65 or over. Many households are single-person, and the streets have a calm, residential feel. One resident shares a rather critical view: "People are very self-centred! Elderly people are often pushed aside. Safety is there, but during holiday time the square and park are dirty." This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's experience. For more context, [the Heerlerheide Kom neighbourhood]( /buurt/heerlerheide-kom-heerlen/) has its own character within Heerlen.
For daily errands, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, with Aldi and Jan Linders a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, RK BS De Ganzerik, is also just around the corner, and Emmacollege for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. A GP practice and a large supermarket are both within a five-minute walk, making it easy to handle everyday needs. [The municipality of Heerlen]( /gemeente/heerlen/) provides the wider setting for this practical location.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
People are very self-centred! Elderly people are often pushed aside. Safety is there, but during holiday time the square and park are dirty, Corneluspark and near the church. Bins are full halfway through the week. Food scraps near the benches, cigarette butts everywhere. My dog was very ill from something like weed. Chicken bones are often thrown in the park. Even in the dog exercise area in Corneliuspark. The exercise area is damaged, holes everywhere, while on the Rennemig there is a nice exercise area with high fences. This is what I experience. Kind regards

Auto-translated to English by AIYes, here you have all neighbourhoods with poverty scroungers and benefit claimants. Those people cannot appreciate the 'normal' houses and their residents. The youth is extremely antisocial, the streets always smell of cannabis plantations, and it's filthy.

How residents experience their municipality
In the neighbourhood there are many cultured people, very cosy! The only downside is that there are also antisocial people living here.. and they don't give a damn about anything or anyone.. there is little parking space right in front of my door, which is really not pleasant, the neighbourhood itself is quite close-knit and everyone enjoys chatting with each other during New Year's or a summer day. There is hardly any greenery here and there, some bushes here and there but that's about it.. luckily they are busy renovating and greening the part where we live, so that's something I consider a plus point for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, it's often the case that houses have overdue maintenance due to landlords or people who simply don't care about what their house looks like.
