Heerlerheide-Kom
Heerlerheide-Kom is a neighbourhood with a mix of ages, where a third of residents are 65 or older and just over half of households are single-person. The one review available gives the area a 6.5 out of 10, with a resident noting: "People are very self-centred! Elderly people are often pushed aside. Safety is there, but during holiday time the square and park are dirty." The same resident mentions the Corneliuspark and the area near the church, saying bins are full halfway through the week and that the dog exercise area is damaged. It is a mixed picture, with safety acknowledged but cleanliness and considerate behaviour flagged as issues.

Frequently asked questions
About Willem Barentszweg 92, Heerlen
Is €766 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €766 is well below the average of €2,560 for rentals in Heerlerheide-Kom, though that average is based on a single listing of 109 m². This apartment is 71 m², so the price per square metre works out lower than the neighbourhood average of €23.49 per m². Given the size and the social housing status, the rent appears in line with what you would expect for this type of home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A C label is mid-range, meaning energy costs are likely to be moderate, but the label itself does not tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system. It is simply a standardised measure of how energy-efficient the home is.
How big is this apartment?
The apartment has a floor area of 71 m². This is 35% smaller than the average of 109 m² for rentals in the neighbourhood. The listing does not state the number of rooms, so the layout is not specified. The size is typical for a two-bedroom apartment, but without room details, you would need to see the floor plan to know how the space is arranged.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
Heerlerheide-Kom has a large share of older residents, with a third aged 65 or over, and many single-person households. The one resident review gives a score of 6.5, mentioning safety is present but cleanliness in the park and square is an issue, especially during holidays. For daily errands, the PLUS supermarket is 395 metres away, and there are several schools within walking distance.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 3 km from the apartment. That is a distance you would likely cover by bike or bus rather than on foot, though the listing does not specify public transport connections. The neighbourhood has a GP practice and a large supermarket within 300 metres, so everyday needs are close by.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this is a social housing rental, as indicated in the listing. The rent of €766 per month is below the Dutch social housing threshold, which makes it an affordable option. Social housing typically comes with certain eligibility criteria, but those are not detailed in this listing.
