Bekkerveld, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Kemmerlingstraat sits in Bekkerveld, a residential pocket of Heerlen where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace is calm. With 124 m² of living space on a 195 m² plot, it's a solid family home from 1951 that needs some modernisation, the E energy label tells you heating costs will be noticeable. The asking price of €395,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €354,400, but corner houses in Heerlen are scarce, so it reflects the type.
Bekkerveld is a settled neighbourhood with a mix of ages: about a quarter of residents are over 65, and a similar share are under 15. Most homes are owner-occupied (82%) and two-thirds are single-family houses, so the streets feel stable and lived-in. There are no resident reviews available, but the area's profile suggests a community where people know each other. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density 2286 per km²), yet green space is just a couple of streets away.
For your morning bread, PLUS is on your doorstep. A secondary school, De Nieuwe Thermen, is just around the corner, and Basisschool Sint Tarcisius is a five-minute walk away. The GP is also within a couple of streets, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk, so commuting is straightforward.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Leenen Vastgoed.

About Kemmerlingstraat 1, Heerlen
The asking price is €395,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €354,400 and the median of €375,000. However, corner houses are a specific type, and the average price per m² in Bekkerveld is €2,721, so for 124 m² that would come to about €337,000. The premium reflects the corner position and the fact that only five homes are currently for sale in the neighbourhood.
The home has energy label E. That means it's not very efficient, you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with label A or B. In Bekkerveld, 40% of homes have label C and another 40% have label D or lower, so this is in line with the older housing stock in the area.
Bekkerveld has a good mix of ages: about 14% of residents are children under 15, and 14% are aged 45 to 65. There are 225 households with children, and the average household size is 2.1. Schools are close by, Basisschool Sint Tarcisius is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools like De Nieuwe Thermen are just around the corner.
PLUS supermarket is on your doorstep at 111 metres. Other supermarkets within walking distance include Jan Linders (880 metres) and another PLUS (1 km). A GP is just around the corner (300 metres), and a restaurant is also close by (400 metres). The train station is 1.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
The house was built in 1951, so it's over 70 years old. With an E energy label, it likely has original single glazing and poor insulation. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, so you should expect to update the heating system, windows, and possibly the roof.
The plot is 195 m², which is a decent size for a corner house. However, the listing does not explicitly state whether there is a garden.
