The asking price of €220,000 is below the average sale price of €291,625 for homes sold recently in Heechterp. However, the home is smaller than the average sold property, so the price per square metre should be compared. Given the energy label C and the need for potential updates, the price appears keen relative to the local market.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions that safety is "very fluctuating here, with the occasional stabbing/shooting." Another review does not mention safety directly but describes noise issues. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 198, which is relatively high for an area of 1,750 residents. It's worth considering this when evaluating the location.
The nearest supermarket is Poiesz, just 163 metres away on foot. Aldi, Jumbo, and Lidl are also within a short walk, between 663 and 812 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
Several secondary schools are within walking distance: CSG Comenius @Forum (246 m), De Brêge (265 m), and De Dyk (265 m). The nearest primary school is IKC Franciscus (471 m). All are within a five to ten-minute walk.
The train station is 3 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. Heating costs will be moderate, but improvements like better insulation could lower them further.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 400 metres away, so green space is on your doorstep. This is a plus for relaxation or outdoor activities.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Many developments in the neighbourhood with new construction and renovations. As for safety, it's very fluctuating here, with the occasional stabbing/shooting. Very often rubbish is just thrown next to the container since you now pay per lid operation, but before that it was just as bad.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn a quiet neighbourhood where everyone knew each other, a family had just moved in. They had high expectations of their new area, but soon began to experience problems. The first night they were kept awake by noisy neighbours who partied until late at night. They thought it was a one-off incident, but it happened time and again. When they politely asked the neighbours to be a bit quieter, they were ignored.

How residents experience their municipality
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAtmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone keeps to themselves but it's a calm and peaceful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood.
