Very good · 3 residents
I sometimes find it unsafe in the evening, there are many young people hanging around in the neighbourhood who deal drugs. The school attracts many young people with bad intentions to the area. Although everyone knows each other and they have mutual respect. Community education could improve if more pedagogical staff become active in the area.

About Burgemeester Hoebersstraat 4, Haelen
The asking price of €299,000 is 32% below the average asking price in Kern Haelen (€438,008) and also below the minimum asking price of €310,000 in the neighbourhood. Given the age and energy label G, the price reflects the home's character and potential rather than modern standards. It is on the low side compared to other homes currently for sale.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property. You should budget for significant energy bills.
Reviews are mixed. One resident mentions feeling unsafe in the evening due to young people hanging around and drug dealing, while another finds it quiet and safe. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 86, but without context it is hard to compare. It is a village where most people know each other.
The nearest primary school, Kindcentrum De Glundering, is about 500 metres away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the closest school is Sint Ursula Horn at 3.5 km, which is a bit further. There is also a special education school, Heikei, at 1.1 km.
The nearest train station is 9.1 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The area is more suited to those who rely on driving.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 475 m², which is generous. Whether it is laid out as a garden or has other uses is not stated. You would need to view the property to see the outdoor space.
