De Dem en omgeving, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Demstraat 78B feels like a breath of fresh air. Built in 2022, it's a recent addition to a neighbourhood where most homes date from before 1945. With 150 m² of living space and a 353 m² plot, you get room to spread out, both inside and out. The energy label A means low heating costs and a comfortable home. At €569,000, it's the most expensive of the 13 homes currently for sale in the area, and the price sits 78% above the neighbourhood average of €318,846. That's a premium for a new-build detached house in a market where the average sold price is €275,114. For context, detached houses in Heerlen typically command higher prices, but this one is at the top end.
The neighbourhood De Dem en omgeving is home to about 3,460 people, with a mix of ages and household types. It's a reasonably quiet area, as residents confirm. One resident says: "I am satisfied. It is quiet and there are all ages." Another notes: "Public transport is a bit further to walk, as are the shops. Otherwise, it's a quiet neighbourhood."

Overall, the neighbourhood scores 6.22 out of 10 based on three reviews. The area is fairly urban (address density 2,131 per km²), with mostly families and singles living in owner-occupied homes (44%).

Well, the paving stones could be laid properly and the gardens maintained, and those pesky oak trees could be removed and replaced with nice shrubs.
