Bleijerheide, Kerkrade
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Nieuwstraat in Kerkrade is a real character property, built in 1906 and offering a generous 454 m² of living space. With a price of €650,000, it sits well above the neighbourhood average, partly because of its size and type. For context, the average detached houses in Kerkrade tend to be smaller and less expensive, so this home stands out.
Bleijerheide is a neighbourhood with contrasting experiences. One resident describes it as a "beautiful neighbourhood close to Germany with all the advantages" and a "nice, very quiet neighbourhood with nice houses." Another, however, notes that "within 8 years the neighbourhood has deteriorated," mentioning drug activity and litter. A third simply says it's "fine" but adds that "rubbish bags are just dumped everywhere." Based on three reviews, it's a place with both loyal fans and critics. The neighbourhood Bleijerheide has a mix of housing, with 56% single-family homes and a relatively high proportion of older properties.
For your daily shopping, you have a PLUS and an Aldi just around the corner, and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool de Schatkist and Basisschool Bleijerheide. The municipality Kerkrade also offers secondary education within a ten-minute walk, and a train station is a ten-minute walk away.

Nice, very quiet neighbourhood with nice houses
Auto-translated to English by AIRight from the start, men were busy using drugs. The municipality of Kerkrade did little with the police, and it hasn't helped at all; drug dealers are still active. Luckily, we are now in a safe place where you can go for a walk without worry. The municipality of Kerkrade is driving families away from Kerkrade and prefers Ukrainian people over their own Dutch people. It would be good if Russia dropped a bomb on the town hall of Kerkrade; then maybe something good would come back in its place.

About Nieuwstraat 93, Kerkrade
The asking price of €650,000 is 116% above the neighbourhood average of €301,495. However, this home is much larger than typical properties in Bleijerheide: 454 m² versus an average of 215 m². Detached homes are also rare in the area. So while the price is high, it reflects the exceptional size and type of the property.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, though older homes like this (built in 1906) may still have some draughts. In the neighbourhood, 21.1% of homes have label C, while 42.1% have a lower label.
The plot is 670 m², which is generous for a detached home in this area. The listing does not specify a garden or terrace, but with a plot this size, there is certainly outdoor space.
Reviews are mixed. One resident says it's "very quiet" and safe, while another mentions drug activity and litter. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 209, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit the area yourself to get a feel for it.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool de Schatkist (348 m) and Basisschool Bleijerheide (528 m). For secondary education, Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is about 1.3 km away. So families with children have options close by.
This is a detached house (vrijstaande woning) built in 1906. That makes it over a century old, which often means character features like high ceilings and original details, but also potential maintenance needs. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done.
