Schandelen, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Schandelerstraat in Heerlen is a real character property, built in 1900 and offering a generous 320 m² of living space on a 440 m² plot. The energy label G means you can expect high heating costs. With a price of €599,000, it sits well above the neighbourhood average, partly because it's 150% larger than the typical home in Schandelen. For context, that's 129% above the average asking price in the area, so it's on the high side compared to other detached houses in Heerlen.

I notice that in our area there is quite often nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths. I hear from the older residents in the neighbourhood that they don't like to go out alone because they don't feel very safe. I don't experience this myself, but I grew up in Heerlen and I can definitely stand my ground. Overall, it's reasonably quiet in the neighbourhood. Apart from a few incidents. I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc. I must admit, though, that when it's dark I also prefer not to walk alone. The hygiene in the neighbourhood could, in my opinion, be much better. The bins are often overflowing and smell very bad, and as a result you see rats and such more often. And as for greenery, I find it quite disappointing here. Many trees have been removed, etc. There used to be much more green and nature.

About Schandelerstraat 49, Heerlen
The asking price is €599,000, which is 129% above the average asking price in Schandelen (€261,346). However, this home is also much larger than average: 320 m² versus 128 m². The price per square metre works out at about €1,872, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,331 per m². So while the total price is high, you get significantly more space for your money.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs. The home was built in 1900 and likely has poor insulation and old systems. In Schandelen, 58.3% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth budgeting for higher energy expenses.
