Heilust is a residential area with mostly single-family homes and a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties. The neighbourhood has around 2,560 residents, many of whom are over 45. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: "Never any trouble and always quiet on the street." Another describes it as "beautiful" and quiet. But a third review paints a different picture, mentioning antisocial behaviour and a lack of understanding from neighbours. The neighbourhood Heilust clearly has two sides.

Basisschool De Schakel is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool de Spoorzoeker is also within easy reach. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a GP is just around the corner. The municipality Kerkrade offers further amenities within a short drive.

Never any trouble and always quiet on the street
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is quiet and not too many problems
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople with a low level of education who are on welfare and may or may not earn extra cash under the table. They have no understanding for people with a disability. People who swear at you and have a big mouth, and rubbish is dumped, making the street dirty. Not a neighbourhood for people with autism, Down syndrome, etc., because if you have that, you're made out to be crazy while they don't even really get to know you. And a lot of antisocial behaviour here, which creates an unsafe living environment. The housing association should be honest about the fact that Heilust is known as a deprived area. I was told this by mental health services when I already lived there. I would have liked to know about the situation before I moved in, because now, as a woman with autism, I'm stuck in a hopeless situation that I can no longer cope with. Heemwonen is very unfriendly to customers. That should be much better.

About Schifferheidestraat 25, Kerkrade
At 250 m² and with a 384 m² plot, the price of €615,000 is in line with what other detached homes in Kerkrade go for. The home has energy label D, which means heating costs will be higher than with a more efficient label, but the spaciousness and quiet location are strong points.
Heilust is a mixed neighbourhood. Some residents describe it as quiet and beautiful, with no trouble. Others mention antisocial behaviour and a lack of understanding from neighbours. The area has many single-family homes and a relatively older population. It is best to visit the street yourself to get a feel for it.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it.
Basisschool De Schakel is about 800 m away, and Basisschool de Spoorzoeker is roughly 900 m from the home. Both are primary schools. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.9 km away.
Aldi and Jumbo are both within a five-minute walk, around 700-750 m from the house. Lidl is about 1.7 km away, a ten-minute walk or short drive. For a wider selection, PLUS is about 2 km away.
The home has energy label D, which is average for a house built in 1943. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring the label up and reduce bills.
