Yet the picture is not entirely rosy. Paul gives the neighbourhood a 6.0 and writes about overdue maintenance on his apartment: draughts, damp, and weeds growing right up to the balcony.

It is something to watch out for if you are considering renting an apartment in Kerkrade-Noord, especially in older blocks. Always ask about the energy label and the state of maintenance.
