Living in Sterrenberg, Roermond
Sterrenberg is a post-war expansion neighbourhood on the west side of Roermond, part of the wider Donderberg district. The neighbourhood largely consists of terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some single-family homes. It is a compact, functional residential neighbourhood without big-city allure, but also without the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The streets are quiet, the buildings are orderly, and greenery is present without it being a park-like neighbourhood.
The residents are diverse in age, with a slight overrepresentation of the 45 to 65 age group. Single-person households form the largest category, which fits the supply of relatively small and affordable rental homes. The labour participation rate is 49%, which is below the Roermond average, and the education level is also lower than the municipal average.

Sports facilities are available through the sports clubs active in and around Donderberg, and the Roermond swimming pool can be reached by bike.
