Living in Eygelshoven-Kom, Kerkrade
Eygelshoven-Kom is the compact core of the former independent municipality of Eygelshoven, which merged into Kerkrade in 1982. That village character is still palpable. The neighbourhood has a quiet, somewhat subdued atmosphere that clearly differs from the more urban parts of Kerkrade. The buildings largely consist of multi-family homes and apartments from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a limited number of single-family homes. It is not a neighbourhood full of new construction or large-scale renovation, but that does make the homes affordable to purchase.
Resident Justin describes it aptly: "It's a nice, cosy, quiet neighbourhood. There is no nuisance from youth, which makes living here much more pleasant. Access to nice eateries, supermarket, public transport. There are plenty of places to walk the dog in the forest or let the dog off the lead in a park." That combination of peace, greenery and daily amenities within walking distance is precisely what characterises the neighbourhood. There is a supermarket in the immediate vicinity and along the Eygelshoverstraat you will find small catering establishments and shops for daily groceries. The Woonboulevard Kerkrade shopping centre and the centre of Kerkrade are within a short drive.
In terms of greenery, the neighbourhood scores an 8.0 in resident reviews. The Eygelshover Bos is within cycling distance and offers walking opportunities. Resident Govert confirms that the municipality actively maintains the greenery: "Municipality carries out a lot of maintenance on greenery, truly fantastic." At the same time, he points to occasional problems such as theft from cars and fireworks on the weekend of the nearby LHC. Accessibility is a clear plus point: the neighbourhood scores 8.7 on this component. Via the Eygelshoverstraat and the connection to the N300, the A76 is quickly accessible, making trips to Heerlen or the border with Germany smooth. Bus services run regularly towards the centre of Kerkrade and Heerlen.
Not all experiences are positive. Resident Paul gives a critical note about the condition of some rental apartments: damp problems, draughts and poor maintenance by the landlord, while the rent rises towards €800 per month. This mainly affects the rental sector, but it is a signal about the condition of part of the older housing stock. Anyone considering buying a home would be wise to have the structural condition properly inspected.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Hopel or Chevremont, Eygelshoven-Kom has a clearer village centre with its own identity. The Kerkrade-Noord district as a whole has higher average WOZ values, but Eygelshoven-Kom compensates with character and a strong amenities score of 8.3. More neighbourhood data and all resident reviews can be found on the neighbourhood page of Eygelshoven-Kom.
Who is a home in Eygelshoven-Kom interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts seniors and singles: the 65-plus group is the largest age group and one-person households are the most common household type. This makes the neighbourhood less obvious for young families, although there are primary school facilities in the area. First-time buyers purchasing an apartment in Eygelshoven-Kom can benefit from the lower entry prices (from €140,000), but must take into account older construction quality and possibly higher service costs for HOA apartments. Movers who want to combine peace and accessibility will find a realistic alternative here to more expensive neighbourhoods in the region. Considering renting instead of buying?

Auto-translated to English by AIIt was once a nice neighbourhood but not anymore. Nothing is being fixed in the apartment, it's draughty everywhere and damp, nothing is done about it, yet paying almost 800 euros. At the front, rats are running around, people have had rats on their balcony, the weeds are very high, almost up to the balcony.
