Accessibility scores highly and that's correct. Station Eygelshoven Markt is in the neighbourhood and offers a direct Arriva connection towards Heerlen (around 10 minutes) and Landgraaf.

Resident Paul is critical of the maintenance of some rental apartments: "It was once a nice neighbourhood, but the weeds are very high and there are problems with damp." This mainly concerns the rental part, but it's good to know if you're considering buying an apartment in a mixed complex.
