Living in Kern Haelen, Leudal

Residents rate Kern Haelen an 8.0 out of 10. The beauty of the surroundings (8.7) and the green character are appreciated.

Resident Adil says he finds it "chaotic but cosy" and points to young people hanging around in the evenings: "I sometimes feel unsafe in the evening, there are many young people hanging around in the neighbourhood." The community score is therefore the lowest at 6.3. Yet he emphasises that neighbours have mutual respect and know each other, something typical of a Limburg village community.
