Living in Lindenheuvel: an established family neighbourhood with a Limburg character

Lindenheuvel is one of the larger neighbourhoods within Geleen and has a distinct character of its own. The district was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, at a time when the mining industry was still in full swing and homes were quickly needed for families. This is reflected in the streetscape: wide avenues with plenty of greenery, terraced houses with front and back gardens, and the occasional flat or porch house. The neighbourhood feels quiet and orderly, with short lines between neighbours. With 7,740 residents, it is not a small neighbourhood, but it still has something of a village feel. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and the number of over-65s (1,625) is also considerable. At the same time, there are over 1,000 children under 15, so it is certainly not an ageing neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, Lindenheuvel is well equipped. At the Markt van Lindenheuvel you will find an Albert Heijn and various small shops. Basisschool De Horizon and Basisschool St. Jozef are nearby, and for secondary education you can go to the Graaf Huyn College in Geleen-Centrum. There is a GP practice, a pharmacy and sports park De Vrank is within walking distance. For those who love greenery: Stadspark Geleen and the Geleenbeekdal are reachable within a few minutes by bike.

Accessibility is solid. Station Geleen-Lutterade is within cycling distance and takes you to Maastricht or Heerlen in a quarter of an hour. By car, via the Rijksweg you are quickly on the A76 towards Heerlen or the A2 towards Maastricht and Eindhoven. Bus routes through the neighbourhood connect you with the centre of Geleen and Sittard.
