Living in 't Loon, Heerlen

't Loon is a neighbourhood inextricably linked to the shopping centre of the same name, 't Loon, the largest covered shopping centre in Heerlen. That may sound like a busy, impersonal environment, but the residential neighbourhood itself is surprisingly quiet. Most homes are in the flats and apartment complexes around the shopping centre, built from the 1970s and 1980s. Think porch flats with three to five storeys and a handful of larger apartments with views over the centre. It is not a neighbourhood with front gardens and play streets, but an urban living environment where you literally live above the shops.

In terms of amenities, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. In shopping centre 't Loon you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Lidl, drugstores, clothing shops and eateries. The weekly market on Pancratiusplein is within walking distance, as are the library and the Parkstad Limburg Theatre. So you don't need to get in the car for daily shopping and a cup of coffee. There are fewer schools in the immediate vicinity, but primary schools such as De Horizon and De Tovercirkel in neighbouring areas are within a ten-minute walk.

Accessibility is a strong point. Heerlen Station is less than a ten-minute walk away and offers direct trains to Maastricht, Sittard and Kerkrade. Bus lines via the bus station on Stationsstraat connect you with the rest of Parkstad. By car, via the Groene Boord you are quickly on the A76 towards Geleen or the German border. "Everything is close by, you hardly need a car," wrote a resident in a review on the neighbourhood page of 't Loon. That's right: for an urban neighbourhood, accessibility scores well.

Those who live here are often single. Over 315 of the households are single-person households and the largest age group is 65-plus (350 of the 755 residents). This gives the neighbourhood a calm, somewhat older character. The average income of €33,000 is at the level of the district, slightly above the Heerlen average of €31,100. The labour participation rate of 52% is on the low side, which is related to the large proportion of pensioners.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Heerlen-Centrum and Op de Nobel, 't Loon is slightly more expensive in terms of WOZ value, but you get the proximity of the shopping centre and the station in return. If you are looking for more greenery and a village-like feel, Lindeveld is worth a look.

Is a home for sale in 't Loon right for you?

Buying a home in 't Loon is particularly interesting for singles, seniors and starters who want to live centrally without being dependent on a car. The combination of an average purchase price around €245,000 and apartments from €165,000 makes the neighbourhood accessible for those taking their first step on the housing market. Note: the supply is limited (28 sales in a year) and popular apartments sell quickly. Families with children will find little play space and few single-family homes here. Those who prefer to rent can turn to the supply of rental properties in 't Loon, although this is entirely in the hands of private landlords. Be honest with yourself: if you are looking for a garden and peace, also look at districts such as Maria Gewanden en Terschuren or Mariarade.
