Heerlen-Centrum
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a strong city-centre feel. The one review available gives it a 7 out of 10, and it is honest about the trade-offs. One resident says: "Personally, I think it's a safe neighbourhood, but that's because I know where I can go and what I'm allowed to do. If I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe." They also note that "there is simply a lot of poverty here" and that "they are trying their best to modernise the city." The neighbourhood is home to many single-person households, and the population skews older, with a third of residents aged 65 or over. It is a lively, sometimes challenging part of town, best understood by spending time there. This is the character of the municipality of Heerlen as a whole.
