Heerlen-Centrum, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis room on Saroleastraat is in the heart of Heerlen, a city that's modernising but still has its rough edges. At €550 a month, the rent is 60% below the neighbourhood average of €1,383, a keen price for a room this size. For context, the average room in Heerlen goes for about €547, so this is right in line. If you're looking for a room in Heerlen, this is one to consider.
Heerlen-Centrum is a dense urban area with 2,835 residents, mostly single-person households. One resident describes it as a safe neighbourhood if you know your way around, but notes that crime and poverty are visible. They say: "I see more people on benefits than working, and with each year, more and more homeless people." The city is trying to modernise, painting flats, for instance, but the resident adds: "that doesn't mean you've removed the ghetto." Accessibility is good, but e-scooters and similar amenities are lacking. This is based on one review. The municipality Heerlen is working on improvements, but the area remains what one resident calls "my crack neighbourhood."
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Aldi are a five-minute walk away. There are several schools nearby: SO De Pyler (special secondary) is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool Eikenderveld is also within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with restaurants and a library is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, this room is listed via RNC Wonen and also on Pararius, so it's available through two channels.

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. You can encounter strange people here and experience situations that don't happen just like that outside this area. There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it. On top of that, there is simply a lot of poverty here. I see more people on benefits than working, and with each year, more and more homeless people. I see that they are trying their best to modernise the city. They are doing quite well at that, but... take the Aurora flats, for example. They've painted them all nice colours now, but that doesn't mean you've removed the ghetto. The same junkies and dealers still live in the flats as before. And I still wouldn't recommend walking alone in the dark. I think Heerlen is becoming more modern every year, but it remains my crack neighbourhood. Accessibility is fine, but we still don't have things like e-scooters or e-steps. Tram or metro. I can understand the tram and metro, but we are really lagging behind when it comes to e-scooters, etc. A few years ago, we only got those bikes you can rent... and then they basically showed that we can't handle that responsibility at all here. We destroy everything here that has any money in it or doesn't belong to us.
