Heilust, Kerkrade
NeighbourhoodThis 35 m² studio on Akerstraat offers a surprisingly calm setting for a home of its size. The energy label C means reasonable efficiency, and the asking price of €299,000 is on the high side compared to other studios in Kerkrade. Built in 1958, it has a classic layout that you can shape to your own taste.
Heilust is a neighbourhood where opinions vary. One resident calls it a "nice quiet neighbourhood" and says there is "never any trouble and always quiet on the street." Another describes it as "beautiful" and quiet. But a third review paints a very different picture, mentioning antisocial behaviour, rubbish dumping, and an unsafe feeling for vulnerable people. Based on three reviews, the average score is 5.66 out of 10. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, and a high proportion of single-person households. For more context, see the neighbourhood Heilust.
For your morning bread, Aldi is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool De Doorkijk and Basisschool de Spoorzoeker. A GP and a park are both on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just a five-minute walk. The municipality Kerkrade offers further amenities a short distance away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Damen Makelaardij and Funda.

Never any trouble and always quiet on the street
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is quiet and not too many problems
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople with a low level of education who are on welfare and may or may not earn extra cash under the table. They have no understanding for people with a disability. People who swear at you and have a big mouth, and rubbish is dumped, making the street dirty. Not a neighbourhood for people with autism, Down syndrome, etc., because if you have that, you're made out to be crazy while they don't even really get to know you. And a lot of antisocial behaviour here, which creates an unsafe living environment. The housing association should be honest about the fact that Heilust is known as a deprived area. I was told this by mental health services when I already lived there. I would have liked to know about the situation before I moved in, because now, as a woman with autism, I'm stuck in a hopeless situation that I can no longer cope with. Heemwonen is very unfriendly to customers. That should be much better.
