No problems in this part of Geleen-Zuid. Good neighbourhood, clean environment. Public transport to the station and centre could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Sittard-Geleen for just over half a year. I'm originally from Hoensbroek/Heerlen, and although that's not the tidiest place, I do feel safe there. At Zuidhof there are ALWAYS homeless people, junkies, alcoholics and many foreigners. Drugs and crime are too prevalent here in my opinion. I also find it totally unpleasant to live here without a driving licence or other means of transport. Every flat has rubbish that the municipality barely cleans up or does nothing about. Noise nuisance is probably one of the things that bothers me most here... think extremely loud music on a weekday at half past one in the morning... this happens daily and also at weekends. Nothing is done about it despite the complaints... In short, I think it's a really shitty place to live!!!

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a lot of shouting in the street or in the neighbours' garden, not only during the day but especially in the evenings and at night. You also hear dogs barking 24/7 and there is a lot of fireworks. There are many homeless people drinking in public, even during the day. They also leave beer cans lying around everywhere. It's only because it's cheap to live here and there is currently no other housing option elsewhere that we live here. But we would have preferred to have left here a long time ago. The plus point is that within a 10-minute walk you are in the middle of nature. There is a supermarket nearby. But we prefer to take the car to a better supermarket that is not within walking distance.

About Barbarastraat 46, Geleen
With 149 m² of living space and a 127 m² plot, the price of €289,000 works out at about €1,940 per m². That's competitive for a mid-terrace house in Geleen-Zuid, especially given the energy label C and the fact that it's a single-family home. The neighbourhood has a mix of opinions, but the house itself offers good value for the size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1968. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-range. You can expect moderate energy bills, though improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring it up to a higher label.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's convenient for commuting to Sittard, Maastricht or further afield.
Reviews of Geleen-Zuid are mixed. One resident says it's "Clean, safe" with no problems, while another complains about drugs, noise and rubbish. A third simply calls it "Zuid is ghetto" but gives it a neutral score. It's a diverse area, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
Yes, Basisschool Reuzepas is just 211 m away, and Graaf Huyn College for secondary education is 814 m away. Several other primary schools are within a 10-minute walk, making it a practical location for families with school-age children.
