The energy label is D, which is average for a house of this age (1935). In Scharn, about 29% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while 21% have A or A+.

How residents experience their district
I have beautiful and less beautiful experiences. Too many outsiders are placed, sorry but it doesn't give a safe feeling. The little park is nice and pleasant for walking, but it's also an escape route. Install more cameras.

Auto-translated to English by AIit is not a decent neighbourhood with no decent people which is why there is always police houses are too expensive

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood to live in. The only pity is that nothing has been created for children on the square. Otherwise, we have everything we need in the neighbourhood. GP, pharmacy, supermarket, etc. It's just a short walk to the centre. But I find it terrible that, especially in summer, the council only collects the bins every other week.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a year now, Limmel is a nice and quiet neighbourhood, even with university students, it remains a peaceful environment for everyone. So I'm very satisfied.

How residents experience their municipality
everything perfect lovely people and many amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIBorn here, many homes are poor, damp and drafty and too expensive
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house, and I mean really pressing their face against the window to peep. For "fun", young people have tried to kick my door in, which I think is going too far. Furthermore, there are curious, quiet, and friendly elderly people in the neighbourhood. Every kid here has a fatbike, of course. Lack of parking. Jumbo, Action, and Trekpleister in the area, plus a decent-sized shopping centre nearby. Generally, people are polite if you greet them. Rubbish could be collected more often, but that might be a Maastricht thing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little greenery, few amenities, and the houses are extremely poorly insulated.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety has improved slightly in recent years. However, there is still nuisance, especially from September onwards, from illegal heavy fireworks Category 4/5 in the evening hours. At New Year's Eve, we ourselves call it a war zone here, you can no longer go outside safely and that for 48 hours. With dogs, it's a lot of stress for us. Something should be done about this, you have to flee your home, living enjoyment is legally required.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant surroundings and nice and quiet. In a word, great to live in!
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little to do for young people
