The asking price of €229,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €395,000, but this home is also smaller than the typical property here (135 m² vs 232 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €1,696, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €1,703. Given the energy label E and the need for potential upgrades, the price seems keen and reflects the home's size and condition.
The energy label is E, which is below average for homes in Erenstein, most homes for sale here have label A or B.

How residents experience their district
I've never really had any problems in the mentioned areas, hence I gave everything at least a 7. Although I think the problems that exist are more problems that are the same throughout the Netherlands.
Auto-translated to English by AILived here for 34 years, the area has deteriorated, gardens etc. are very dirty, not a tidy neighbourhood, what could be improved in this area is that more maintenance is done on greenery and the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AINice, very quiet neighbourhood with nice houses
Auto-translated to English by AIit's fine, only the renovations are very bad here
Auto-translated to English by AIRight from the start, men were busy using drugs. The municipality of Kerkrade did little with the police, and it hasn't helped at all; drug dealers are still active. Luckily, we are now in a safe place where you can go for a walk without worry. The municipality of Kerkrade is driving families away from Kerkrade and prefers Ukrainian people over their own Dutch people. It would be good if Russia dropped a bomb on the town hall of Kerkrade; then maybe something good would come back in its place.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood living, accessibility fine. Few contacts because we only just moved in. Many empty commercial premises being converted into housing with many Eastern Europeans.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children. Unemployment (not wanting to work because the ratio of participation and income is almost equal). Glad that the children receive good education at a broad school that has everything. Also very happy that we can walk into nature like this.
Auto-translated to English by AINever really busy, occasional arguments, rubbish bags are just dumped everywhere

Auto-translated to English by AIIn reports there is mention of theft from cars. At weekends sometimes fireworks from LHC. The municipality does a lot of maintenance on greenery, truly fantastic.
Auto-translated to English by AINever any trouble and always quiet on the street
Auto-translated to English by AILots of nature, beautiful surroundings, quiet living
Auto-translated to English by AIIt was once a nice neighbourhood but not anymore. Nothing is being fixed in the apartment, it's draughty everywhere and damp, nothing is done about it, yet paying almost 800 euros. At the front, rats are running around, people have had rats on their balcony, the weeds are very high, almost up to the balcony.
