Schandelen, Heerlen
NeighbourhoodThis 1903 terraced house on Schandelerstraat has a surprising amount of space, 140 m² spread over several floors, and sits in the heart of Heerlen. With an energy label C, it's not the most modern, but it's perfectly liveable. The asking price of €219,000 is noticeably keen: that's 16% below the average asking price for terraced houses in Heerlen, which makes it a sharp option in the current market.
Schandelen is a diverse, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages and household types, lots of singles and older residents, but also families. One resident describes it as "a neighbourhood with many different types of people", noting that while there can be nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths, overall it's reasonably quiet. They appreciate the easy access to shops, the centre and the station, but mention that hygiene could be better, bins overflow and rats appear. Greenery has declined over the years. The neighbourhood Schandelen has a very high density of addresses (2999 per km²), so it's a bustling, urban environment.
For daily errands, you've got an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: secondary schools like Emmacollege and Techniekcollege are within a five-minute walk. The primary school is about 900 m away, and a child daycare centre is 600 m. The municipality Heerlen has all the usual amenities within easy reach, a park or public garden is just 200 m from your front door.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Leenen Vastgoed, Funda and Pararius.

I notice that in our area there is quite often nuisance from homeless people or loitering youths. I hear from the older residents in the neighbourhood that they don't like to go out alone because they don't feel very safe. I don't experience this myself, but I grew up in Heerlen and I can definitely stand my ground. Overall, it's reasonably quiet in the neighbourhood. Apart from a few incidents. I think it's a pleasant neighbourhood because it's easily accessible to the supermarket, the centre, the station, etc. I must admit, though, that when it's dark I also prefer not to walk alone. The hygiene in the neighbourhood could, in my opinion, be much better. The bins are often overflowing and smell very bad, and as a result you see rats and such more often. And as for greenery, I find it quite disappointing here. Many trees have been removed, etc. There used to be much more green and nature.
