A modern apartment in Malpertuis
This newly built apartment on Criekenput 21C sits in Malpertuis, a neighbourhood on the west side of Maastricht. The home is part of a recent development, so everything feels fresh and contemporary. With an A+++ energy label, it is about as efficient as homes get, which keeps running costs pleasantly low. The rent of €960 is in line with what similar apartments in Maastricht go for, and the supply of rental homes in the city is limited, so this one stands out. For a sense of what else is available, you can compare it with other apartments in Maastricht.
The Malpertuis neighbourhood
Malpertuis is a mixed area with a bit of everything, and the one review we have gives it a 7 out of 10. One resident says: "Nice neighbourhood, but not for families with young children", adding that they are "often bothered by drug deals, too many students, more maintenance of green spaces and parks needed". It is a candid take, and it reflects a place that has its charms but also its rough edges. The population is diverse, with a large share of single-person households and a good mix of ages, from young adults to retirees. It is not a quiet family suburb, but it has a lively, urban feel.
