About Helmstraat 2C02, Maastricht
The asking price of €1,250,000 is 91% above the neighbourhood average of €653,806. However, this apartment is also 80% larger than the average (203 m² vs 113 m²) and has an energy label A, which is better than most homes in Binnenstad. The price per m² works out to about €6,158, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,617 per m². So while the total price is high, it reflects the size and efficiency.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a fifteen-minute walk.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, only 21.1% of homes have label A, and 5.3% have A+ or better, so this apartment is above average in efficiency.
The neighbourhood recorded 1,232 total incidents, which is high for a residential area. However, this is typical for a city centre with many shops, restaurants, and nightlife. The data does not break down the types of incidents.
Montessori Basisschool is 199 metres away, Basisschool Sint Aloysius is 415 metres, and Openbare Basisschool Binnenstad is 699 metres. All are primary schools. For secondary education, the nearest is 2.4 km away.
The building was constructed in 1920, so it is over a century old. In the neighbourhood, 82.6% of homes were built before 1945, so this is consistent with the area's historic character.
Given the high price and central location, buyers are likely professionals or investors looking for a spacious city-centre apartment. The neighbourhood has many young adults and single-person households, but this home is larger than average.
