Binnenstad, Maastricht
NeighbourhoodThis is a truly exceptional home in the heart of Maastricht. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,200,000, the asking price is well above the neighbourhood average, but with 344 m² of living space it is also far larger than typical homes here, a rare combination that puts it in a league of its own. For context, the average price per m² for apartments in Maastricht is €6,617.
Binnenstad is the historic core of Maastricht, with a very high address density of 4,813 addresses per km², the highest urbanity level.

The housing stock is mostly pre-war (82.6% built before 1945), and only 14% of homes are owner-occupied, making this apartment a rarity. For more context, see the Binnenstad neighbourhood.
