Wyck, Maastricht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoogbrugstraat 31B in Maastricht is a rare find: a home from 1634, full of character, in the heart of Wyck. At 48 m² it's compact, but the price of €216,000 is the lowest of the 37 apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood, 60% below the average asking price of €538,211. That makes it a notably keen entry point into the local market. For context, apartments in Maastricht vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of age, size and price.
Wyck is the neighbourhood just across the river from Maastricht's old centre, with a dense, residential feel. With 5,630 residents packed into a highly urban area (address density 4,327 per km²), it's a place of singles and students: 51% of households are one-person, and the average household size is just 1.4. The population skews young, 30% are between 15 and 25, and older too, with 25% aged 65+. There are few families with children (only 205 households). The housing stock is mostly apartments (91%), and 38% of homes were built before 1945. This is the Wyck neighbourhood in a nutshell: historic, urban, and compact.
Your morning coffee is just around the corner: a restaurant is 200 m away, and the nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is on your doorstep. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. There's a primary school, Basisschool Wyck, a five-minute walk, and a secondary school, Montessori College Maastricht, even closer. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park or garden is just around the corner. Everything you need for daily life is within easy walking distance, which is typical for the municipality of Maastricht.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Zuyd Makelaardij & Vastgoed, Funda and Pararius.

About Hoogbrugstraat 31B, Maastricht
At €216,000, this is the cheapest of the 37 apartments currently for sale in Wyck, and 60% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €538,211. However, the floor area is 48 m², which is 55% smaller than the average of 106 m². The price per square metre works out at €4,500, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,489 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, especially given the historic character.
The energy label is C. That's a decent rating for a home built in 1634, in fact, 42% of homes in Wyck have label A, and only 10.5% have label C or lower. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not the most efficient, but given the age of the building, it's a respectable score.
Very convenient. The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is just 75 m away, on your doorstep. Ekoplaza is 266 m, SPAR is 397 m, and there's an AH to go at the station (444 m). For daily groceries, you won't need to walk far. There's also a restaurant at 200 m and a park at 300 m.

Wyck is highly urban, with an address density of 4,327 per km², the highest category. It's a lively, compact neighbourhood with many singles and students.

At 48 m², this apartment is 55% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 106 m². It's a compact home, typical of historic city-centre apartments. The average price per m² in Wyck is €5,489, so this one at roughly €4,500 per m² is below average, reflecting its smaller size and perhaps the need for some updating.
The listing doesn't provide details on maintenance, but the energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done. The building is very old, 1634, so you can expect character features but also potential quirks.
