A 1700s apartment on Klein Grachtje
This apartment on Klein Grachtje sits in the heart of Maastricht, where the streets are narrow and the atmosphere is historic. The home dates from 1700, which gives it a character that newer builds simply do not have. With a floor area of 119 m² and an energy label C, it is a substantial place to live. The rent of €1,211 per month is 44% below the neighbourhood average of €2,173, so it is keenly priced. For context, that is well under the average for apartments in Maastricht.
The Jekerkwartier neighbourhood
The Jekerkwartier neighbourhood is a compact, historic area with a strong sense of place. The population is young, with 36% of residents aged 15 to 25, and 75% of households are single-person. It is a place where students and older residents mix, and where the streets are busy with daily life. The housing stock is mostly rental, with 72% of homes rented out. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the figures alone.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from this spot. The Coop is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Binnenstad is a couple of streets away, with Montessori Basisschool. The train station is 2.2 km away, which is a longer walk but doable. This is a neighbourhood where you can live without a car for most things, and the municipality of Maastricht has plenty to offer beyond the immediate streets.
