Scharn, Maastricht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oranjeplein in Maastricht's Scharn neighbourhood is a no-nonsense home with a practical layout. At 69 m² it's compact, and with an energy label G you know heating costs will be a factor. The asking price of €285,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €477,692, partly because the home is smaller and less efficient than much of the local supply. For context, the average apartments in Maastricht sell for a range of prices, but this one is clearly priced to reflect its size and label.
Scharn is a lively part of Maastricht with a strong urban feel, the address density is high at 2,656 addresses per km². The population is diverse: many single-person households, a good share of students and young adults, and a mix of ages. One resident sums it up: "It's very easy to get to shops from the neighbourhood. Everyone is friendly, almost no crime and very cosy everywhere." That single review gives a flavour of what the Scharn neighbourhood is like: convenient and safe. The housing stock is a mix of pre-war and post-war buildings, with about half being single-family homes and half apartments.
Your daily shopping is sorted: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Lidl are a couple of streets away. For school runs, KKC De Loper primary school is on your doorstep, and Sint-Maartenscollege secondary school is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood also has a GP practice, a restaurant and a library within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, making it easy to get out of town. All of this falls within the municipality of Maastricht, which offers a full range of urban amenities.

About Oranjeplein 91D, Maastricht
The asking price of €285,000 is 40% below the average asking price in Scharn (€477,692), but the apartment is also 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average (69 m² vs 126 m²) and has an energy label G. So the price reflects the size and energy efficiency. Compared to other apartments in the area, it is on the lower end of the price range, which starts at €259,000.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Scharn, most homes for sale have a label C or better, so this one stands out as less efficient. The exact running costs depend on usage, but it is worth factoring in a higher energy budget.
Very convenient. Albert Heijn is 312 metres away, just around the corner. Jumbo and Lidl are both within 550 metres, a couple of streets away. There is also an AH to go and a SPAR within walking distance. So you have plenty of options for groceries without needing a car.
There are several schools within walking distance. KKC De Loper primary school is just 87 metres away, on your doorstep. Sint-Maartenscollege secondary school is 500 metres away, a five-minute walk. Other primary schools like De Poort EOA and De Poort Montessori Basisschool are also within 650 metres.
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities without needing a car.
According to one resident, there is 'almost no crime' and the area feels 'very cosy'. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 245, but without a per-capita comparison it is hard to judge. The resident review suggests a positive experience.
The neighbourhood has a mix of residents: many single-person households (about 2,080), a large group of 15-25 year olds (1,460) and 25-45 year olds (1,530), plus a significant number of over-65s (1,400). So it attracts students, young professionals and older residents alike.
