A third mentions: "A lot of nuisance from the beaver. 3 big holes in my hedge, called the water board, they do nothing, this is not fun at all!" Based on three reviews, the average score is 7.44, so most people are fairly content. The population skews older, with 37% aged 65 or over, and many households are single-person (43%).

Frequently asked questions
About Oude Maastrichterweg 17L, Gulpen
Is €1,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €1,250 per month for a 72 m² apartment, which works out to about €17.36 per m². That's above the neighbourhood average of €11.40 per m² for rentals, and also above the average rent of €1,064. However, this is a modern apartment from 2002, and the price reflects that. Whether it's fair depends on what you value, but it's certainly on the higher end for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A C label is mid-range, meaning energy costs are likely moderate, but the label itself doesn't tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system. It's simply a standardised measure.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarkets are PLUS and Aldi, both within about 500 to 600 metres. That's roughly a five-minute walk, so picking up groceries is easy. There's also a SPAR about 2.1 km away if you want more options.
What schools are nearby?
There are several schools within a short distance. Basisschool De Triangel and a special school are about 247 metres away, and the secondary school Sophianum SGM is about 444 metres. So for primary and secondary education, you're well covered without needing to travel far.
How is the neighbourhood for peace and quiet?
Residents generally describe Gulpen as quiet, though one mentions that people tend to keep to themselves, making social contact a bit difficult. Another notes that pavement maintenance has declined over the years. There's also a mention of nuisance from a beaver, which has caused holes in a hedge. Overall, it's a calm area, but not without its minor issues.
What is the public transport situation?
The nearest train station is about 5.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd likely need a car or bus to reach it.

Experiences from Gulpen-Wittem
How residents experience their municipality
Do you live remotely? No. There is an excellent bus connection to Gulpen and Maastricht (including the hospital). No more school in Slenaken, but within 5 to 10 minutes by car there are several options. Limited choice of shops, soon you'll have to go by car. The local baker in Slenaken is wonderful! Beautiful nature where you can walk. Disadvantage? Ageing population, few homes for starters, so the young people are leaving.

Auto-translated to English by AIA wonderfully quiet neighbourhood with beautiful views and great walking routes. In total 4 different bus connections and a bustling shopping centre 2.8 km away. In short, almost everything you would expect from the Heuvelland. Thanks to the spacious cycle and footpaths, the area is extremely suitable for group tours. With a community centre, monastery centre, churches, restaurants and a police station nearby, this neighbourhood is safe and lively. Along the walking routes that extend to, among others, the viewpoint on the Gulperberg, there are enough rubbish bins to keep everything nice and clean. With a primary school, special needs school and secondary school nearby, the area is ideal for families.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe get together occasionally. When there are people who have been married for 50 years, the neighbourhood decorates. And there have been quite a few.
