Frequently asked questions
About Recessenplein 51D, Maastricht
Is 776 euros a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of 776 euros per month is set for social housing, which means it is regulated and tied to the property's characteristics. Given the 62 m² floor area and the 1989 build year, the rent is in line with what you would expect for a social rental in Malberg. The neighbourhood's rental market shows that similar homes have been let recently, with an average listing time of 44 days.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration recorded in the national energy label database. A C label sits in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither the most nor the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs compared to homes with an A or B label, but the label itself does not tell you about the condition of the building or its installations.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 4.9 km from the home. That is a distance you would likely cover by bike or car rather than on foot. The station connects Malberg to the wider region, but the listing does not specify which station it is or which destinations are served.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Malberg has a mix of households, with 28% of homes being families with children and 30% being households without children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool Het Mozaïek and Islamitische Basisschool El Habib. Residents mention playgrounds and sports fields, and one review highlights a primary school that provides good education. The area also has plenty of green spaces, which families often appreciate.
Are there supermarkets close by?
Yes, Jumbo and Aldi are both just 125 metres away, so daily groceries are literally on your doorstep. A PLUS supermarket is about 1.1 km away, and an AH XL is 1.6 km from the home. For a larger covered shopping centre, one resident notes it is about 10 minutes by bike. This makes everyday shopping convenient without needing a car.
What do residents say about safety and community?
Residents give Malberg an average score of 8.5 out of 10. One resident who was initially intimidated by certain figures says almost everyone gets along just fine, and that the neighbourhood is not as bad as people make it out to be. Another mentions that the neighbourhood is always actively doing something, with events organised during holidays. One review does note that some people drive extremely fast on the Malbergsingel, which is a point of concern for that resident.
