Wyck, Maastricht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Ruiterij sits in one of Maastricht's most atmospheric streets, with the station and the river Maas just a short walk away. At 60 m² it is compact, but the building dates from 1700, giving it character you won't find in a modern flat. The asking price of €269,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €538,211, partly because the floor area is 43% smaller than the Wyck norm. For context, apartments in Maastricht typically command higher prices per square metre.

About Ruiterij 2C05, Maastricht
