Thorn, Maasgouw
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Boekenderweg sits in the historic town of Thorn, known for its whitewashed buildings. With 288 m² of living space on a 639 m² plot, it is a substantial home. The property dates from 1935 and has an energy label G, so heating costs will be high. Priced at €500,000, it is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €515,000, making it keenly priced for its size. For context, detached houses in Maasgouw typically command a premium.
Thorn is a small village with 2,375 residents, many of whom are older: a third are 65 or over. Households are mostly singles or couples without children.

Another notes: "The historic centre is beautiful, but you need a car for most errands." These views are based on a handful of reviews. The municipality Maasgouw covers several such villages along the Maas.
