Frequently asked questions
About Gasthuisstraat 161, Meerssen
Is €695,000 a fair price for this detached house?
The asking price is 38% above the neighbourhood average of €502,483, but the home is also 58% larger than the average (301 m² vs 191 m²). The price per m² works out to about €2,308, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,170 per m². So while the total price is high, you get significantly more space for your money.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, only 3.4% of homes have label A, and 6.9% have label A+, so this home is among the most efficient in the area.
How safe is the neighbourhood?
Residents report mixed feelings about safety. One review notes that social safety varies greatly from street to street, with drug labs busted in some streets while others have large villas. Another resident says crime has reduced social safety. The neighbourhood recorded 255 total crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
What schools are nearby?
Basisschool De WereldSter is a five-minute walk away (354 m), and Stella Maris College secondary school is about a ten-minute walk (736 m). There are also other primary schools within a couple of kilometres, such as Basisschool de Lindegaerd and Openbare Daltonschool De Bundeling.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. There are also several bus stops in the neighbourhood, including a neighbourhood bus, making public transport accessible.
What is the plot size and is there a garden?
The plot is 79 m². The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so it's unclear whether there is private outdoor space. The home is a detached house, so it likely has some outdoor area, but this is not confirmed in the data.
How many bedrooms does this home have?
With 301 m² of floor area, it is likely to have multiple bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
Experiences from Meerssen
How residents experience their neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood there are many groups of residents living together, including foreigners but also Dutch families. Social safety can vary greatly from street to street. For example, drug labs have been busted in one street, while in another street there are large villas. So there is a big contrast. The people in the neighbourhood are very sociable and like to chat. There is sometimes litter on the street, but there are cleaning services. There is nothing in the neighbourhood, and in the surrounding area there are small parks. There is a secondary school and a primary school, as well as nursery and preschool care that are mainstream and generally rated well. There is a train station and several bus stops, including a neighbourhood bus.
Auto-translated to English by AIMeerssen is a nice neighbourhood where I have lived all my life. But in Meerssen itself there is also a lot of crime, which has reduced social safety. In Meerssen, more and more people with a non-Western background have come to live. In Meerssen, there are mainly many elderly people, but there are also streets where more households with young children live, and there are also some loitering youths on the streets. In my opinion, more attention could be paid to safety in Meerssen, and more things should be arranged for young people so that they do not just hang around on the streets and cause nuisance.
