Buitenwijk Noordoost: green and quiet, but not for everyone
Those looking for rental properties in Buitenwijk Noordoost end up in a neighbourhood that clearly has its own character. It is one of the greener corners of Maastricht, with a population predominantly in the 45 to 65 age range. Nearly 45% of residents are married, and the proportion of single-person households is relatively modest for an urban neighbourhood. That says something about the atmosphere: it is quieter here than in the bustling centre of Maastricht, with less nightlife hustle and more space.
On the neighbourhood page of Buitenwijk Noordoost you will find reviews and scores from residents who actually live there. What comes through in the experiences is the peace and green surroundings. Residents appreciate the space and the feeling of a somewhat more village-like life close to the city. The neighbourhood Borgharen and nearby Itteren are good examples of this: ribbons along the Maas with a very distinct character, far removed from urban hustle. Also Meerssenhoven and Beatrixhaven are part of this neighbourhood and each offers a different living environment, from harbour-related activity to residential areas on the edge of the city.
Those who want to do daily shopping or use public transport will notice that facilities in the neighbourhood itself are limited. For a larger range of shops or a train connection, you have to rely on other parts of Maastricht. The municipality focuses on accessibility and liveability in the outer neighbourhoods, but the distance to the city centre does require a car or bicycle. Read more about what residents think of this via the experiences and ratings on the neighbourhood page.
