Maaspoort along the Maas: green, quiet and highly rated by residents
Maaspoort is located on the north side of Den Bosch, directly bordering the Maas, and that is precisely what gives the neighbourhood its character. It is not a bustling city district, but a place where families and people in their forties consciously choose: space, greenery, and a sense of overview. The largest age group consists of 45 to 65-year-olds (nearly 4,800 people), and the percentage of married households is 42%. That says something about the atmosphere: Maaspoort is a neighbourhood where people have settled, not a transit area for students or starters.
On the Maaspoort neighbourhood page, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 8.9 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Chiel, who lives in Maasvallei, simply describes his neighbourhood as "super good". The subscores are impressive: safety, accessibility, community, greenery and education all score 9.0. Housing even gets a 10. Only the beauty of the neighbourhood scores slightly lower at 7.0, indicating that not all streets and buildings look equally well-maintained.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own atmosphere. Those who love peace and water will quickly look at Maasoever or Maasdal. Families with children will find a newer, spacious layout in Het Zilverpark. Accessibility is highly valued by residents: Den Bosch Central can be reached in a few minutes, and via the A2 and A59 you can quickly drive into the region. Daily shopping can be done at the Maaspoort shopping centre, which is large enough for everything you need without having to go to the city centre.
