Living in Buitenwijk Zuidwest: green, quiet and close to the city
Buitenwijk Zuidwest is no ordinary suburb. The neighbourhood includes green and partly rural areas such as Sint Pieter, Villapark and Jekerdal, each with its own atmosphere. Sint Pieter borders the Jekerdal and the Cannerberg, with walking paths right from your doorstep. Villapark is exactly what the name suggests: wide avenues, large plots and a quiet, neat appearance. Residents on the neighbourhood homepage of Buitenwijk Zuidwest particularly appreciate the peace and greenery. One resident writes: "You live here five minutes from the centre but it feels like you're outside the city. That's the big advantage." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited shopping facilities within the neighbourhood itself and the reliance on the car for daily errands.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is modest. There are primary schools nearby, including schools in Sint Pieter and along the Luikerweg, but for extensive shopping you drive to the centre or to the supermarkets along the Prins Bisschopsingel. For sports, there are opportunities via the nearby sports complexes and the extensive nature of the Jekerdal and the Sint-Pietersberg, which allow for walking, cycling and climbing. Neighbourhoods such as Wolder and Biesland on the edge of the neighbourhood have a more rural character and attract people who really want to live outside the city without completely letting go of the city.
Accessibility is twofold. By car, via the A2 you are quickly heading towards Liège or north towards Eindhoven. The centre of Maastricht can be reached by bike in ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport is less strong: bus lines run via the Luikerweg and the Tongerseweg, but the frequency is limited outside peak hours. Maastricht station is a few kilometres away. Those who travel daily by train or bus would do well to consult the timetable of the municipality of Maastricht for current public transport information in the neighbourhood. Those who want to look at similar living environments can also look at Buitenwijk West or Buitenwijk Oost.
