Homes for sale in Heugem, Maastricht

House prices and market figures in Heugem, Maastricht

The housing market in Heugem presents an interesting picture. Of the more than 2,200 homes in the neighbourhood, 43% are owner-occupied and 56% are rental properties. This means the supply for buyers is more limited than in some other Maastricht neighbourhoods. The average WOZ value is €275,000, which is almost equal to the average of the district Buitenwijk Zuidoost (€271,000) but noticeably lower than the Maastricht average of €302,000. However, actual selling prices are significantly higher: in the past twelve months, 46 homes were sold for an average of €437,349. The range runs from approximately €215,000 to €650,000, indicating that both more modest apartments and larger single-family homes change hands. With an average living area of 123 m², the price per square metre comes to about €3,555. That is relatively affordable compared to Maastricht city centre, but you should keep in mind that overbidding still occurs in this region. At the top of this page you will always find the current asking prices and selling times.

Living in Heugem: village character on the edge of Maastricht

Heugem is one of those neighbourhoods that was once an independent village and still radiates that feel. It lies wedged between the Meuse and the Julianakanaal, in the southeast of Maastricht. This location gives it a somewhat secluded feel. You notice it in the atmosphere: it is smaller-scale than many other Maastricht neighbourhoods, with low-rise buildings, its own village centre around the Sint-Martinuskerk, and relatively plenty of green along the banks. Residents therefore give the green environment a score of 7.0.

The housing stock is diverse. You will find post-war terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s, but also newer semi-detached houses and a number of detached homes towards the Meuse bank. Apartments are also available, especially in the larger complexes on the edge of the neighbourhood. The mix of housing types explains the wide price range. With an average income of €34,000 and 31% highly educated, the population is fairly mixed, although it is notable that the largest age group is between 45 and 65 years old.

In terms of amenities, you have to be honest: Heugem is not a neighbourhood where you have everything within walking distance. There is a primary school and along the Tongerseweg towards the centre you will find some shops, but for a large supermarket or extensive shopping options you rely on nearby Randwyck or the centre. Resident Gerda puts it aptly: she finds Heugem "a bit remote" and says she would prefer to return to the west side of the city, closer to acquaintances and amenities. The partial score for amenities is therefore one of the lower ones at 5.7.

Accessibility scores better (7.0). By car, you are quickly on the A2 motorway towards Liège or Eindhoven. Bus lines connect Heugem with the centre and Maastricht station, and Randwyck station is within cycling distance. Still, it is not a neighbourhood where you can easily manage without a car, especially in the evenings. More information about the municipality and accessibility can be found on the website of the municipality of Maastricht.

Resident Tanja gives the neighbourhood a 6.8 but adds a caveat: "Our neighbourhood used to be nice and quiet but not anymore, Heugem has really gone downhill." The safety score of 5.0 confirms that picture. It is something to take seriously if you want to buy a house here. At the same time, residents appreciate the housing itself (7.0) and the green character. On the neighbourhood page of Heugem you can read all reviews and scores per category. If you compare Heugem with neighbouring areas like Heer or De Heeg, it stands out that Heugem feels more village-like and greener, but is less central.

Is a home for sale in Heugem right for you?
