Homes for sale in Maasplassen, Roermond

House prices in Maasplassen: well above the Roermond average

Maasplassen is one of the most expensive residential areas in Roermond. The average WOZ value is €563,000, while the municipal average is €289,000. That difference is no coincidence: those who buy here do so deliberately. It concerns spacious, often detached homes on or near the lakes, with plots that bear no relation to what you find elsewhere in the municipality. In the past twelve months, two homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €1,012,000. The range ran from €709,000 to €1,315,000, with an average living area of 536 m². That says enough about the segment. Buying apartments in Maasplassen is hardly an option; the supply consists mainly of large detached owner-occupied homes. For current asking prices and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Over 72% of homes in Maasplassen are owner-occupied. The remaining 25% is rented out via private landlords; there are no social housing units from a housing association. The housing stock totals just 36 homes, making the neighbourhood exceptionally small. Supply is scarce, and when something becomes available, it quickly attracts the attention of buyers who specifically choose this type of living.

Living by the water: what makes Maasplassen different from the rest of Roermond

Maasplassen is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is built around the lakes that were created after sand extraction along the Maas, and that completely determines the character of the area. Residents literally live on the water, with private jetties, boats at their doorstep, and views you won't find anywhere else in Roermond. The tranquillity is striking. With 110 residents and 36 homes, it feels more like a residential park than an urban neighbourhood. The dominant age group is 45 to 65 years, supplemented by a significant proportion of over-65s. Families with young children are few and far between here.

On the neighbourhood page of Maasplassen you will find resident reviews and neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity, the nature right on their doorstep, and the sense of privacy that you rarely encounter in a city like Roermond. A frequently mentioned point in the reviews is that the neighbourhood has no real amenities: no supermarket, no primary school, no GP within walking distance. That is deliberate: those who live here accept that and arrange everything in the city. For daily shopping, you drive to the centre of Roermond or to the neighbourhoods Maasniel or Roermond-Zuid, where supermarkets and other amenities are readily available.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is dependent on the car. Roermond Station is a few kilometres away, from where you can travel via the intercity towards Eindhoven, Venlo and Maastricht. The A73 and A2 are quickly accessible, making the connection with Eindhoven (approximately 45 minutes) and the border region with Germany and Belgium smooth. Public transport is minimal in Maasplassen itself; a car of your own is not a luxury but a necessity. Those who want to combine the tranquillity of Maasplassen with more urban amenities can also look at the Centre or Roermond-Oost, although these are fundamentally different living environments.

Who is a home for sale in Maasplassen suitable for?

Buying a home in Maasplassen is almost exclusively reserved for movers and affluent buyers who consciously choose space, water and tranquillity. First-time buyers and young families are out of the question due to the high entry price: on average more than one million euros. Also don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for owner-occupation), notary costs and possible estate agent costs quickly run into tens of thousands of euros at this price level. Moreover, supply is sparse, so anyone seriously wanting to buy in Maasplassen must be patient. As an alternative, you can also look at rental homes in Maasplassen or the broader supply of homes for sale in Roermond.
