Living in Maaswaard, Venlo

Maaswaard is a neighbourhood you won't quickly forget once you cycle through it. The name says it all: the neighbourhood lies directly on the Maas, on the south side of Venlo, and that gives it a very distinctive atmosphere. Along the Maasboulevard there are detached villas and spacious semi-detached homes with views of the river. Further on, towards the inner streets, you'll find more terraced houses and a handful of apartment complexes, mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s. The mix of housing types ensures the neighbourhood doesn't present a monotonous picture.

In terms of atmosphere, it is quiet, almost villa-district-like by the water, but at the same time ordinary and accessible in the residential streets behind. The population composition confirms that picture: the largest age group is 65-plus, accounting for over 250 of the 720 residents. Single-person households are the most common, with 230 units. That makes Maaswaard not the most family-intensive neighbourhood, but it is a place where it is quiet and orderly.

For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Within walking distance there are supermarkets towards the centre of Venlo-Zuid, and Venlo city centre can be reached by bike in about ten minutes. Venlo station is about two kilometres away, accessible by bike or bus. Via the N271 and the nearby junction with the A73, Maaswaard is easily accessible by car, both towards Nijmegen and towards Roermond. Germany is also nearby: Venlo directly borders North Rhine-Westphalia, which is a plus for cross-border commuters.

There is plenty of green space: the Maas riverbank itself is the biggest asset, with walking and cycling paths along the water. If you love the outdoors, you'll live well here. Sports clubs and primary schools can be found in the adjacent neighbourhoods of Venlo-Zuid. Compared to neighbourhoods like Hagerhof-Oost or Sinselveld, Maaswaard is greener and quieter, but also more expensive and with less supply. Hagerbroek offers as an alternative slightly more affordable starter homes within the same district.

Residents particularly appreciate the location by the water and the tranquillity. On the neighbourhood page of Maaswaard you can read all the reviews, but a recurring sentiment is: "You live here just outside the hustle and bustle of the city, yet everything is close by. The Maas as your back garden, that's something." Criticisms sometimes concern parking in the narrow residential streets and the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood itself.
