About Cortenstraat 9A, Maastricht
The asking price is 143% above the neighbourhood average of €720,533 and the highest of the 15 homes currently for sale in Jekerkwartier. The floor area of 71 m² is 54% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 155 m², so the price is driven by the location and the historic building rather than square metres. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the central, monumental setting.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 27.3% of homes have label C and 72.7% have a lower label (D or below). Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home.
Jekerkwartier is very central, with a supermarket (Coop) just around the corner and several others within a five-minute walk. Restaurants are on your doorstep, and a park is a couple of streets away.
