Mariaberg is a cosy, old-fashioned working-class neighbourhood, according to two residents. One resident says: "Cosy old-fashioned working-class neighbourhood with an Albert Heijn nearby and a small shopping centre 1.5 km away. Friendly neighbourhood with high social control and safe for children thanks to the small streets and little traffic." Another resident notes: "People who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house, and I mean really pressing their face against the window to peep. For 'fun', young people have tried to kick my door in, which I think is going too far. Furthermore, there are curious, quiet, and friendly elderly people in the neighbourhood. Every kid here has a fatbike, of course. Lack of parking. Jumbo, Action, and Trekpleister in the area, plus a decent-sized shopping centre nearby. Generally, people are polite if you greet them. Rubbish could be collected more often, but that might be a Maastricht thing." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households, and the streets are small with little traffic, which residents appreciate for safety.
