Mariaberg
Mariaberg is a cosy, old-fashioned working-class neighbourhood, according to two residents who have shared their experiences. 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." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many single-person households and a strong sense of community. It's a place where people greet each other, and the small streets keep traffic light. To learn more about the area, see [the Mariaberg neighbourhood]( /buurt/mariaberg-maastricht/ ).

Experiences from Mariaberg
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

However, there is still nuisance, especially from September onwards, from illegal heavy fireworks Category 4/5 in the evening hours. At New Year's Eve, we ourselves call it a war zone here, you can no longer go outside safely and that for 48 hours. With dogs, it's a lot of stress for us. Something should be done about this, you have to flee your home, living enjoyment is legally required.
