About Franquinetstraat 2, Maastricht
Yes, it's very keen. The average room in the neighbourhood goes for €503, and the average rental property here is €1,067. At 307 m², you're getting far more space than the typical 77 m², so the price per m² is extremely low.
The energy label is A+, which is excellent. You can expect low heating costs and a well-insulated home. This is much better than the average for the area, where many properties have older labels.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, so about a 35-minute walk or a short bus ride. Maastricht's main station connects to intercity services.
Brusselsepoort recorded 242 total crimes in the latest data, which for a dense urban area with 5,630 residents is moderate. The area is popular with students and young professionals.
Basisschool St Oda is 127 m away, Basisschool Sint Aloysius is 614 m, and Bonnefanten College (secondary) is 813 m. There are also several special education schools within walking distance.
The listing is for a 'kamer' (room), but at 307 m² it's essentially a large studio or small apartment. It's not a social housing corporation property, so it's open to all tenants, not just students.

How residents experience their district
everything perfect lovely people and many amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIBorn here, many homes are poor, damp and drafty and too expensive
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little greenery, few amenities, and the houses are extremely poorly insulated.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety has improved slightly in recent years. 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.

Auto-translated to English by AIOften bothered by drug deals, too many students, more maintenance of green spaces and parks needed
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a few people live here, but it's still nice and quiet. There's a lot of nature and a lot of land, so plenty of space. Children can play safely on the street, nice walks with the dog.

Auto-translated to English by AII have beautiful and less beautiful experiences. Too many outsiders are placed, sorry but it doesn't give a safe feeling. The little park is nice and pleasant for walking, but it's also an escape route. Install more cameras.
