Brusselsepoort, Maastricht
NeighbourhoodThis is a room, but not as you know it. At 307 m², it's more like a small house, and it's in a stately 1930s building on Franquinetstraat in Maastricht. The rent of €664 is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €1,067, which is remarkably keen given the size. For context, rooms in Maastricht typically go for around €503, so this one stands out.
Brusselsepoort is a lively, dense neighbourhood, 3,411 addresses per km², with a young population: over a third are between 15 and 25. Many live alone (2,845 one-person households), and the area has a strong student vibe. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures paint a picture of a dynamic, urban pocket. The neighbourhood Brusselsepoort is well connected and has a mix of pre-war and modern housing.
Your morning bread run is to Aldi, just around the corner. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is a five-minute walk and AH XL is a couple of streets away. Basisschool St Oda is on your doorstep, and Bonnefanten College (secondary) is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Maastricht has plenty of restaurants and a park within a few minutes' walk.
