In the neighbourhood there are many groups of residents living together, including foreigners but also Dutch families. Social safety can vary greatly from street to street. For example, drug labs have been busted in one street, while in another street there are large villas. So there is a big contrast. The people in the neighbourhood are very sociable and like to chat. There is sometimes litter on the street, but there are cleaning services. There is nothing in the neighbourhood, and in the surrounding area there are small parks. There is a secondary school and a primary school, as well as nursery and preschool care that are mainstream and generally rated well. There is a train station and several bus stops, including a neighbourhood bus.
Auto-translated to English by AIMeerssen is a nice neighbourhood where I have lived all my life. But in Meerssen itself there is also a lot of crime, which has reduced social safety. In Meerssen, more and more people with a non-Western background have come to live. In Meerssen, there are mainly many elderly people, but there are also streets where more households with young children live, and there are also some loitering youths on the streets. In my opinion, more attention could be paid to safety in Meerssen, and more things should be arranged for young people so that they do not just hang around on the streets and cause nuisance.

About Volderstraat 21, Meerssen
The asking price of €375,000 is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €502,483 for similar homes. Given the 208 m² floor area and the semi-detached type, the price per m² is about €1,803, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €3,170 per m². So it is priced keenly, though the energy label F means higher running costs.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 58.6% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should expect significant energy bills.
Residents report mixed feelings. One says social safety varies greatly from street to street, with drug labs in some streets and large villas in others. Another mentions crime has reduced social safety. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 255, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool De WereldSter at 682 m and Basisschool de Lindegaerd at 1.5 km. Stella Maris College, a secondary school, is just 403 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk or short cycle.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by rail convenient, though specific destinations are not listed.
Lidl is just 256 m away, so bread and groceries are on your doorstep. Jumbo is 1.7 km, a ten-minute walk. Albert Heijn and Jan Linders are a bit further, at 2.1 and 2.3 km respectively.
The plot is 207 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
