About Keizer Karelplein 12C, Maastricht
The asking price of €274,000 is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €653,806, but the studio is also much smaller than average (32 m² vs 113 m²). The price per m² works out to about €8,563, which is above the neighbourhood average of €6,617 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range rating, the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect moderate heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 31.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The Binnenstad is dominated by young people: over half the residents are between 15 and 25, and most households are single-person. It's a very urban area with a high density of shops, restaurants and nightlife. If you enjoy being in the thick of things, this is a great spot.
Albert Heijn is just 172 m away, so you can pop out for groceries in a minute. Jumbo is 523 m (a five-minute walk), and there are also SPAR, Aldi and Coop within about 700 m. You won't have to go far for daily shopping.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for trips out of the city, though you'll likely walk or cycle for most local journeys.
With a price well below the neighbourhood average and a central location, it could appeal to investors looking for a small unit in a high-demand area. However, the small size (32 m²) may limit the pool of potential buyers or tenants. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of rental properties (86% are not owner-occupied), so there is a rental market.
