A compact studio in Maastricht's Mariaberg
This studio on Proosdijweg sits in a lively, old-fashioned working-class neighbourhood where life spills onto the street. At 43 m² it was compact, but the price, €185,000, was keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because studios in Maastricht tend to be smaller and more affordable. The home dates from 1940 and has energy label C, so it's reasonably efficient without being top-tier. This home has not been online since 4 August 2026.
Mariaberg: a neighbourhood with character
Mariaberg is a dense, urban area with a mix of ages and a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as "cosy" and notes the high social control and safety for children thanks to small streets and little traffic. Another says: "People who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house." The same review mentions occasional nuisance from young people trying to kick doors in, but also friendly elderly neighbours. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.62 out of 10. Most homes are pre-war, and the area has a high proportion of single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Mariaberg.
