About Sint Jacobstraat 21B, Maastricht
The asking price is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €653,806, but that average includes much larger homes (average 113 m²). Per square metre, the price works out to about €8,475, which is above the neighbourhood average of €6,617/m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
The home has energy label D. That's a middling score: heating and electricity costs will be moderate but not as low as a modern A-rated home. In the neighbourhood, 31.6% of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area's older housing stock.
Very busy. The address density is 4,813 per km², which is extremely high. The area is dominated by students and young adults, with many bars, restaurants, and shops. If you value peace and quiet, this might not be the place, but if you want everything on your doorstep, it's ideal.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The city centre is very walkable, so many errands can be done on foot.
At 40 m², it's compact. The neighbourhood is mostly single-person households (82% of households), so it's geared towards individuals. A couple could manage, but space would be tight.
The Binnenstad has 1,232 total offences recorded, which is high for a neighbourhood of 2,330 residents. This is typical for a busy city centre with nightlife and tourism. You can expect some noise and occasional incidents, but many residents enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
