Meerssen is a neighbourhood of contrasts, as two residents describe. One says: "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." Another adds: "Meerssen 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. There are mainly many elderly people, but also streets with young children, and some loitering youths." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.44 out of 10. The area has a moderate urbanity level, with around 920 addresses per km². For more on the area, see municipality Meerssen.
For your daily shopping, Lidl is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets a short drive away. Basisschool De WereldSter is a couple of streets away, and Stella Maris College is also within walking distance for secondary education. A train station is a five-minute walk, and there are bus stops nearby. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden just around the corner, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.

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 Kookstraat 21, Meerssen
The asking price of €549,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €422,000, but the house is also much larger than average (303 m² vs 191 m²). The average price per m² in the area is €3,170, so the price per m² here works out to about €1,812, which is actually below that average. So while the total price is high, you get a lot of space for your money.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most homes (58.6%) have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Residents give mixed reviews on safety. One notes that social safety varies greatly from street to street, with drug labs busted in some streets while others have large villas. Another mentions crime has reduced social safety. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 255, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
