About Sint Pieterstraat 40, Maastricht
The asking price of €995,000 is 51% above the average asking price in the Jekerkwartier (€658,308) and is the highest of the 13 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, this home is also 89% larger than the average (283 m² vs 150 m²), so the price per m² is roughly in line with the neighbourhood average of €4,597. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the historic character and central location.
Energy label D is in the middle of the scale. It means the home is not as efficient as modern standards, but it is not the worst either. In the Jekerkwartier, 61.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. Expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on usage and the specific installations.
The Jekerkwartier is very central, with a supermarket (Coop) just 167 m away and several others within a five-minute walk. Primary schools are within walking distance, and the city centre with its restaurants and shops is on your doorstep. The area is densely built and lively, with many students and young people.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
The house was built in 1733, so it is a historic property. The listing does not provide details about the condition of the roof, plumbing, wiring or other installations. A structural survey would be advisable to assess the actual state.
The plot size is 150 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, courtyard or terrace. Given the historic terraced house type, there may be a small courtyard, but this is not confirmed in the data.
With 283 m² of floor area, there is plenty of space, but the layout and number of rooms are not provided.

How residents experience their municipality
everything perfect lovely people and many amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIBorn here, many homes are poor, damp and drafty and too expensive
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople who don't know you will be curious; people have often peered into my house, and I mean really pressing their face against the window to peep. For "fun", young people have tried to kick my door in, which I think is going too far. Furthermore, there are curious, quiet, and friendly elderly people in the neighbourhood. Every kid here has a fatbike, of course. Lack of parking. Jumbo, Action, and Trekpleister in the area, plus a decent-sized shopping centre nearby. Generally, people are polite if you greet them. Rubbish could be collected more often, but that might be a Maastricht thing.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little greenery, few amenities, and the houses are extremely poorly insulated.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety has improved slightly in recent years. However, there is still nuisance, especially from September onwards, from illegal heavy fireworks Category 4/5 in the evening hours. At New Year's Eve, we ourselves call it a war zone here, you can no longer go outside safely and that for 48 hours. With dogs, it's a lot of stress for us. Something should be done about this, you have to flee your home, living enjoyment is legally required.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is little to do for young people
Auto-translated to English by AII have beautiful and less beautiful experiences. Too many outsiders are placed, sorry but it doesn't give a safe feeling. The little park is nice and pleasant for walking, but it's also an escape route. Install more cameras.
