Maurik

A Betuwe village through and through, Maurik is built almost entirely of family houses — 91 percent — with a third of households raising children and little in the way of flats. Safety scores an emphatic 9.0, helped by eighteen recorded crimes per thousand people present against a median of 24. The nearest railway station lies almost ten kilometres away, which keeps the amenities mark down to 5.7. At €403,000, homes sit just under the national middle.
