Buitenwijk Oost

Buitenwijk Oost bundles Maastricht's eastern neighbourhoods, from village-like Amby and Scharn to urban Wittevrouwenveld, seven neighbourhoods and just over 32,000 residents. Amenities score 9.0, with the old centre around the corner. Yet housing (3.8), safety (4.3) and social life (5.0) weigh on the balance, and the overall gets no further than 4.7. A district of extremes, where prosperous fringes border post-war disadvantage.
