Buitenwijk West

Buitenwijk West covers Maastricht's post-war belt, ten neighbourhoods and 36,000 residents taking in Malberg, Daalhof and Mariaberg. Amenities score 8.2, since the old centre is never far, and safety meets the national average at 5.0. Housing (3.4) and social life (3.6) fall well short, though, and the overall gets no higher than 3.5. A mixed urban edge where housing quality is the weakest link.
