The Maastricht Region can be seen as a region with a green hill-country (Heuvelland) in the center surrounded by the urban areas of Maastricht (West), Sittard/Geleen (North), Parkstad (East) and Liege/Aachen (South).

The area is vibrant, ambitious but relaxed, with the lively city of Maastricht, the no-nonsense mentality of Heerlen and the workers ethics of Sittard/Geleen. In the Maastricht Region your choices in finding your new home are truly wide-open. As traffic jams are practically unheard of and both the cities and villages are safe and laid-back, the choice is entirely up to you (and your family). Do you prefer the inner city bustle, the suburban towns balancing urban culture with green space, the quaint quietness of the villages or the privacy of a rural property? Wherever your job takes you and your family these are all options within commuting distance of work. As one executive's wife put it: 'this is the first posting where we have been able to enjoy breakfast with the entire family'.

Finding your home in the Maastricht Region

In general houses in the Netherlands tend to be regarded as compact with small gardens due to the fact that it is a densely populated country. However, as space is more abundant in Limburg, the housing market covers the full spectrum of possibilities: contemporary city centre apartments, suburban homes, ancient mansions, houses with access at ground level, converted farmhouses, open plots of land, and a wide range of rental properties. Home owners get excellent value for money. And the choice is yours when deciding between the spacious outdoor location or the bustling inner-city spot.
