Terraced houses for rent in Arnhem

Arnhem and terraced houses: what you can expect

Arnhem is not a city where you have plenty of choice. The housing market is balanced between renting and buying, but that doesn't mean there's much to choose from. Terraced houses are a popular type in Arnhem: ground-floor, with a garden, often a garage or driveway, and usually located in quiet residential areas outside the city centre. This attracts a wide audience, from young families to people moving up from an apartment.

The supply is mainly in the upper middle segment. Anyone looking to rent a terraced house in Arnhem will face limited supply and quick response times. Properties are rarely listed for long. Current numbers and prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

What you need to know as a tenant about terraced houses

Renting a terraced house is simple on paper, but in practice there are a few specific issues to consider. The points below will help you avoid mistakes.

• Shared walls, shared responsibility. With a terraced house, you have neighbours on both sides. Sound insulation varies greatly by construction period. Houses from the 1950s-1970s are often less well insulated than new builds. Ask about this explicitly, or check during a viewing.
• Garden and property boundaries. Is the garden part of the rental contract? If so, who is responsible for maintenance? Check that the property boundaries are clearly defined, especially if a fence or hedge is missing.
• Energy label. Landlords are required to provide an energy label. With older terraced houses in Arnhem, you may get a label D or lower. This directly translates into higher heating costs.
• Service costs and what is and isn't included. Check whether the rent is basic rent or includes service costs. Service costs are less common for terraced houses than for apartments, but they do occur, especially in HOA complexes.
• Registration time and income requirements. Social housing sometimes requires years of registration. For free-sector terraced houses, an income requirement of three to four times the monthly rent usually applies. Make sure you have your payslips and employer's statement ready.
• Respond quickly, but carefully. Terraced houses in Arnhem are rented out quickly. Don't put off your viewing request. Use the free Buurtje.nl app (App Store) or download it via Google Play to receive a push notification as soon as a new property becomes available. The app is free and saves you from manual searching every day.
• Parking. Many neighbourhoods in Arnhem have paid parking or permit zones. Check whether the property has a driveway or garage, and if not, what the parking rules are on the street.

What determines the rent of a terraced house in Arnhem?

Terraced houses in Arnhem generally fall into the upper middle segment of the rental market. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, ground-floor living in a large city is structurally scarcer than apartments. Secondly, Arnhem, as a regional centre, attracts tenants from a wide area, increasing pressure on supply.

Factors influencing the rent of a specific terraced house:

• Location in the neighbourhood (proximity to city centre, station, motorway)
• Year of construction and state of maintenance
• Energy label (a good label justifies a higher asking price)
• Presence of a garage, driveway or storage
• Garden orientation (sun, privacy, size)
