Semi-detached houses for sale in Aalsmeer
Semi-detached houses in Aalsmeer are scarce and sell quickly. Check the current supply and discover which neighbourhoods best suit your wishes.




Aalsmeer: water, flowers and a limited supply of semi-detached houses
Aalsmeer is not a big city, but it does attract buyers who make a conscious choice: for the proximity to Schiphol, the polder strips along the water and the village atmosphere less than half an hour from Amsterdam. This makes the supply of semi-detached houses scarce and competition fierce. Anyone wanting to buy a semi-detached house here would do well to understand the market thoroughly before scheduling a viewing.
The current supply and most recent figures can be found in the overview of all homes for sale in Aalsmeer at the top of this page.
What you need to know before responding
Buying a semi-detached house in Aalsmeer requires preparation that goes beyond that for a standard terraced house. Keep the following in mind:
- Shared foundation and walls. With a semi-detached house, you share the cavity wall and sometimes the foundation with the neighbour. Have a structural survey carried out that specifically addresses this. Defects in the shared structure can incur costs that you cannot resolve alone.
- Easements and joint ownership. Check the deed for agreements about the shared roof, the party wall or the use of the driveway. Older homes in Aalsmeer sometimes have outdated or unclear easements.
- Ask about the HOA status. Formally, there is no mandatory homeowners' association (HOA) for a semi-detached house, but some homes still have an arrangement for joint maintenance. Know what you are signing.
- Financing for small floor areas. Banks scrutinise homes under 40 m². Semi-detached houses in Aalsmeer rarely fall below that, but always check the living area in the appraisal report.
- Respond quickly, but not hastily. Supply in Aalsmeer is limited. Homes sell fast, but making an offer without a financing contingency is only wise if your mortgage is already fully arranged.
- Set up notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new semi-detached house in Aalsmeer comes online. This way you respond earlier than buyers who only search manually. Download from the App Store or Google Play.
- Parking. In some parts of Aalsmeer, off-street parking is a serious advantage. Check whether the driveway or garage belongs to the house and what the parking rules are on the street.
Price level: expensive segment, little room for negotiation
Semi-detached houses in Aalsmeer fall into the higher segment of the local housing market. This has several causes: the location near Schiphol and Amsterdam, limited new construction and popularity among families seeking more space without moving into the city.
Factors influencing the price:
- Location on or near the water (Aalsmeer has a lot of polder water)
- Presence of a garage or driveway
- Condition of the cavity wall insulation and the roof (shared costs are a factor)
- Year of construction: homes from the 1970s-80s sometimes require more maintenance but are on larger plots
- Distance to the N201 and the motorway connection

Neighbourhoods to watch
Aalsmeer is small, but the neighbourhoods differ noticeably in character. Below are the three neighbourhoods with their resident scores:
- Wijk 02 Oosteinde (8.6/10): the best-rated neighbourhood in Aalsmeer. Quiet, green and relatively many detached and semi-detached homes. Buyers looking here know what they want and need to be able to act quickly.
- Wijk 00 Aalsmeer (7.2/10): the centre and immediate surroundings. More mixed supply, including semi-detached houses, with shorter walking distances to shops and the harbour.
- Wijk 01 Kudelstraat en Kalslagen (4.8/10): lower resident score. More rural area, fewer amenities. May appeal to buyers who prioritise peace and space over accessibility, but the score warrants further research into liveability and amenities.

Since the completion of the neighbourhood in 2004, there has been a clear decline and impoverishment. Liveability is structurally under pressure. Assessment: The neighbourhood scores insufficient on the following aspects: Safety, Community spirit, Hygiene, Education / upbringing climate, Green spaces, Facilities, Accessibility. Explanation per aspect: Safety: Parking and driving on pavements and footpaths. Unsafe situations for pedestrians and playing children. Nuisance from hanging groups and fatbike groups, especially in the evenings. Insufficient visible enforcement. Community: High turnover in apartments, little connection to the neighbourhood. Hardly any social cohesion or mutual accountability culture. Little involvement in the living environment. Hygiene: Structural dog poop on grass fields; the clean-up duty is not observed. Lots of litter, including sweet and crisp wrappers, also in private gardens. Insufficient cleaning and maintenance by the municipality. Education / upbringing climate: Children play outside without supervision. Norms and values regarding waste, respect for others' property and public space are visibly lacking. Negative role model for younger children. Green: Poorly maintained green spaces. Grass fields polluted and therefore not usable for recreation. Unattractive and unkempt street scene. Facilities: Insufficient parking facilities, partly due to company vans. No clear facilities to combat nuisance (such as extra bins or supervised play areas). Accessibility: Pavements and footpaths often blocked by parked vehicles. Poor accessibility for the elderly, prams and people with disabilities. What could be improved: Active and visible enforcement of parking, dog poop and nuisance. Tackling long-term parked company vans. Improvement of municipal maintenance of green and public space. Placement of extra bins and targeted cleaning actions. Structural deployment of neighbourhood police and enforcement officers, especially in the evenings. Measures to strengthen social cohesion and encourage residents to take more responsibility. Clear communication about norms, rules and consequences.

Auto-translated to English by AIToo few contacts, everyone is on their own because there are too many cultural people. We have lived here for 42 years in a large house with 4 rooms and a very large attic. We would like to live smaller, but then you are punished with a much higher rent.
Auto-translated to English by AINice house Lots of green Shopping centre nearby Public transport accessibility could be better Not safe due to nuisance from youths, who learn their behaviour from their parents. Disrespectful, selfish. No sense of community. Hygiene: shit everywhere on the grass field is not cleaned up, youths just throw packaging into gardens.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 17 years now, everyone moved here at the same time, we can count on each other when something happens, we're there for each other, it feels like a family. Over the years it has changed a bit due to people moving, but it is and remains a nice place. Space for children to play, school nearby within walking distance, a Catholic, public and Christian school.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood started off quite well. New houses, new residents. However, after a number of residents moved away and were replaced by the next residents, it has deteriorated a lot. Besides a huge increase in nuisance from night flights from Schiphol, the mutual social behaviour has dropped to zero. It is a neighbourhood with many children who find the antisocial behaviour of their parents so normal that they don't know any better and copy their parents' behaviour. In recent years, there has been a lot of nuisance and vandalism by whole groups of terrorising children. These children are getting older and are now starting to show different behaviour or moving away. Addressing people and talking about it is not accepted. And bullying is a daily occurrence, especially if you keep your distance from these people. Because you already know that talking and addressing them backfires. Because if you don't join in or show the same antisocial behaviour, you are treated like a pariah. In Kudelstaart there is supervision by a neighbourhood police officer, and after the shooting you see more police and enforcement. However, if you contact the neighbourhood officer or ask the police for help, you can forget about it. We have plenty of beautiful nature and greenery in and around the neighbourhood. Education could be better. There is childcare, primary school education (the level is not great) and there is a VMBO (which also has a not-so-good reputation). However, for children who go to havo or vwo, you have to look further. Accessibility by public transport is very poor. There is a bus station in Aalsmeer that the bus from Kudelstaart goes to. However, the bus does not connect at all with the other buses. It would be nice if at least one bus every quarter or half hour went directly to the nearest train station (e.g. Hoofddorp) without having to transfer. Maybe the tram from Uithoorn could be extended to Kudelstaart. Facilities are sufficient but could also be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with the Westeinderplas around the corner. Beautiful nature. And peace. Little nuisance from aircraft. Green and trees at your doorstep. Safe traffic situation. Child and dog friendly. Aalsmeer has a nice centre. Lots to do. Always on the move. Water sports and many activities to do. Sports and games. Bus station present.
Auto-translated to English by AIReasonably neat neighbourhood. Unfortunately, there is nuisance from screaming neighbours, drunk neighbours, antisocial behaviour towards neighbours who distance themselves from it. So if you don't belong or don't want to belong, you'd better brace yourself. Little empathy and understanding. A lot of nuisance from vandalism of cars and personal belongings. In addition, there are regularly groups of young people who terrorise the neighbourhood by "ring and run", and if you don't respond, they then bang on the windows. Furthermore, windows are smeared with eggs and yoghurt. The neighbourhood police officer is very hard to find, the police do nothing, confronting the neighbours backfires.
