End-of-terrace houses for sale in Almelo
End-of-terrace houses in Almelo are in demand: more garden, more light, but also more competition. Here's what you need to know before making an offer.
Almelo: a city where corner houses change hands quickly
Almelo has a housing market that feels different from the big cities. The supply is varied, the neighbourhoods have recognisable characters, and corner houses are regularly offered in post-war expansion areas and newer districts on the edge of the city. Yet the same applies here: a good corner house rarely stays online for long. Those who search actively have an advantage.

What makes a corner house in Almelo different from a terraced house?
A corner house has an external wall on two sides, which offers practical advantages: more light, a side entrance to the garden, and often a bit more privacy. But there are also points of attention that buyers underestimate.
- More facade, more maintenance. Two external walls mean more painting work, more risk of damp problems, and higher heating costs if the insulation is not up to standard. Always ask about the condition of the cavity wall and the exterior during the viewing.
- Boundaries are sometimes unclear. With corner houses, the plot often borders public green space or a path. Have the cadastral boundary checked before you make an offer. Sometimes there is municipal land that has been used as a private garden for years without the owner knowing.
- Energy label carries more weight. Due to the larger facade surface area, a poorly insulated corner house has a significantly higher energy bill. A label C or lower in an older neighbourhood is no reason to drop out, but do factor the costs of sustainability improvements into your offer.
- Parking on own land is more often possible. Corner houses in Almelo frequently have a driveway or space for a garage on the side. This is a concrete advantage in neighbourhoods like Windmolenbroek or Sluitersveld.
- Submit a viewing request quickly. Corner houses attract more visitors than terraced houses in the same segment. Respond within 24 hours of publication if you are serious.
- Use the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. As soon as a new corner house in Almelo comes online, you will receive an immediate notification. The app is free to download via the App Store and Google Play.
- Check the HOA situation. Not all corner houses are free of HOA obligations. In terraced houses with a shared roof or communal facilities, an active HOA may exist with associated costs.
What does a corner house in Almelo cost?
Almelo is in the mid-range segment of the Dutch housing market. Buying corner houses in Almelo is therefore more accessible than in the Randstad, but it is no longer cheap either. The exact prices vary per neighbourhood, year of construction, and state of maintenance. See the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices.
Factors that push the price up: a recently renovated kitchen or bathroom, a spacious side plot, an energy label A or B, and a location in a neighbourhood with high resident satisfaction. Factors that push the price down: deferred maintenance on the facade, an outdated roof, or a location on a busy road.
Banks look strictly at financing for homes under 40 m². Corner houses in Almelo almost never fall below that, but it is good to know this if you are also looking at other types of homes.

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house cost in Almelo?
Almelo is in the mid-range segment of the Dutch housing market. Corner houses are generally slightly more expensive than comparable terraced houses due to the extra side plot and better light exposure. The current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page. Factors such as energy label, construction year and neighbourhood strongly determine the final price level.
How can I quickly find a new corner house for sale in Almelo?
Corner houses in Almelo sell quickly. The free Buurtje.nl app sends you a push notification as soon as a new property becomes available that matches your search criteria. The app is free to download from the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), so you never miss a new listing.
What legal aspects should I consider with a corner house?
Always check the cadastral boundary. With corner houses, the plot often borders public green space or a municipal path, and it sometimes happens that a piece of land has been used as a private garden for years without this being legally correct. Also ask about any HOA obligations and check whether there are easements on the plot, such as a right of way.
Which neighbourhoods in Almelo are most sought after for corner houses?
Schelfhorst scores highest with a resident rating of 9.5/10 and is popular with families. Noorderkwartier (8.9/10) and Hofkamp (8.8/10) follow. Sluitersveld (8.7/10) and Windmolenbroek (8.5/10) often offer a slightly wider range, also in the more affordable segment. Check the neighbourhood pages for more details on atmosphere and amenities.
Is parking an advantage with a corner house in Almelo?
Often yes. Corner houses in Almelo frequently have a side strip or driveway where a car can be parked, sometimes with space for a garage. In neighbourhoods where on-street parking pressure is higher, such as closer to the city centre, this is a concrete practical advantage that also positively influences the value of the property.
only a shame that the houses have a lot of mould because they are old houses, witvoetstraat and gravenstraat were built in the same year as merelstraat but only merelstraat was not rebuilt..

Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood to live in. Nice and quiet, public transport within walking distance, safe cycle paths, and a shopping centre a bike ride away. We live 5 minutes from a park with lots of playground equipment and walking paths. And if you like fishing, you can do that too. We have squirrels in the garden, lots of birds.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine living here..except for one neighbour and the municipality that does nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a quiet working-class neighbourhood with easily accessible amenities. Shops are within walking distance and you could also walk to the city centre. In addition, it is nice that there is a medical centre with GPs, pharmacy, physiotherapy and more. Schools are also nearby and there is enough play space for children. It is pleasant to live here.
