Terraced houses for sale in Amersfoort
Terraced houses in Amersfoort are scarce and sell quickly. Here you will find the current supply, neighbourhood information and practical tips for your search.
Amersfoort has few terraced houses on offer, and everyone notices
Amersfoort has grown rapidly in recent decades, but the housing supply has not kept pace. Terraced houses are the most sought-after type in this city: they offer more space than an apartment, cost less than a detached house, and are found in almost every neighbourhood. This makes them popular among starters with equity, movers, and families. The result is a tight market where homes sell quickly and bidding above the asking price is the norm.

What you need to know if you want to buy a terraced house in Amersfoort
Terraced houses in Amersfoort fall into the upper mid-range segment. This means your financing must be in order before you view, not after. A few things specific to this type and market:
- Respond within hours, not days. Popular terraced houses are sometimes online for less than 48 hours. Make sure your search has active alerts.
- Install the Buurtje.nl app on your phone. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new terraced house matching your criteria becomes available. Available in the App Store and on Google Play.
- Have a mortgage offer ready. Sellers in Amersfoort often choose buyers without a financing contingency. Discuss this in advance with your advisor.
- Check the HOA status for corner houses and terraced houses with a shared roof. Not all terraced houses fall under an HOA, but if there is one, ask for the annual statement and reserve fund.
- Watch out for ground lease. In Amersfoort, ground lease is less common than in Amsterdam, but in some new-build neighbourhoods (including parts of Vathorst), special land arrangements may apply. Check this with the selling agent.
- Construction year partly determines your costs. Terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s often still have energy label D or lower. Sustainability improvements are not mandatory, but banks increasingly consider them when assessing your borrowing capacity.
- Schedule the viewing early in the week. Bids in Amersfoort often run until the weekend. Those who view on Thursday or Friday have a better chance of making a well-considered offer than those who still have to view on Saturday.

Frequently asked questions
What does a terraced house cost in Amersfoort?
Terraced houses in Amersfoort fall into the upper middle segment. Specific prices vary per neighbourhood, year of construction and condition of the property. Factors such as a favourable energy label, an extension or a private parking space drive up the price. Check the current overview at the top of this page for the most recent asking prices.
How can I quickly find a new terraced house for sale in Amersfoort?
Popular terraced houses are sometimes online for less than 48 hours. The free Buurtje.nl app sends a push notification as soon as a property becomes available that matches your search criteria. This way you are the first to know. Download the app for free via the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
What legal aspects should I consider for a terraced house in Amersfoort?
Check whether a Homeowners' Association (VvE) is active, even for properties that appear independent at first glance. This sometimes applies to shared roofs or joint driveways. In that case, request the annual accounts and reserve fund. Also check whether the property is on freehold land or whether a special ground lease arrangement applies, as may be the case in some parts of Vathorst.
Which neighbourhoods in Amersfoort are most popular for a terraced house?
Based on resident scores, Vathorst-De Laak (9.8/10), Rustenburg and Hoogland (both 9.5/10) score the highest. Vermeerkwartier (9.1/10) and Randenbroek (8.9/10) are also popular. The choice depends on your preference for new-build or a more established residential area.
Is parking a problem with terraced houses in Amersfoort?
This varies greatly per neighbourhood. In the post-war neighbourhoods around the city centre, parking pressure is high and a driveway or garage is a serious added value. In new-build neighbourhoods such as Vathorst, parking is generally better organised, sometimes with a designated spot at the property. Always ask about the parking situation on public roads in the evening during a viewing.
there is a lot of green in my neighbourhood, but there are also many old people
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of green. Close to the motorway, hospital, shops and schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, but there could be more playground equipment for the children. Better enforcement for the loitering youth.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful old trees, green neighbourhood in the district, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other. Good accessibility by bus, bike or car. Centrally located near the city centre and central station.

Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood, always quiet
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for three years now and I haven't experienced anything unpleasant or anything. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood is relatively far from shops, but I personally don't find it acceptable to constantly consume, so it's not a problem that shops are far away from my perspective. The neighbourhood is built on a small hill, which is why it's called the Bergkwartier. That's a disadvantage if you only have a bike, because it's quite a tough climb uphill. But 'every disadvantage has its advantage': cycling up the hill is good for your health... The neighbourhood doesn't have a neighbourhood watch. But all houses are well secured against burglary. I've never ended up in a bad situation at night. There is no loitering youth anywhere. I don't often read about burglaries in the neighbourhood, nor other crime. There is no community centre in this part of Amersfoort. There is a small restaurant here, about a hundred metres from my home. But I've never seen my neighbours there. So it's not a neighbourhood fathers' place, although it could have been. The neighbourhood consists of a mix of owner-occupied and (social) rental homes. But the majority are owner-occupied. Their condition is quite good. But people with a smaller budget also live here, and that's good because variety is good for social processes and life itself. The neighbourhood is easily accessible from other places in this city. I often walk in the forest; the forest is five hundred metres from my home, it's beautiful there, I find peace there, so I enjoy going there.
Auto-translated to English by AIRelatively quiet, great diversity of residents. Close to (almost) everything, and certainly easily accessible. The municipality takes good care of things, though sometimes it doesn't seem that way, but that's due to people from outside; it could have been worse. Here and there the pavements could do with repair, which "seems" to be going a bit slowly. Actually, not much to complain about. Lots of extra facilities for the elderly, help and entertainment, neighbourhoods also do a lot together. All in all, a lovely place to live here....
