End-of-terrace houses for sale in Amstelveen

Amstelveen has a remarkably quiet street layout for a municipality so close to Amsterdam. Many neighbourhoods were systematically developed after the war, with wide avenues and spacious corner plots. This makes corner houses here architecturally recognisable: larger side gardens, more windows on the ground floor, and often a driveway or carport on the side. But it is precisely these features that attract many interested parties at once, in a market that has been tight for years.

What you can expect from the supply of corner houses in Amstelveen

Corner houses in Amstelveen are in the higher purchase segment of the municipality. The supply is limited and the turnaround time is short. Houses regularly sell above the asking price, especially in sought-after neighbourhoods with good accessibility or proximity to the Amsterdamse Bos.

The type of buyer is broad: families looking for space, people returning from Amsterdam wanting a garden, and dual-income earners who appreciate the A9 corridor. This makes competition at viewings high. Current numbers and price developments can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Points to consider when buying a corner house

A corner house has specific characteristics that buyers should pay attention to. Not all of them are equally visible during a first viewing.

• Property boundary and side path: Check whether the side path of the house belongs to the cadastral boundary or whether there is an easement. In older Amstelveen neighbourhoods, this is not always clear from the sales brochure.
• Facade maintenance: Corner houses have more exterior surface area than terraced houses. This means more facade, more painting work, and potentially higher maintenance costs. Ask about the condition of the cavity walls on the side facade.
• Insulation of the side wall: A detached side wall loses more heat. Check the energy label class and ask about any cavity wall insulation. This directly affects your energy costs.
• Permit history of the side extension: Many corner houses have an extension or annex on the side. Check whether it was built with a permit. This is a common point in appraisals and mortgage lending.
• Response speed: Corner houses in Amstelveen rarely stay online for long. Set alerts so you can respond immediately. Use the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications as soon as new supply appears. The app is available via the App Store and Google Play, and is completely free.
• Parking on own land: A driveway or carport is more common with corner houses than with terraced houses. Check whether it formally belongs to the plot and whether there is no municipal claim on the strip.
• Financing for small surface area: Banks apply stricter standards for homes under 40 m². Corner houses in Amstelveen rarely fall below this, but check this for compact 1960s homes in older neighbourhoods.

What determines the price of a corner house in Amstelveen

Amstelveen is in the more expensive segment in the region. Corner houses generally command a premium compared to similar terraced houses, due to the larger plot and extra outdoor space.

Factors that drive the price up:

• Location relative to the Amsterdamse Bos or the Stadshart zone
• Presence of a driveway or garage
• Energy label A or B (increasingly weighted by buyers)
• Neighbourhood with high resident score
• Recent kitchen or bathroom renovation

Neighbourhoods where corner houses are most in demand

Not every neighbourhood in Amstelveen has as many corner houses or the same demand pressure. Below is an overview of neighbourhoods with a strong reputation among buyers, including resident score.

• Bovenkerk - Westwijk Noord (8.8/10): Quiet, green and family-oriented. Spacious plots, many detached houses and corner houses from the 1970s and 1980s. High score due to social cohesion and low traffic pressure.
• Groenelaan (8.3/10): Centrally located with good public transport connections. Mixed supply of apartments and ground-level homes, corner houses are popular here due to proximity to shops.

• Bankras, Kostverloren (8.0/10): Quiet neighbourhood with sports facilities nearby. Corner houses are relatively affordable here compared to Elsrijk, without sacrificing much in terms of living quality.

Also look outside Amstelveen

If the supply in Amstelveen is too limited or prices are out of reach, it is worthwhile to broaden your search. Corner houses in Zaanstad offer an alternative for those willing to live a bit further from Amsterdam. Travel times are acceptable and the supply is generally more abundant.
