Apeldoorn and the terraced house: what you do differently here than elsewhere
Apeldoorn is not a city where you can get in with a half-hearted bid. The housing market is balanced compared to major cities like Amsterdam or Utrecht, but that doesn't mean it's quiet. Terraced houses in particular, the backbone of Apeldoorn neighbourhoods like Noord and Zuid, are snapped up quickly. They are popular with families, first-time buyers moving up, and people moving from the Randstad who can afford a garden for the first time.
The supply is constantly changing. You can see how many are currently available in the overview of all homes for sale in Apeldoorn.
What determines the price of a terraced house here?
Terraced houses in Apeldoorn are in the upper mid-range. That's not cheap, but for what you get, it's more reasonable than in the big cities. Price differences depend on a handful of factors:
- Location in the city. Neighbourhoods close to the centre or with good public transport connections command higher prices.
- Year of construction and state of maintenance. Pre-war terraced houses with original details score highly with buyers who want character, but sometimes require extra investment in insulation or installations.
- Plot depth and garden orientation. A south-facing garden can make the difference between two similar houses on the same street.
- Energy label. Banks and buyers increasingly factor in energy costs. A poor label reduces your borrowing capacity.
- Extension possibilities. Some Apeldoorn neighbourhoods have more flexible zoning plans than others. Always check this with the municipality or a local estate agent.

Five neighbourhoods worth looking at
Apeldoorn has extensive residential areas with a strong character of their own. Based on resident experiences, these stand out for anyone looking for a terraced house:
- Uddel en omgeving (9.3/10) — Rural, green, quiet. More village than city, but still Apeldoorn. For those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle.
- Noord (8.5/10) — Family neighbourhoods with spacious plots, good schools nearby and a strong community spirit.
- Zuid (8.4/10) — Popular with movers. Many 1950s and 1960s terraced houses, generally well-maintained.
- Oost (8.3/10) — Quiet, green and close to the Apeldoorns Kanaal. Less competition than in Noord or Zuid, but similar quality.
- Wenum Wiesel Beemte (8.3/10) — Outskirts of Apeldoorn. Terraced houses are rarer here, but when something becomes available, the atmosphere is unique.

Practical tips for buying a terraced house in Apeldoorn
- Set up an alert before you actively start searching. Set notifications via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as new listings appear that match your criteria. In a market where homes sell quickly, every minute counts.
- Have a structural survey done, even on newer homes. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours. Damp problems or subsidence on one side can affect your home. A survey costs a few hundred euros and prevents surprises.
- Check the HOA situation. Some Apeldoorn terraced houses fall under a Homeowners' Association (VvE), for example in split properties or new-build complexes. Ask about the reserve fund and the long-term maintenance plan.
- Ask about easements. Neighbours may sometimes use your driveway or there may be a right of way across your back garden. This is stated in the purchase agreement, but is not always clearly visible.
- Calculate your borrowing capacity realistically. Banks look closely at the energy label and the WOZ value for terraced houses. A home with label E or lower can limit your borrowing capacity, even if the asking price fits on paper.
- Be prepared for bids above the asking price. In sought-after neighbourhoods like Noord and Zuid, overbidding is common. Determine your maximum in advance and stick to it.
- Engage a local buying agent. Apeldoorn estate agents know the neighbourhoods inside out. They know which streets are rising quickly and where there is still room to negotiate.

Very calm environment with very friendly people
Auto-translated to English by AIA simple neighbourhood but nowadays everything is being crammed into vacant houses. Families that mess up the front and back gardens. This has been reported several times but the housing association thinks it's fine and doesn't consider the neighbours. A school with a lot of traffic nuisance and dog owners who walk their dogs on a children's playground without cleaning up. There is also dealing on the school grounds in the dark evenings and it takes a while before the police or enforcement arrive.

Auto-translated to English by AIused to be a fine area but for a few years now the living pleasure and safety in the neighbourhood have been declining a lot. drug dealing in the evening with a lot of noise and parking nuisance
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 55 years now, but it's not getting any nicer. In the beginning it was good living. I live alone now; both my parents died here. I was allowed to stay, but now I live among very different kinds of people. I would like to leave, but the housing association sets so many requirements that I'll probably end up staying.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone does their best in this beautiful neighbourhood, just like the shopping centre de Eglantier around the corner. I have lived in de Warenargaarde for more than 20 years and am very satisfied, peace and hope that we may have it for a long time together with our neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIA beautiful quiet area with lots of nature nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AII have only had bad experiences with the neighbourhood. And it is very unsafe because of drug addicts. And the municipality does nothing except point fingers at each other. The community is also nothing, we have very little greenery. Only accessible by car. And furthermore no public transport nearby and no shops in the area.
