End-of-terrace houses for sale in Arnhem

Arnhem and corner houses: what you need to know beforehand

Arnhem is not a city where you can take your time. The housing market is balanced compared to the Randstad, but that doesn't mean corner houses are widely available here. This type of home attracts a broad group of buyers: families who want an extra side window or a larger garden, but also people who consciously choose more light and fewer neighbours on one side. The supply is spread across the city, from post-war terraced housing estates to villa neighbourhoods towards the Veluwe border.

Corner houses in Arnhem predominantly fall into the upper middle segment. This is due to the extra land, the freer position, and the popularity of the type. Current numbers and average asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Who is a corner house in Arnhem suitable for? Especially for buyers who want a bit more outdoor space without having to go for a detached house. And for those willing to pay a bit more for a corner location, with all its pros and cons.

What you notice when actively searching for a corner house

Corner houses are rarely sold quietly. They are on the market for a shorter time than mid-terrace houses and attract more viewing requests. A few practical points to keep sharp on:

• Respond quickly. Corner houses in sought-after Arnhem neighbourhoods are gone within a few days. Set up your search alert so you get notified immediately.
• Use the Buurtje.nl app (free). The app sends push notifications as soon as a new corner house listing appears in Arnhem. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
• Pay attention to the side wall. A corner house has an extra exterior wall. Always ask about the insulation value and check for damp problems, especially in older buildings.
• Check the property boundary. The extra land on the side is not always owned by the seller. Ask for the cadastral plot and compare it with the actual situation.
• Parking on own land. Many corner houses have space for a driveway. Check whether the municipality has granted a driveway permit or if one still needs to be applied for.
• HOA or no HOA. For apartments with a corner location, an HOA contribution always applies. For ground-based corner houses, this is rarer, but still check for new-build projects.
• Ask about wind load. Corner houses are more exposed to wind. That sounds abstract, but it affects heating costs and maintenance of frames and roof edges.

What determines the price of a corner house in Arnhem

Corner houses generally cost more than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street. That difference is due to several factors:

• The extra land (side strip, larger garden or driveway)
• The location in the neighbourhood: a corner on a quiet street weighs differently than a corner on a busy intersection
• The construction period: pre-war corner houses with features like bay windows or higher ceilings are in a different segment than 1970s construction
• The state of maintenance, especially the extra exterior wall and the roof

Neighbourhoods where corner houses are most sought after

Not every neighbourhood in Arnhem has as many corner houses available, and the experience varies greatly. These are the areas that score highly with residents and where corner houses regularly change hands:

• Alteveer/Cranevelt — resident score 9.3/10. Quiet, green neighbourhood on the north side of the city. Corner houses here are scarce and sell quickly.
• Schaarsbergen — resident score 8.9/10. Close to the Veluwe, many detached and semi-detached houses. Corner houses fit well with the character of the area.
• Klingelbeek and surroundings — resident score 8.8/10. Quiet and green, popular with families. Limited supply, but when something becomes available, interest is high.
• St. Marten/Sonsbeek — resident score 8.5/10. Close to Sonsbeek Park. Many pre-war houses with character. Corner houses here often have a striking location.
• Arnhemse Broek — resident score 8.6/10. Varied housing, slightly more accessible in terms of price level than the neighbourhoods towards the Veluwe border.
