Terraced houses for sale in Arnhem
Terraced houses in Arnhem are in high demand and sell quickly. Check the current listings and discover which neighbourhoods suit you best.
Arnhem has more terraced houses than you think, but they sell fast
Arnhem is not a one-faced city. From the villa neighbourhoods on the ice-pushed ridge to the post-war districts in the east, the housing supply varies widely. Terraced houses form a large part of the owner-occupied market, especially in the belt of neighbourhoods built in the 1950s and 1960s. This makes the type attractive for first-time buyers and movers, but also popular enough to disappear from the market quickly.
The supply is diverse: from narrow terraced houses with a small back garden to wider terraced houses with a driveway in quiet residential streets. For current numbers and price trends, see the overview at the top of this page.

What you need to know before bidding on a terraced house in Arnhem
- Set up your search before you actively start looking. In a tight market, preparation is the only advantage you have. Set filters for property type, neighbourhood and price range.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends push notifications as soon as new homes become available that meet your criteria. This way you won't miss any listings. Download via App Store or Google Play.
- Check the foundation and cavity wall. Many Arnhem terraced houses from the reconstruction period have an uninsulated cavity wall or wooden ground floor. These are costs that show up in the structural survey, not in the asking price.
- Ask about easements. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours. Check if there are agreements about joint maintenance of party walls, boundary fences or overhanging gutters. This is recorded in the property deed at the land registry.
- Factor in heating costs, not just the purchase price. An energy label D or E increases monthly costs. Banks are stricter with homes under 40 m², but mortgage lenders may also impose additional requirements for poorly insulated homes.
- Engage a buying agent if you've missed out several times. In Arnhem, overbidding on popular terraced houses is common. An agent with local knowledge knows which streets sell quickly and which stay on the market longer.
- Also compare the rental alternative. If you're unsure about timing, check renting terraced houses in Arnhem to get an idea of the rental market as a temporary alternative.
Price level: upper middle segment, with clear factors
Terraced houses in Arnhem fall into the upper middle segment compared to many other cities in the region. This is due to the city's location, the proximity of employment in the Arnhem-Nijmegen city region and the relatively limited new-build production.
Factors that push the price of a specific terraced house up or down:
- Energy label (A or B gives a higher asking price but lower living costs)
- Extension or dormer window (already present or permitted)
- Parking on private property or on the street
- Location relative to main roads and the city centre
- Condition of the kitchen and bathroom (buyers pay for recent renovations)

Frequently asked questions
What determines the price of a terraced house in Arnhem?
The price is determined by factors such as the energy label, the presence of an extension or dormer window, parking facilities, the condition of the kitchen and bathroom, and the location in the neighbourhood. Terraced houses in Arnhem generally fall into the upper middle segment. Current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
How can I quickly find a new terraced house for sale in Arnhem?
The Buurtje.nl app sends you a free push notification as soon as a new property becomes available that matches your search criteria. This way, you are the first to know. Download the app for free from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
What legal aspects should I consider when buying a terraced house?
Always check the property deed at the land registry for easements. With terraced houses, this often involves agreements about shared maintenance of party walls, boundary fences, or overhanging gutters. Such obligations automatically transfer to the new owner and can entail unexpected costs.
Which neighbourhoods in Arnhem have the highest resident satisfaction?
Alteveer/Cranevelt scores the highest with a 9.3/10, followed by Schaarsbergen (8.9/10) and Klingelbeek e.o. (8.8/10). Arnhemse Broek (8.6/10) and St. Marten/Sonsbeek (8.5/10) are also highly rated by residents. Neighbourhood reviews and more district data can be found on the municipality and neighbourhood pages of Buurtje.nl.
Is parking a problem with terraced houses in Arnhem?
That depends heavily on the neighbourhood. In older neighbourhoods close to the city centre, street parking is the norm, sometimes with a permit requirement. In post-war suburbs, there is often space on private property or a wide pavement. Always ask about parking regulations on the street during a viewing, especially if you have multiple cars or regularly expect visitors.
Traffic dangerous, people drive too fast and the street is narrow, two speed bumps would not be a luxury and speed control would not be out of place, but I have lived here for 46 years with great pleasure, the neighbourhood is cosy.

Auto-translated to English by AILook, you have everything in the neighbourhood: schools, city centre, supermarkets, etc. It's a bit less cosy than some other neighbourhoods in Arnhem, but certainly not bad.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here it was a reasonably good neighbourhood! but my sense of safety was gone within a few months! Someone was murdered near my flat and a while ago a firework bomb exploded at a house in the street behind my flat! "Maybe more/often police on the street"?
