Terraced houses in Beverwijk: what you need to know about this supply
Beverwijk is not a city where you can sit back as a buyer. The housing market is balanced, but that doesn't mean there is ample supply. Terraced houses form the backbone of many post-war neighbourhoods here, from the row houses in Broekpolder to the more compact streets in the Kuenenkwartier. These are homes that appeal to both first-time buyers and those moving up the ladder, and that makes competition immediately noticeable.
The supply changes quickly. A terraced house that comes online today will already have multiple viewing requests tomorrow. For those actively searching for a home for sale in Beverwijk, that is a reality to take into account.
Terraced houses in Beverwijk are in the upper-middle segment for the region. They attract buyers who can no longer afford or want to pay for Amsterdam, but still want a connection to the city. The train connection via Beverwijk station plays a concrete role in this.
What to look out for with a terraced house: type-specific points of attention
A terraced house has two neighbours. That sounds logical, but the practical consequences are too often ignored during viewings.
- Noise nuisance via the party wall. Ask about the construction period. Houses from the 1960s and 1970s often have thin cavity walls. Have this checked in the structural survey.
- Boundary and canopy. Extensions, fences and dormer windows on the side affect the boundary. Check whether permits have been applied for existing extensions. Missing permits can cause problems when reselling.
- Foundations. In Beverwijk, particularly in older neighbourhoods, foundation problems are not uncommon. If in doubt, have a foundation survey carried out in addition to the standard structural survey.
- Homeowners' association (VvE) for flats above or next to the house. Some terraced houses border a split property. Check whether there is an active VvE and what the reserve fund contains.
- Energy label. Banks increasingly look at the energy label when assessing a mortgage. A poor label can affect the maximum mortgage or entail additional costs for sustainability improvements.
- Response time. Terraced houses in Beverwijk attract relatively many viewing requests. Set your search profile as sharply as possible and respond within hours, not days. Use the free Buurtje.nl app to be the first to know: the app sends push notifications as soon as new supply appears. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play, both free.
- Overbidding and financing contingency. Many buyers waive the financing contingency to strengthen their position. Weigh this risk carefully and discuss it with your mortgage advisor in advance.
What determines the price of a terraced house in Beverwijk?
Specific amounts are in the overview at the top of this page, which are kept up to date. What is useful here: the factors that push the price up or down.
- Location within the city. Homes close to the centre or the station are valued higher. Neighbourhoods with a lower resident score generally have a lower entry level.
- Energy label and state of maintenance. A home with label A or B fetches more than a comparable home with label E or F, especially now that energy costs weigh more heavily.
- Extension or dormer window. Extra living space has a direct effect on the asking price. Note: an extension without a permit counts in the price, but can pose a legal risk.
- Parking facilities. In neighbourhoods with parking pressure, a driveway or garage is a concrete advantage that is reflected in the price.
Neighbourhoods for a terraced house in Beverwijk
Not every neighbourhood in Beverwijk is the same. Residents rate their area differently. Below is an overview based on resident scores.

No suitable supply in Beverwijk? Also look at Amsterdam
If the supply in Beverwijk does not currently match your wishes, it is worth looking further afield. Terraced houses in Amsterdam are in a different price segment, but sometimes offer more supply or a different mix of house types. Especially if you are flexible on location, it pays to follow multiple municipalities at the same time. Do you also want to explore the rental side?

Is parking a problem with terraced houses in Beverwijk?

A driveway or garage directly affects the value of the property and living comfort. Always ask about the parking situation during busy times when viewing.
The neighbourhood exists. Not much happens, it lacks vibrancy. The festivities of yesteryear are no more. However, it is still closer-knit than most neighbourhoods. Additionally, the area is flooded with work vans and parking has become abysmal since the permit zone was expanded to our neighbourhood. Some trees have been planted, but much more greenery could and should be added to the existing planters, bay windows, and such. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is rather drab, which happens quickly when the houses are literally painted grey. There is also a lot of illegal dumping. There is always some rubbish lying around somewhere. The bus routes in the area, if they even run nearby, are not great. They rarely go where you want to go. Postboxes are also disappearing, and even polling stations are hard to find.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhat a wonderful place I find Beverwijk! The location is fantastic: I love being so close to the coast. A quick stroll on the beach at Wijk aan Zee is easily done, and the dunes always offer a beautiful piece of nature for walking or cycling. I love breathing in the sea air. The shopping options: The Bazaar is of course unique and something I really enjoy. It's a fantastic, bustling place where I always find something special. The diversity there is great! But I also find the atmosphere in the city centre very pleasant. The people and the atmosphere: I experience Beverwijk as a place with a down-to-earth, cosy and cordial atmosphere. The people here are direct, and I like that. I really feel at home here. Culture and history: The historical elements, such as the ruins of Huis te Beverwijk, appeal to me a lot. I find it interesting to learn more about them. For me, Beverwijk is just a nice, lively municipality with a perfect mix of urban conveniences, history and nature. I wouldn't want to leave here! The only downside is the education in the neighbourhood. There are enough schools, but the level of the teachers and the education is very mediocre. This MUST be improved for the next generation.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street. No respect for each other at all. Still holding on but would love to leave. The housing association does very little. Only when you move out does the house get properly insulated with new floors. The ventilation system is NEVER cleaned. Draughty as hell here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Westertuinen actually consists of two neighbourhoods: the one below the Plesmanweg and the one above the Plesmanweg. I am writing about the first, but my experiences may also apply to the neighbourhood north of the Plesmanweg. The Westertuinen is a quiet and tidy neighbourhood with plenty of greenery and many well-maintained front gardens. I think it is one of the better neighbourhoods in Beverwijk, but perhaps a bit less cosy. A major drawback is the smell from the industry when the wind is from the west. Several schools and supermarkets are easily reachable by bike. For public transport, you have to put in a bit more effort. There are also plenty of playgrounds within walking distance. When I go on holiday, friends and acquaintances always want to use my house because they can drive to the beach every day.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe cosiness is gone. Since the neighbourhood became multicultural. More fear. Alcohol and drugs. Rats.. no school in the neighbourhood anymore. Few trees and shrubs. Lots of one-way traffic.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area. Other than that, it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down. Rubbish bags or rags stuck on windows, front gardens used as storage for trailers, mess and weeds. Back gardens are used as dumping grounds. Luckily our row is still quite good. They cram everything in. Let them live in a flat if they can't keep their garden tidy. In the meantime, a few car fires and explosions near houses. Safety is hard to find. Everyone should keep their street and area clean and weed-free. It's a 30 km/h zone but people drive way too fast while there is a school and daycare nearby. Such a shame about what was once such a nice neighbourhood.
