End-of-terrace houses for sale in Dijk en Waard
End-of-terrace houses for sale in Dijk en Waard: scarce supply, high demand. View the current overview and find the neighbourhood that suits you.
Corner houses in a municipality that is still very much in motion
Dijk en Waard has only existed since 2022, but the housing market here already has a clear character. The municipality, formed by the merger of Heerhugowaard and Langedijk, is predominantly owner-occupied. Corner houses fit that profile well: they are scattered throughout the new-build neighbourhoods of Heerhugowaard and the older ribbons of Langedijk, and they are popular with buyers who want both a garden and space without taking the step to a detached house.
The supply is limited. Corner houses come onto the market less often than terraced houses, and when they do, they sell quickly. Here you are dealing with a market in the upper middle segment, where demand structurally exceeds supply. Current numbers and price indications can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Suitable for: families looking for space, people who work from home and want a separate driveway, and buyers who consciously choose a larger outdoor space without too much VvE hassle.
What makes a corner house here different from elsewhere
Buying a corner house is not the same as buying a terraced house. A few things that are specifically relevant for this type in Dijk en Waard:
- Boundaries and side driveway: Many corner houses in Heerhugowaard have a side entrance or extra piece of land next to the house. Always check in the purchase agreement whether that land is owned, leasehold, or municipal property. This varies per neighbourhood and per year of construction.
- Insulation of the side wall: An extra external wall means more heat loss. Request the energy label and pay attention to the insulation value of the side wall, especially for houses from the 1980s and 1990s.
- Extensions and permits: Corner houses more often have an extension or conservatory. Check whether an environmental permit has been issued for this. Illegal extensions can cause problems with financing.
- Higher buildings insurance: Due to the larger wall surface area and the extra piece of land, the rebuilding value is higher. Factor this into your monthly costs.
- Speed of response: Corner houses in Dijk en Waard rarely stay online for long. Set up a search and enable notifications. The free Buurtje.nl app sends you a push notification as soon as new listings appear. Download from the App Store or Google Play, completely free.
- Parking space: A private driveway is a major advantage in many neighbourhoods of Dijk en Waard. Check whether the driveway legally belongs to the house and is not shared with the neighbour.
- Financing of corner houses under 40m²: Not relevant for most corner houses here, but if you come across a small corner house: banks are critical of houses under 40m², which can limit your mortgage options.
What you pay for a corner house in Dijk en Waard
Corner houses in Dijk en Waard fall into the upper middle segment. They are structurally more expensive than comparable terraced houses, due to the larger plots, the extra garden, and the location at the end of a block.
Factors that drive the price up: a private driveway, a spacious side or back garden, a recent renovation, location in a sought-after neighbourhood, and a good energy label. Factors that put downward pressure on the price: outdated kitchen or bathroom, a side wall without insulation, or a neighbourhood with a lower neighbourhood score.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice, with many different families of various ages. Generally, the area is clean and quiet. Most people are friendly and respectful.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I find my neighbourhood very pleasant. It's a quiet environment where I don't really have any issues. Additionally, the shops are conveniently close, which makes daily errands very easy. What I like less is that due to the parking permit system, many people park on our street. As a result, I often can't park in front of my own house, which is sometimes frustrating. Otherwise, I'm satisfied, because it remains a quiet and nice neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very cosy. There are many events on the Kruis that are often very enjoyable for young and old. The architecture of the houses doesn't match well. And the neighbours are all friendly and everyone knows each other a bit. We are only quite far from the station and I think there is little entertainment in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
