Terraced houses for sale in Drimmelen
Terraced houses in Drimmelen are scarce and sell quickly. Here you will find practical information about the supply, the villages, and what you need to know when buying.
Drimmelen: a water-rich municipality where terraced houses are scarce
Drimmelen is wedged between the Biesbosch and the West Brabant polder landscape. The municipality has a handful of villages, of which Made is the largest. The housing market is predominantly owner-occupied: rental properties are thin on the ground, and terraced houses rarely become available in large numbers at once. Anyone wanting to buy a terraced house here faces a market where properties sell quickly and supply remains limited. Current numbers and prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Terraced houses in Drimmelen are in the upper mid-range segment. This is due to the location, the relatively quiet living environment, and limited new construction. The municipality attracts families who want to escape urban hustle but still want to live within reach of Breda or Tilburg.
What you need to know before buying a terraced house in Drimmelen
Buying a terraced house comes with specific points of attention that are less relevant for other property types. Especially in a municipality like Drimmelen, where many houses date from the 1970s and 1980s:
- Shared walls, shared responsibility. With a terraced house, you have neighbours on both sides. Check whether there are agreements about maintenance of party walls, gutters, and boundary fences. This is not always included in the purchase agreement but can lead to conflicts.
- Insulation and noise. Older terraced houses in Drimmelen often have thin cavity walls or no cavity wall insulation. Have a structural survey carried out and specifically ask about sound transmission and damp problems in the cavity.
- Easements. In smaller villages like Made and Lage Zwaluwe, plots are sometimes burdened with old easements (right of way, pipelines). Check this in the land registry before making an offer.
- Financing for small floor areas. Banks scrutinise properties under 40 m². Terraced houses in Drimmelen are usually well above that, but always check the floor area in the brochure yourself against the NEN 2580 measurement.
- Respond quickly. In a tight market, terraced houses here rarely stay online for more than a week. Ensure your financing is arranged in advance (mortgage statement or exploratory meeting) so you can request a viewing immediately.
- Enable push notifications. Via the free App Store or Google Play version of the Buurtje.nl app, you will receive a notification as soon as a new terraced house appears in Drimmelen. The app is free and helps you stay ahead of the competition.
- Watch the WOZ value versus asking price. In a market with limited supply, the asking price can be significantly above the WOZ value. That is not a problem in itself, but it affects your mortgage capacity if the appraiser values it lower.
What determines the price level of terraced houses here?
Drimmelen is not a cheap municipality. Terraced houses fall into the upper mid-range segment, and this has several causes:
- The location near the Biesbosch makes the municipality attractive for people seeking nature and tranquillity without being far from the motorway.
- Supply is structurally tight. Little is being built, especially in the existing villages.
- The construction period plays a role: houses from the 1980s and 1990s have varying energy labels, which can depress or increase the price depending on the condition.
- Location within the village matters: a terraced house within walking distance of amenities in Made generally commands a higher price than one on the outskirts of Lage Zwaluwe.

Made or Lage Zwaluwe: which village suits you?
Drimmelen consists of several villages. For those looking for a terraced house, these are the two most relevant:
- Made (8.2/10). The largest village in the municipality, with supermarkets, schools, and an active community life. Residents appreciate the social cohesion and accessibility. This is where most of the supply of terraced houses is, and the infrastructure is best developed.
- Lage Zwaluwe (5.6/10). Quieter, smaller-scale, and closer to the A17 motorway. The resident score is lower, partly due to fewer amenities in the village itself. For buyers who do not value a lively village centre, this can be an entry opportunity in the same municipality.
Both villages can be found in the overall overview of all owner-occupied homes in Drimmelen.
Nothing found? Also look at Tilburg
Drimmelen does not directly border a large city, but Tilburg is within reasonable driving distance. If you are flexible on location, you can expand your search area. In Tilburg, the supply of terraced houses is larger and lead times are sometimes longer, giving you more room to choose carefully. Check the supply of terraced houses in Tilburg as a supplement to your search.
Would you rather stay in the municipality but rent instead of buy? Then you will find the rental side on the page renting terraced houses in Drimmelen. That can be a temporary option while you wait for the right property to buy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price level of terraced houses in Drimmelen?
Terraced houses in Drimmelen fall into the upper middle segment. Supply is structurally tight, which drives up prices. Factors such as energy label, year of construction and location within the town centre partly determine the asking price. Current prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
How can I quickly find a new terraced house in Drimmelen?
Houses in Drimmelen are rarely listed for long. Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and set up a search for terraced houses in Drimmelen. You will then receive an instant push notification as soon as new listings appear, so you can be the first to respond.
What legal aspects should I consider with a terraced house?
When purchasing, always check whether there are easements on the plot, such as a right of way or third-party pipes. This can be found in the land registry data. Also have the purchase agreement reviewed for agreements regarding shared party walls and gutters, as disputes often arise about these afterwards.
Which towns in Drimmelen are most suitable for a terraced house?
Made (resident score 8.2/10) is the largest town with the most amenities and the most supply. Lage Zwaluwe (5.6/10) is smaller and quieter, with fewer amenities but a more favourable location near the A17. Which town suits you depends on your daily needs and travel pattern.
Is there sufficient parking for terraced houses in Drimmelen?
In most residential areas in Made and Lage Zwaluwe, parking on the street or on your own driveway is well organised. Terraced houses rarely have a garage, but often have a driveway or parking space in front of the house. During viewings, check whether a fixed parking spot is included with the house and whether the street offers enough space for a second car.
