Druten: a Gelderland municipality where terraced houses change hands quickly
Druten is located in the River Area, wedged between the Waal and the Maas-Waalkanaal. It is a municipality that many buyers overlook compared to larger cities, but that is precisely why supply here disappears relatively quickly. Anyone seriously considering buying a terraced house in Druten will notice early on that the market rhythm is different from that in a big city: there is less supply, but also less mass competition from investors and large bidding clubs.
Terraced houses are the most common type of home in the built-up area of Druten. They appeal to families looking for space without the maintenance costs of a detached house, but also to first-time buyers wanting to take their first step onto the owner-occupied market. The segment sits in the upper middle range for this region. Current supply and price range can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
What to look out for with a terraced house in Druten
- Year of construction and insulation. A large proportion of terraced houses in Druten date from the 1970s and 1980s. Always ask about the energy label and check whether cavity wall insulation and double glazing have been installed. This partly determines your monthly costs.
- Easements and party walls. With terraced houses, the side walls are often legally party walls (shared ownership with the neighbours). Have this checked in the purchase agreement and ask about any maintenance agreements.
- Parking on private property or public. In newer neighbourhoods there is sometimes a driveway or garage; in older streets, on-street parking is the norm. Check whether the municipality applies parking standards for renovations or extensions.
- Extensions and permits. Many terraced houses in Druten have already been extended at the rear. Always ask for the environmental permit. An illegal extension can cause problems with mortgage lending or resale.
- Response speed. In a tight market, popular terraced houses sometimes sell within a week. Make sure your mortgage indication is in order before viewing so you can act immediately.
- Push notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. Set up a search and receive a free notification as soon as new terraced houses in Druten are listed. The app is free to download from the App Store and via Google Play.
- Zoning plan and future development. Druten still has development sites. Check via the environmental desk whether there are plans for construction behind or next to the plot you have in mind.
What determines the price of a terraced house here?
Terraced houses in Druten fall into the upper segment for the Rivierenland region. Specific amounts are in the overview at the top of this page, as they change with the market.
Factors that push the price up or down:
- Energy label (A or B versus E or F makes a noticeable difference).
- Location relative to the centre of Druten and the main roads towards Nijmegen and Arnhem.
- Presence of a garage, driveway or storage.
- Condition of the kitchen and bathroom (recently renovated or original 1980s).
- Plot size at the rear, particularly whether there is a proper garden.
Banks do not apply a specific lower limit for terraced houses as they do for small apartments (where some lenders are strict below 40 m²), but a low WOZ value or deferred maintenance can depress the appraisal value and complicate financing.

It's a quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery. People are very caring towards each other, everyone keeps an eye on the children playing outside. It's also located along the dike, so there's plenty of green space and places to walk. Unfortunately, there's no supermarket in the neighbourhood, but there is one in the village about 7 minutes away by bike. The village itself isn't very big, but it has the basic shops you need. For other shops, you'll soon have to go to the city, which is about 25 minutes by car. There are several primary schools in the area, each with its own qualities. There is also one secondary school that children of all levels can attend. However, if you're looking for more extensive secondary education for your child, that can easily add an hour of travel time. All in all, it's a nice neighbourhood, very sociable, and sometimes there are neighbourhood parties or such. It's also very safe, and drivers are considerate of other road users. There are bins everywhere, and many residents feel responsible for regularly tidying up, so the neighbourhood is very clean.
