Terraced houses in Haarlemmermeer are scarce and sell quickly. Here you'll find practical buying advice, neighbourhood information, and tips for responding fast.
End-terrace houses in a municipality that never stands still
Haarlemmermeer is built on reclaimed land and has never stopped growing. This is reflected in the housing supply: new-build neighbourhoods border village ribbons, and end-terrace houses appear in very diverse contexts. From a 1970s terrace on the edge of Hoofddorp to a semi-detached-looking end-terrace house in Vijfhuizen. That variation makes searching concrete, but also complex.
End-terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer are scarce relative to demand. Supply changes quickly. Those actively searching would do well to regularly consult the overview of all homes for sale in Haarlemmermeer for the latest situation.
What makes an end-terrace house here different from a mid-terrace house
An end-terrace house has a façade and garden on two street sides. That sounds simple, but in practice has quite a few consequences that buyers sometimes only consider late in the process.
- More exterior maintenance. Two façades mean more painting, more pointing, more chance of damp problems if poorly maintained. Always have a structural survey carried out, even if the house looks well-maintained.
- Boundaries are not always clear. Corner plots border multiple neighbours and public areas. Request the cadastral map and check whether the current fencing matches the property boundaries. Fences are sometimes in the wrong place.
- Buildings insurance slightly more expensive. More exterior surface area, more risk in the eyes of insurers. Not dramatic, but factor it in.
- Side driveway or extra parking space. Many end-terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer have a side strip. Check whether it belongs to the house (freehold or leasehold) and whether a permit is needed for a driveway.
- Noise and privacy. A corner position gives more light and air, but also more street noise. On busy streets in Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep, this can be noticeable.
- Ask about the HOA status in apartment complexes. Some end-terrace houses in multi-storey buildings fall under a Homeowners' Association. Check whether the reserves are in order.
- Install the Buurtje.nl app on your phone. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new end-terrace house becomes available. Download from the App Store or Google Play.
Price level: what determines the value of an end-terrace house in Haarlemmermeer
End-terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer fall into the higher segment of the owner-occupied market. They are consistently priced higher than comparable mid-terrace houses, due to the extra plot and the double façade position. Current prices and the ratio between asking and transaction prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors that push the price up or down:
- Location on a through road (negative) or on a quiet side street (positive)
- Presence of a garage or driveway on the side plot
- Condition of the side façade and roof (maintenance is visible and weighs in)
- Year of construction and insulation value (energy label plays an increasingly important role in financing)
- Proximity to NS station or main roads towards Amsterdam or Schiphol
Neighbourhoods where end-terrace houses are most common
Not every neighbourhood in Haarlemmermeer has as many end-terrace houses in the mix. Below are the neighbourhoods with the most relevant supply, including resident scores.
- Vijfhuizen (8.5/10): small village with spacious plots, end-terrace houses here are often detached or semi-detached. Quiet, but limited supply.
- Abbenes / Buitenkaag (8.3/10): polder village with its own character. Little new-build, but when something becomes available it is often a spacious end-terrace house.
- Hoofddorp (8.0/10): the centre of the municipality. Lots of variation in year of construction and type. Good public transport connections and amenities. End-terrace houses in the newer expansion neighbourhoods are popular with families.
- Nieuw-Vennep (7.5/10): larger village with an active housing market. Relatively many end-terrace houses in the 1990s and 2000s neighbourhoods. Slightly more accessible in terms of entry price than Vijfhuizen.
- Zwanenburg (6.1/10): close to Amsterdam, lower resident scores but also a different price range. Interesting for those who want the city but have less to spend.

Is parking a problem at a corner house in Haarlemmermeer?
Many corner houses in Haarlemmermeer have a side strip that provides space for a driveway or garage. However, check whether that strip is actually owned and whether the municipality has granted a driveway permit. In busy parts of Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep, street parking can be tight, even if you have your own driveway.
It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIFortunately, everything is reasonably close by, such as Haarlem, Hoofddorp.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's lovely living here, you know the neighbours, contact, and close to a small park, shops, and a retirement home. Pleasant, 10 minutes' walk to a recreational lake.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have reasonable contact with each other, but if you don't have family in the neighbourhood, you could lie dead in your house for a month; it's still every man for himself. For hygiene, the streets are not cleaned, the street is uneven, you have to watch where you walk. For housing, more maintenance is needed; my house is damp, my kitchen lock is broken, the skylight hasn't been fixed properly, and I'm heating like crazy to keep warm, and it's only November.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnaffordable houses are being built, facilities lag behind. Refuse trucks are always on time but the bins and waste containers are not emptied often, resulting in mess on and along the roads and pavements. One road leading to Bloemenbuurt that is full of rubbish due to new construction and through traffic. Too many Moroccan people. Good schools though.
Auto-translated to English by AINice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!
Auto-translated to English by AII came to live at Oostmoor 22 when it was new. At first, very good contact with the fellow residents. Now partly - owner-occupied homes - the contact hasn't improved. Everyone lives in their own bubble, also caused by both partners working. People have no time for others. I myself make frequent use of the neighbourhood centre Linguenda, for a cup of coffee and a meal twice a month. Organised by volunteers. Even though the neighbourhood centre is centrally located in the area, it is still unknown to many. I also go to the meeting centre and C PUNT, to meet others and the belote club. For many elderly people, using a PC or laptop is somewhat complicated, and they therefore miss out on some information. I also use the supermarket for communication; you always run into someone you haven't seen in a while. Ludwig Fauser. optionally phone number 0640391865.
