End-of-terrace houses in Heemskerk: what you'll find on the market
Heemskerk is not a town that shouts for attention, but once you live here, you stay. The municipality is nestled between the dunes and the A9, has a relatively quiet character, and attracts buyers who consciously choose less hustle and bustle than in neighbouring cities. The supply of end-of-terrace houses reflects that: predominantly terraced housing estates from the 1970s and 1980s, interspersed with newer expansions towards the polder. End-of-terrace houses come up regularly here, but the market is tight. If you're serious, you need to act fast.
End-of-terrace houses in Heemskerk generally fall into the upper middle segment. The extra land, side windows, and private driveway make this type attractive for families and upsizers. Current numbers and prices can be found in the overview of all homes for sale in Heemskerk at the top of this page.
What to look out for when buying an end-of-terrace house
An end-of-terrace house has specific points of attention that are less of an issue with a mid-terrace property. Keep the following in mind:
- Side wall and insulation. End-of-terrace houses have more external wall than mid-terrace houses. Ask for the energy label and check whether the cavity wall insulation is correct. Older Heemskerk neighbourhoods from the 1970s often do not have this in order.
- Property boundary and side path. The side path is sometimes shared or partly public. Check the purchase agreement and the land registry exactly where the property boundary lies. This prevents disputes with neighbours or the municipality about fences and extensions.
- Roof edge and downpipes. The corner position means more wind load on gutters and downpipes. Have this included in the structural survey.
- Permit for extension. A side extension is popular with end-of-terrace houses, but in Heemskerk, zoning plan rules apply per neighbourhood. Check with the municipality in advance whether a permit is needed, especially in older neighbourhoods.
- Mortgage on small homes. Banks are strict with homes under 40 m². End-of-terrace houses in Heemskerk are generally more spacious, but if in doubt, check the cubic capacity in the valuation report.
- React quickly. End-of-terrace houses sell faster than comparable mid-terrace houses. Ensure your financing is in order in advance (orientation meeting with a mortgage advisor) so you can make an offer immediately.
- Set up push notifications. Set up a search via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new end-of-terrace house becomes available in Heemskerk. In a tight market, that makes the difference between being on time or not.
What an end-of-terrace house in Heemskerk costs (and why that varies)
End-of-terrace houses here fall into the upper middle segment. Concrete prices change quickly; current figures are at the top of this page. What determines the price:
- Plot size. More side land means a higher asking price. Look critically at whether that land is actually usable for you.
- Year of construction and state of maintenance. 1970s homes are generally cheaper than comparable homes from the 1990s or new builds, but require more investment in insulation and installations.
- Location in the neighbourhood. An end-of-terrace house on a through road is less sought after than one on a residential square. That is reflected in the price.
- Energy label. Label A or B gives buyers certainty about running costs and increases the pool of interested parties, which drives up the price.

What legal aspects should I consider with an end-of-terrace house?
Always check the exact property boundary in the land registry, especially with the side path. That path is sometimes partly public or communal, which has implications for placing a fence or building an extension. Have this checked by a buying agent or notary before you make an offer.

Commandeurs and Marquette (8.2/10) and Poelenburg and Oosterzij (8.1/10) score highest on resident satisfaction. Hoogdorp and Waterakkers (7.9/10) is popular due to the more spacious layout and parking options for end-of-terrace houses. Kerkbeek (7.8/10) scores well on accessibility.
Is there sufficient parking for end-of-terrace houses in Heemskerk?
This varies greatly by neighbourhood and construction period. End-of-terrace houses often have a side driveway or the possibility to create one, but check whether the municipality requires a permit for this. In neighbourhoods like Hoogdorp and Waterakkers, the street layout is more spacious than in the denser 1970s neighbourhoods closer to the centre.
The neighbourhood where I live is nice and cosy, but there is a park next to it where the maintenance is really poor. They remove the beautiful trees and leave the weeds because, in my opinion, they don't know much about greenery. And the surrounding neighbourhoods have a lot of nuisance from young people. In my view, too little is being done about it. And I'm afraid it won't get much better because they want to place an asylum seekers' centre. They can't handle it as it is!
Auto-translated to English by AII think I live in a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is very central, making it easy to get to shops and other places. Additionally, the neighbourhood is quiet, which I really appreciate. It creates a safe and relaxed atmosphere. What I do find a pity is that there is no playground for children in the area. If there were a play area, children could play better here and the neighbourhood would become even more pleasant. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood. It is quiet and centrally located, and with a playground it would be completely complete.
Auto-translated to English by AIHouses will be demolished in the future they say 20227 as far as we know nothing neighbourhood okay otherwise poor maintenance
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived there for years.
Auto-translated to English by AINice and close together but not too much. The neighbourhood is super cosy and social, so that's not the issue. Plenty of facilities like playgrounds and a Cruyff court football field.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, all shops and amenities are easily accessible. Pleasant living.
Auto-translated to English by AII like that my house is so surrounded by nature. However, there aren't many social people here; a neighbourhood party would have been nice sometimes. People often say that I "live in a maze". There are several schools nearby, which is nice for the children, and there are still a few houses available to rent or buy. There is little crime here (at least that's what I've noticed), and you're also close to a supermarket, snack bar, pizzeria, and hairdresser. Of course, you're also quite close to the centre of Heemskerk, and Beverwijk is also quite nearby. The hygiene here is also fine. In summary, it's a decent neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, neighbours talk to each other, you know everyone, lots of playgrounds so it's nice to let your child grow up here, at the end of the street a primary school and on the street a daycare centre. Great location. The flat itself is a bit outdated but they are working on making it more sustainable and renovating.
