End-of-terrace houses in Heerlen: what you need to know beforehand
Heerlen is not a city where you can shop blindly. The housing market is more balanced than in the Randstad, but that doesn't mean end-of-terrace houses are waiting quietly for you. This type of house attracts a lot of interest: more glass, your own driveway or side path, and usually a larger garden than a mid-terrace house in the same row. That makes end-of-terrace houses in Heerlen more popular than the average offering.
The supply varies greatly per neighbourhood. You'll find both post-war terraced housing estates with spacious corner plots and newer expansion neighbourhoods with more compact plots. For first-time buyers just above the starter limit, for families looking for a garage or extra outdoor space, and for people returning to South Limburg: this type suits many situations. View the current supply and numbers in the overview at the top of this page.
What to look out for with an end-of-terrace house, specifically in this market
- Side wall and insulation. An end-of-terrace house has two external walls. Always check the energy label and ask about the insulation values of the side wall. Older Heerlen end-of-terrace houses from the 1950s and 1960s often score insufficiently here.
- Boundary and easements. In many Heerlen neighbourhoods, utility lines from neighbours run across the corner plot. Have this checked via the land registry before making an offer.
- Driveway and municipal land. A driveway next to an end-of-terrace house may seem private, but that's not always the case. Ask explicitly whether the driveway is on your own land or on municipal land (with or without a permit).
- Response time. End-of-terrace houses disappear faster than mid-terrace houses. Set up your search and respond on the same day. Use the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications as soon as new listings come online, available via the App Store and Google Play.
- Structural survey. End-of-terrace houses have more sensitive points (roof edge, side wall, corner foundation). A survey is not a luxury for this type.
- Zoning plan. Want to build an extension or canopy on the side? Check if it can be done without a permit. Heerlen sometimes uses different dimensions than surrounding municipalities.
- Financing. Banks are strict with houses under 40m². End-of-terrace houses in Heerlen rarely fall into that category, but with small city houses in the centre, it's worth verifying.
Price level: what determines what you pay
End-of-terrace houses in Heerlen are in the mid-range of the owner-occupied market. They are relatively affordable compared to similar houses in cities like Maastricht or Eindhoven, but that doesn't mean asking prices haven't risen in recent years. Current price indications are in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors that push the price up:
- Location in a neighbourhood with high resident scores
- Presence of a garage or carport on your own land
- Energy label A or B
- Recent bathroom or kitchen renovation
- View of greenery or park
Factors that push the price down: deferred maintenance, an unfavourable energy label, or a location on a busy traffic artery. In Heerlen, there are neighbourhoods where the latter is a real issue.

Is parking arranged for a corner house in Heerlen?
This varies greatly by neighbourhood. In the centre, street parking is the norm and a private driveway is a big plus. In outlying neighbourhoods such as Welten-Benzenrade or Molenberg, there is generally more space and corner houses more often have a garage or driveway on their own land. Always check this in the property description and ask about it during the viewing.
In the neighbourhood there are many cultured people, very cosy! The only downside is that there are also antisocial people living here.. and they don't give a damn about anything or anyone.. there is little parking space right in front of my door, which is really not pleasant, the neighbourhood itself is quite close-knit and everyone enjoys chatting with each other during New Year's or a summer day. There is hardly any greenery here and there, some bushes here and there but that's about it.. luckily they are busy renovating and greening the part where we live, so that's something I consider a plus point for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, it's often the case that houses have overdue maintenance due to landlords or people who simply don't care about what their house looks like.
