Buying a house in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht: the housing market in 2026
Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht is a municipality in the Drechtsteden region that has grown considerably over the past twenty years. With over 32,600 residents, it is no longer a village, but it doesn't feel like a city either. This middle ground mainly attracts families who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Rotterdam or Dordrecht, but still want to be within half an hour of their workplace. The A16 and the Kiltunnel are just around the corner, Zwijndrecht station is nearby, and with the waterbus you can quickly reach the centre of Dordrecht. The housing market is strongly owner-occupied: 72% of the more than 12,700 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 28% rented. The average WOZ value is €397,000. In the past twelve months, 137 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €628,009, with a range of €189,900 to €6,800,000. That upper limit is due to the detached villas in De Volgerlanden; the vast majority of transactions are well below that. The average surface area of sold homes is 140 m². At the top of this page you will always find the current supply of homes for sale in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht with the latest asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht
Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht has five clearly distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character and price level. Below are the most important areas for buyers, including resident ratings.
De Volgerlanden, the new-build neighbourhood still growing
De Volgerlanden is the newest part of the municipality and is still under development. Here you will find wide avenues, modern terraced houses, semi-detached homes and striking architecture. The neighbourhood mainly attracts young families and movers looking for space. Primary schools, a sports park and playgrounds are plentiful, although residents sometimes miss a supermarket within walking distance. On Buurtje.nl, De Volgerlanden scores an 8.4 from residents. One resident writes: "Nice, spacious neighbourhood with many young families. Everything is new and well-maintained." Prices here are above the municipal average, especially for the larger plots.

Centrum, village living with amenities around the corner
The centre of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht has the character of an old South Holland village, with the Sophiakerk, small shops along the Dorpsstraat and a weekly market. The housing stock is mixed: you will find 1970s terraced houses, apartments and the occasional detached home. Residents give Centrum a 7.2 on Buurtje.nl. Accessibility scores well, but there is room for improvement in green spaces and amenities. For starters and singles, the centre is often the most affordable entry point in the municipality, with purchase prices below the average of €628,000.
Sandelingen-Ambacht, quiet and green on the outskirts
Sandelingen-Ambacht lies on the southern side of the municipality, towards the Waal and the open polder landscape. It is a quiet residential area with mainly single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s. Families appreciate the proximity of primary schools and the green character. Prices here are comparable to the municipal average, depending on the state of maintenance. If you want to buy here, you will find the current supply on the page for Sandelingen-Ambacht.
Krommeweg, compact and affordable
Krommeweg is a smaller neighbourhood north of the centre. Here you will find compact terraced houses and some porch flats, making it a suitable place for starters or those who want to buy an apartment in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht without paying top dollar. The neighbourhood is older and less green than De Volgerlanden, but its location near the A16 is a plus for commuters. View the available homes in Krommeweg.
In addition, De Oevers is an interesting area by the water, where new-build homes have been constructed in recent years. For a complete overview of all neighbourhoods, neighbourhood scores and all reviews of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, you can visit the municipal page.
What to look out for when buying a home in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht?
Firstly: pay close attention to the differences between neighbourhoods. De Volgerlanden is popular, but you pay a premium for new-build there. In Centrum or Krommeweg you can sometimes find a home with more square metres for less money, although you then have to account for renovation costs and higher energy consumption. The average gas consumption in the municipality is 890 m³, but older homes are well above that. Always ask for the energy label.
Secondly: the market in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht is relatively tight. With 137 sales in a year and a municipality where 72% are owner-occupied homes, not much comes onto the market. Overbidding is not uncommon, especially for family homes between €350,000 and €500,000. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: check the accessibility from the specific neighbourhood. De Volgerlanden is further from the motorway than Centrum, and public transport is not equally strong everywhere. If you commute daily to Rotterdam or The Hague, it is wise to test the travel time in advance. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to objectively compare neighbourhoods. This gives you insight that you won't get from a viewing.

Very good and pleasant contact with all neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with quite friendly people. There are more elderly than young people and many Christians. It's a mix of poor and rich. In one street there are terraced houses and a few metres further there are large beautiful houses. For the rest, there is a lot of nature and even a large natural playground, but that's about it. The primary school education here is not the best; not much is done and the teachers themselves underestimate the pupils. The secondary school is quite far away and the vocational colleges/universities of applied sciences are even further. On the one hand that's nice because it's nice and quiet. But for the students it's sometimes annoying, especially the vocational colleges/universities of applied sciences.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, no nuisance, tidy, friendly people, clear traffic situation, there could be more greenery because a lot is being built while little nature remains.
Auto-translated to English by AIYeah, good though
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many families with young children, but otherwise there is little cosiness in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful part of Ambacht. Lots of familiar faces. A strong sense of community thanks to the neighbourhood BBQ. You kind of know everyone. Everyone looks out for each other and you can always ask for help.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell accessible, but there are some loitering youths, and sometimes some noise nuisance from scooters
Auto-translated to English by AII am 18 years old myself and live with my parents. Shops are nearby and easily accessible, and the public transport connections are good. Apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood, but sometimes a bit unsafe with the youth.
