Hoogeveen has space, but semi-detached houses disappear quickly
Hoogeveen is not a city where you see an estate agent's sign on every corner. The housing market here is more balanced than in the Randstad, but that doesn't mean you can wait around. Semi-detached houses are popular with families and movers, and supply in the upper middle segment is limited. Those who search actively notice that well-maintained, move-in-ready examples are quickly gone. Current numbers can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
The supply largely consists of homes in residential areas built from the 1970s onwards, with occasional new-build projects or more recent expansion neighbourhoods. The homes typically have a garden at the front and back and a garage or driveway. This attracts buyers who consciously choose more space than a terraced house offers but do not need a detached home.

What you need to know before making an offer
Buying a semi-detached house comes with specific points of attention that are less relevant for a terraced house. Keep the following in mind:
- Shared wall and foundation. You share structural components with the neighbour. Always have a structural survey done, even if the house looks good. Defects in the shared foundation or roof can be costly and are not always visible during viewings.
- No HOA, but still dependency. Semi-detached houses rarely fall under a Homeowners' Association. That sounds advantageous, but for maintenance of shared parts, you depend on the neighbour's willingness. Record agreements in the purchase deed or via a chain clause.
- Check the zoning plan. In Hoogeveen, different rules apply per neighbourhood for extensions, roof additions, or placing a shed. Inquire with the municipality or via the Environmental Desk before making plans.
- Energy label. Older semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen often have a lower energy label. This directly affects your monthly costs and mortgage options. Banks sometimes offer more favourable conditions for energy-efficient homes.
- Respond quickly and completely. Estate agents in Hoogeveen often work with registrations or bidding rounds. An incomplete financing confirmation costs you points. Ensure your mortgage advice is already underway before you start actively viewing.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new semi-detached house becomes available in Hoogeveen. This way, you are ahead of buyers who only search manually. Download via the App Store or Google Play.
- Also compare the rental supply. If buying is not possible now, there is also a market for renting semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen as a temporary solution.
Price level: upper middle segment, with large differences
Semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen fall into the upper middle segment of the local market. Specific prices are in the overview at the top of this page, as they change regularly.
What determines the price includes:
- Year of construction and state of maintenance (new-build versus 1970s construction)
- Energy label (label A or B attracts higher asking prices)
- Location in the neighbourhood (near amenities or on a quiet street)
- Presence of a garage, driveway, or extra storage
- Whether the house is move-in ready or requires renovation
In Hoogeveen, price differences per neighbourhood are noticeable. This makes neighbourhood choice a financial decision, not just a preference.

What does a semi-detached house cost in Hoogeveen?
Semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen fall into the upper middle segment of the local market. Actual prices vary greatly by neighbourhood, year of construction and state of maintenance. Current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The app sends a push notification as soon as new listings become available in Hoogeveen, allowing you to respond faster than buyers who only search manually.
What are the legal points to consider with a semi-detached house?
You share a wall and sometimes a foundation or roof with the neighbour, but there is usually no homeowners' association (VvE). This means that agreements about joint maintenance are not automatically recorded. Have a structural survey carried out and ensure that maintenance agreements are included in the purchase deed or via a chain clause.
In which neighbourhood in Hoogeveen is it best to buy a semi-detached house?
That depends on your preferences. Noordscheschut (9.3/10) and Hollandscheveld (8.9/10) score highest on resident satisfaction and have a quiet, green character. De Weide (7.6/10) is closer to the centre and more practical for daily use. Compare neighbourhood scores and reviews via the neighbourhood pages on Buurtje.nl.
Is parking a problem with semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen?
Generally not. Most semi-detached houses in Hoogeveen have their own driveway, garage or space on private property. In residential areas outside the centre, parking is rarely an issue. However, check whether the garage is usable as a parking space or only set up as storage.
I've lived in Noordscheschut for almost my entire life and it's a very cosy village. Everyone always gives each other a wave and people chat among themselves. Top place to live!
Auto-translated to English by AII live close to the park, where you can take nice walks, sit on benches, which I advocated for at the time. The beautiful art bench also looks great again. The festival has just been held again. You can also play a game with discs there, together or alone. In winter with snow, children can slide down the hill with a sled or tyre. The petting zoo is nearby. People with dogs talk to each other and dogs play together. The old Hoogeveense Vaart lies in front of my house, with an old street lined with oak trees along it. An old bridge also spans the water. People often sit there fishing. A wonderfully quiet spot in Hoogeveen. The bus 'De Bij' runs regularly in the area. Most daily necessities you can buy in the shopping centre. Doctor's practice and pharmacy within walking distance, what more could you want. Maybe a few extra benches, one at the parking spot near the doctor's practice please..
Auto-translated to English by AIDue to the distances between the large town of Hoogeveen and the villages of Alteveer and Kerkenveld, accessibility and amenities are quite limited. The only way to reach a built-up area is by bike or car. And for amenities and education, you have to go to those areas. But the people are friendly and the neighbourhood is safe.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood where people look out for each other, help each other and tolerate each other. Sometimes there is a bit of nuisance from youth, but it never lasts long and never gets out of hand because the neighbourhood keeps an eye on things so the police don't have to get involved. Only a shame that the houses are old and in need of replacement. That's the only downside.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll amenities in the neighbourhood for now, but if the council gets its way it will get worse. Many shops have already left the Tamboerpassage because the council preferred them to move to the Hoofdstraat, despite the fact that many residents who are often not very mobile now have to walk a long way from many shops. As for the eye-catcher; it is meant for empty cans and drink cartons but is filled at least several times a week by antisocial neighbours who dump large rubbish bags full of junk in it, making the opening unusable and the rubbish ending up on the grass.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways nice to live here. Neighbours are generally friendly, you can walk the dog nicely. Lots of nice spots in the neighbourhood. Little litter on the streets. Sometimes a lot of dog poop. Lots of space. Green village. Also a beautiful village. I have no personal experience with the schools, but other people are satisfied with them. There is a public primary school and a Christian one. There are fun activities in summer, especially the festival week. The village is close to the motorway.
Auto-translated to English by AII think our neighbourhood is really nice, it's conveniently close to school and other places
Auto-translated to English by AIA very cosy neighbourhood with many amenities nearby, you have 2 supermarkets, a hairdresser, tattoo shop, several clothing stores, pharmacy, doctor and dentist and much more, so you basically have everything in the area. Also, many things are organised, for example in the playground for children.
