Hoogeveen: a market where terraced houses sell quickly
Hoogeveen is not a city where you can wait indefinitely. The supply of terraced houses is reasonably varied for a medium-sized Drenthe municipality, but anyone seriously considering buying a terraced house in Hoogeveen knows that the affordable segments disappear quickly. It's not the Randstad frenzy, but don't underestimate the speed. Terraced houses are popular in Hoogeveen among first-time buyers and small families, precisely because they offer a practical middle ground: more space than an apartment, less maintenance than a detached house.
The supply ranges from older terraced houses in the centre to newer ones in expansion neighbourhoods. View the current supply and associated figures in the overview of all homes for sale in Hoogeveen at the top of this page.
What to look out for with a terraced house: points of attention for this type
A terraced house has two adjoining neighbours, and that has practical consequences that you don't have with a detached house. Think of:
- Shared walls and sound insulation. Always ask about the construction period. Houses built before 1980 often have thin cavity walls without additional insulation. Have this included in a structural survey.
- Boundaries and fencing. With terraced houses, boundaries sometimes run through existing fences. Check the land registry before you sign.
- Buildings insurance and Homeowners' Association (VvE). Terraced houses do not have a VvE, but check whether joint roof or gutter maintenance has been agreed with the neighbours. This can be legally binding.
- Extensions and permits. Many terraced houses in Hoogeveen have a back garden with extension potential. Check whether previous renovations have been permitted. Unauthorised extensions become your problem upon sale.
- Energy label. Banks are increasingly critical of the energy label when calculating mortgages. A label E or lower can affect the maximum mortgage.
- Parking situation. Hoogeveen has sufficient parking space in most residential areas, but in the older neighbourhoods around the centre, parking on private property is rarer for terraced houses.
What determines the price of terraced houses in Hoogeveen
Hoogeveen is in the mid-range when it comes to purchase prices in Drenthe. Terraced houses here are relatively affordable compared to the Randstad, but asking prices vary depending on a number of factors:
- Location in the neighbourhood (centre or expansion area)
- Year of construction and state of maintenance
- Presence of a garage or driveway
- Energy label and recently carried out insulation
- Size of the garden and possibilities for extension

Practical tips for those currently actively searching
The market for terraced houses in Hoogeveen requires an active approach. These are the most effective steps:
- Have a mortgage offer ready. Sellers and estate agents take bids without financing confirmation less seriously. Arrange this in advance.
- Set up a search alert with notifications. Download the free Buurtje.nl app and receive push notifications as soon as new supply becomes available. Available via the App Store and Google Play, completely free.
- Schedule viewings quickly. Popular terraced houses are sometimes online for only a few days. Don't wait until the weekend.
- Have a structural survey carried out. Especially for houses built before 1990, this is not a luxury. Hidden defects in the roof, foundation or installations are common.
- Also consider renting as an intermediate step. If you cannot or do not want to buy immediately, renting a terraced house in Hoogeveen can be a temporary solution while you search.
- Be realistic about overbidding. In the mid-range in Hoogeveen, bids above the asking price are common. Determine your maximum limit in advance and stick to it.
- Check the zoning plan and future developments. Especially in expansion neighbourhoods, there may be plans for new construction that affect your view or parking space.
Also look outside Hoogeveen?
If the supply in Hoogeveen disappoints or prices are beyond your budget, the region is worth exploring. Terraced houses in Emmen offer a similar price level with sometimes more supply. Emmen is a short drive away and has its own neighbourhoods with a diverse supply for those considering buying a terraced house outside the municipal boundaries.

What about parking with terraced houses in Hoogeveen?
In most expansion neighbourhoods of Hoogeveen, parking is well arranged, often with a driveway or parking space at the house. In the older neighbourhoods around the centre, parking on private property is less common for terraced houses. Always check this in advance, especially if you have multiple cars or want to install a charging station.
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.
