Terraced houses for sale in Hoorn
Terraced houses in Hoorn are in high demand and supply is limited. On this page you will find the current supply, neighbourhood information and practical buying tips.
Terraced houses in Hoorn: what you'll really find here
Hoorn is not a city where you can quickly pick up a terraced house. The housing market is balanced but supply is limited, and terraced houses in the upper middle segment sell quickly. Those who search here often do so deliberately: the city centre, the proximity to water and the direct train connection to Amsterdam make Hoorn attractive for first-time buyers who can no longer afford Amsterdam, but also for families who consciously choose a smaller city.
Terraced houses make up a large part of the owner-occupied stock in Hoorn. You'll find them spread across both post-war expansion neighbourhoods and newer planned districts. The supply varies greatly per neighbourhood: from compact terraced houses from the 1970s to more spacious new-build homes on the edge of the city. Check the current overview at the top of this page for the latest listings and their prices.
What to look out for when buying a terraced house in Hoorn
- Year of construction and insulation. Many terraced houses in Hoorn date from the 1960s to the 1980s. Check the energy label and ask about the condition of the cavity wall, roof and glazing. Poor insulation will cost you more each month than you think.
- Boundaries and fences. With terraced houses, boundaries with neighbours are sometimes never formally recorded. Ask the notary or check the land registry for the exact plot boundaries, especially for homes with an extended kitchen or extension.
- Parking per neighbourhood. In neighbourhoods like Hoorn-Noord and Risdam-Noord, parking on your own property is less common. Check whether a parking permit is required and what the waiting time is. This varies per street.
- HOA-like arrangements for terraced houses. Some rows have joint maintenance of roofs or facades arranged through a residents' association. Ask if there are ongoing agreements or contributions, even if there is no formal homeowners' association.
- Bidding behaviour in Hoorn. When buying a terraced house in Hoorn, viewings are scheduled quickly and bidding periods are short. Make sure your financing is already in order so you can make an offer immediately.
- Set up push notifications. New listings disappear quickly here. Enable free push notifications via the Buurtje.nl app, available in the App Store and on Google Play. The app is free and will send you a notification as soon as a new property matches your search criteria.
- Mortgage for small homes. Banks scrutinise homes under 40m². Terraced houses in Hoorn rarely fall below that, but always check this for compact homes in older neighbourhoods.
What determines the price of a terraced house here?
Terraced houses in Hoorn fall into the upper middle segment. This has several causes. The location relative to Amsterdam plays a role: buyers searching in the region also end up here. Additionally, the neighbourhood carries significant weight. A terraced house in the Binnenstad or Blokker typically commands more than a similar property in Risdam-Zuid.
Other factors influencing the price:
- Energy label (A or B gives more room in the mortgage)
- Presence of a garage or driveway
- Extension or roof addition (permitted or not)
- Condition of the kitchen and bathroom
- View and location relative to water or greenery

Looking outside Hoorn too?
If the supply in Hoorn is disappointing, it's wise to broaden your search. The region offers alternatives, although they are not always cheaper. Those who want more choice in terraced houses in the region can also look at terraced houses in Amsterdam. Note: the market there is even tighter and the price level is generally higher. It can be useful to keep an eye on both markets simultaneously so you can act quickly when something becomes available.
Want to stay flexible while you search? Also consider the option of renting temporarily: renting terraced houses in Hoorn gives you time to make a good purchase decision without pressure.

After living here for 12 years, the neighbourhood is going downhill, especially the street next door where there are many rental homes, many people live who don't treat fellow residents very well. Lots of litter lying around, messy gardens and loud talking, shouting and antisocial fatbike drivers who honk unnecessarily. Also leaving rubbish behind and hoping it will eventually be collected by waste collection services. There are schools but not enough types of education.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very nice neighbourhood, everything you need in terms of supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. is within a maximum of 10 minutes by bike and therefore easily accessible. I don't have a lot of contact with my neighbours myself, and there aren't really any neighbourhood barbecues or cosy events/gatherings with the neighbourhood. My parents are a bit better friends with the neighbours. It is a very hygienic neighbourhood. There is a forest in the area, so there is certainly nature, but I do think there is too much manicured nature, which I think is a shame.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood! Cosy streets and nice architecture. Friendly and sociable people live here. Nice and quiet with no through traffic.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of nuisance, especially at night. Loudly talking youths and dealers/cars in the parking lot.. a lot of rubbish on pavements and in bushes.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 10 years and I'm happy here, sometimes things do happen but in which neighbourhood in Kersenboogerd doesn't that happen. Because why is someone arrested in front of my house by undercover police and people in my neighbourhood are always loud and that could be a bit less for me. Other than that, I think it's fine to live here for a few more years.
