Semi-detached houses for sale in Huizen
Semi-detached houses in Huizen are scarce and are in the higher segment. Current supply and price data can be found directly in the overview above.
Houses and semi-detached homes: what makes this type special here
Huizen has a recognisable living profile: many family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, spacious plots towards the Gooimeer, and a buyer's market consisting mainly of owners who stay for a long time. The latter makes the supply of semi-detached homes scarce. Those actively searching notice that homes sell quickly and there is little room for hesitation.
Semi-detached homes in Huizen are in the higher segment. They mainly attract families who want more space than a terraced house offers, but do not want or cannot take the step to a detached home. The type fits well with the scale of the municipality: no big-city hustle, but good connections to Amsterdam and the Gooi region.

What a semi-detached home in Huizen costs and what determines the price
Concrete amounts are in the overview at the top of this page. What you can expect: this type of home belongs to the more expensive segment of the buyer's market in Huizen. A number of factors determine the price difference between homes.
- Location relative to the water. Homes closer to the Gooimeer or the harbour area are generally more expensive.
- Year of construction and state of maintenance. 1970s homes with original frames and no insulation are valued differently than renovated ones.
- Plot size and garden orientation. A south- or west-facing garden influences the asking price.
- Shared wall and its condition. With a semi-detached home, you partly share the building envelope with the neighbour. Defects in the partition wall or roof can be costly to repair, especially if the neighbour does not cooperate.
Practical tips for buying a semi-detached home in Huizen
- Always ask about the partition deed or property boundaries. With a semi-detached home, it is not always obvious who owns which part of the roof, foundation or partition wall. Have this investigated by a notary before you make an offer.
- Pay attention to the HOA status. Some semi-detached homes in Huizen have a small Homeowners' Association for shared maintenance. Ask if there is a reserve fund and if the administration is in order. No HOA means that agreements with the neighbour are informal, which can cause problems with major maintenance.
- Have a structural survey done. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s may contain asbestos in the partition walls or roof. This is especially relevant for a semi-detached home because remediation affects the adjoining part.
- Allow for double viewings. In Huizen, popular homes sell quickly. Schedule a second viewing as early as possible so you can bring a surveyor without delay.
- Enable push notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends you a notification as soon as a new semi-detached home becomes available in Huizen. This way you can respond as one of the first. Download the app via the App Store or Google Play.
- Check the easements in the land registry. Some plots in Huizen have right-of-way or building restrictions that are not always in the sales brochure.
- Ask about the energy performance of both halves. If you insulate your half well but the neighbour does not, heat transfer through the shared wall remains a point of attention. Discuss this before the purchase.
Neighbourhoods in Huizen where semi-detached homes are found
Not every neighbourhood in Huizen has the same supply or atmosphere. Below is an overview of the most relevant neighbourhoods, based on resident ratings.
- Wijk 11 Bovenmaten (resident rating 8.3/10). The best-rated neighbourhood in Huizen. Quiet, green and predominantly family homes. Semi-detached homes here are sought after and rarely come on the market.
- Wijk 08 Huizermaat West en Zuid (resident rating 6.9/10). A mixed neighbourhood with more turnover. Slightly wider supply, but also more competition from buyers consciously choosing a more affordable option.

What does a semi-detached house cost in Huizen?
Semi-detached houses in Huizen are in the higher segment of the owner-occupied market. Specific prices change quickly and are listed in the overview at the top of this page. The price is determined by factors such as location, year of construction, plot size, and the condition of the shared roof and party wall.

What legal aspects should I consider with a semi-detached house?
Always check the property boundaries in the deed of division: who owns which part of the roof, the foundation, and the party wall? Also ask whether there is a Homeowners' Association (VvE) and whether it has a reserve fund for shared maintenance. Without clear agreements, conflicts with the neighbour over major repairs can be costly. Have this investigated by a notary before purchase.

Wijk 08 Huizermaat West and Zuid (6.9/10) has more turnover and a slightly wider range. The Havengebied (6.4/10) appeals due to its proximity to water.

Is parking a problem with semi-detached houses in Huizen?
In most residential areas of Huizen, parking is not a major issue. Semi-detached houses usually have a driveway or garage. Check whether the driveway belongs to the house or is shared with the neighbour, and whether there are restrictions on its use. In the harbour area, parking pressure may be higher in the summer months due to recreational traffic.
Cozy atmosphere
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 20 years and have seen the neighbourhood go downhill like crazy
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice, pleasant neighbourhood with friendly people, a nice park nearby, supermarket also very close, and the schools too. It's a nice place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AILoitering youths cause nuisance and it goes on very late, and I really don't feel safe in my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. There's a lot of rubbish and the drains are regularly blocked. People drive extremely fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Many work vans and trucks drive through our street to make the route to Havenstraat easier. Because the industrial estate borders our residential area, there is almost never any parking space for us residents. The garage that is there parks its cars in our neighbourhood because it can no longer accommodate them itself. There is also a gym where all members park in the neighbourhood. As a result, we often have to walk far to get to our homes. The neighbourhood is not child-friendly due to the heavy traffic and there is little to do. There is a playground but they cannot go there safely. It would be ideal if there were one-way traffic. And more rubbish bins.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that not much exciting happens, sometimes a small incident but nothing that gets completely out of hand.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. The flat I find less attractive. Lots of nature. Beautiful houses. Friendly people.
