Corner houses along the IJssel: what makes this offering different
Krimpen aan den IJssel is wedged between the river and the Rotterdam conurbation. This geographical fact also determines the housing market: expansion is hardly possible, so the supply is what it is. Corner houses are relatively scarce here. They are scattered across post-war and later expansion neighbourhoods, with the typical wide side gardens that make this type attractive. Anyone looking for a home for sale in Krimpen aan den IJssel and specifically filtering for corner houses will see in the overview at the top of this page how many are currently available.
The character of the supply is predominantly family-oriented. Corner houses in Krimpen aan den IJssel are usually terraced houses from the 1970s to the 1990s, sometimes with an extension or dormer window. They attract buyers who want space without taking the step to a detached house. First-time buyers here are in the upper middle segment, while movers recognise the price range as realistic but not cheap.
What you need to know before making an offer
- Side rights and boundary demarcations. A corner house borders public or municipal green space. Check the purchase agreement and land registry exactly where the property boundary runs. Residents sometimes use a strip of land for years that is not legally theirs.
- Two facades, two maintenance items. An extra external wall means more painting, more pointing work and more chance of damp problems. Have a structural survey done, even if the house looks good.
- Energy label. Older corner houses in Krimpen often have a lower energy label than mid-terrace houses because they have more external surface area. This affects your monthly costs and mortgage calculation.
- Speed of response. In a tight market, corner houses sell quickly. Make sure your financing is in order before you schedule viewings. A mortgage offer or at least an orientation meeting with an adviser is not a luxury.
- Sign up for push notifications. Via the free Buurtje.nl app you will receive a notification as soon as a new corner house becomes available in Krimpen aan den IJssel. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play. The app is free.
- Parking. Corner houses sometimes have their own driveway or the possibility to create one. Ask whether the municipality grants permission without a permit, or whether there are zoning plan restrictions.
- HOA or no HOA. Ground-level corner houses rarely fall under a homeowners' association, but if there is a shared garage or carport, that may be different. Check this with the estate agent.
Price level: what determines the value of a corner house here
Corner houses in Krimpen aan den IJssel fall into the upper middle segment. They are structurally higher than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the extra land and the extra facade. Current prices and the current number of available homes can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors that push the price up: a spacious side plot, a driveway or garage, recently renovated kitchen or bathroom, and a favourable location relative to the Hollandsche IJssel or the centre. Factors that push it down: a low energy label, deferred maintenance on the side facade, and a busy road directly next to the side plot.

Rotterdam as an alternative or point of comparison
Anyone considering buying a corner house in Krimpen aan den IJssel often also looks at Rotterdam.

Whether that suits better depends on your wishes regarding commuting distance, school choice and type of neighbourhood.

beautiful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AINeat houses, everything is generally well maintained, shops, schools, pharmacy etc. are plentiful and easily accessible. There are many places for children to play. Unfortunately, the feeling of safety has been decreasing for me in recent years.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood. A bit boring for young people, but you have everything you need, the basics are there. Schools, GP, pharmacy, shops. I personally really like the late-night shop. If you've forgotten something, which can happen, you still have that shop that's open until late, super handy. The residents here are mostly middle-aged, elderly, and religious people. Which makes the atmosphere a bit grey, I think. I prefer a smaller village, but here you are close to Rotterdam.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here since I was five and in my opinion this is a super cosy neighbourhood with almost only very friendly people who really involve you in the community. Also, everything is within walking distance or even easier by bike, which is very nice if you want to use the car less or don't have a car. There are always fun activities organised during holidays that bring the community together. In terms of education, there is a lot on offer with several primary schools in the area and the secondary school is called Krimpenerwaardcollege, but you could also go to two other secondary schools that are within cycling distance. There are several parks in the area and a large meadow, so if you like nature that's super nice. All in all, it's a very good neighbourhood and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a house to take a look here.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only just moved here, but my impression is: quiet and beautiful. It's a bit of a sleepy village, but supermarkets are a 5-minute bike ride away, which is very nice. In Krimpen there are two shopping centres, which I think is well organised. In addition, there are also individual shops here and there. Running opportunities could be better, especially in the dark and as a girl. For example, it's a few minutes' run before you reach an uninhabited area in a forest where you can run freely without cars, but in the evening there are no lights there. Which is a shame, because running in a neighbourhood with only cars and cyclists and other road users, and on uneven roads with loose stones, is not pleasant at all. For the rest, I live on a nice street in a very nice house with my parents.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for half a year and it's a fantastic neighbourhood. Neighbours keep in touch and help each other when needed. You can always come and borrow something, and you're offered help if things aren't going well. If you don't feel like talking, they don't think it's strange and leave you alone. In short, a very pleasant neighbourhood to live together in.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a neighbourhood with many people, many people also cycle by and leave a lot of litter behind. The patch of grass on my street is no longer grass but a bush of shrubs that damage cars, and everyone drives too fast in my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIResidents chat with each other, children can play safely on the street.
