End-of-terrace houses for sale in Krimpenerwaard
End-of-terrace houses in Krimpenerwaard are in high demand and supply is limited. Here's what you need to know before making an offer.
End-of-terrace houses in the polder: what characterises supply in Krimpenerwaard
Krimpenerwaard is no ordinary housing market. The area consists of ribbon development of small villages along the rivers, interspersed with expansion neighbourhoods from the 1970s and 1980s. This has direct consequences for the type of end-of-terrace houses you encounter here. You will find relatively many terraced houses with an end position in quiet residential neighbourhoods, sometimes with a side strip of land belonging to the house. Detached houses in the village centre are scarce. New construction appears with some regularity, but the total supply remains limited.
End-of-terrace houses in Krimpenerwaard fall into the upper middle segment. They are popular with families looking for space, but also with buyers who consciously choose a green, quiet environment within cycling distance of Rotterdam. Supply varies; check the overview at the top of this page for current availability.

Five things you need to know before bidding on an end-of-terrace house
- The side wall is your responsibility. With an end-of-terrace house, an extra wall borders public land or a garden. This means more maintenance, but also more risk of moisture problems if the insulation or pointing is outdated. Always have this included in the structural survey.
- Boundary and side strip: check the land registry. Corner plots more often have unclear boundaries, especially in older expansion neighbourhoods. Check the cadastral extract for the exact plot boundary before making an offer.
- Parking on own land or not. Many end-of-terrace houses in Krimpenerwaard have space for a driveway or garage on the side. Check whether this is permitted and whether the driveway is actually used as a parking space. This strongly influences the value and living comfort.
- Ask about the HOA status in complexes. Is the end-of-terrace house in a block with an active homeowners' association (HOA)? Check whether there is a reserve fund and whether the contributions are up to date. A dormant HOA means deferred maintenance on shared parts.
- Quick response pays off. End-of-terrace houses are popular because of the extra greenery and light. In a tight market like Krimpenerwaard, they rarely stay online long. Set up a search and enable the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications, so you are immediately informed of new supply. The app is free to download via the App Store and Google Play.
- Pay attention to the zoning plan for extensions. An end position sometimes offers space for a side extension. Check in advance whether the zoning plan allows this and whether a permit is required. This varies per village in the municipality.
- Financing: banks look at usable floor area. Banks generally apply strict standards for homes under forty square metres. Most end-of-terrace houses in Krimpenerwaard are well above that, but check this for new-build apartments with an end position.
What determines the price level
End-of-terrace houses in Krimpenerwaard generally cost more than a comparable mid-terrace house on the same street. The factors that determine the price difference include: the size of the side plot, the presence of a garage or driveway, the condition of the extra wall, and the location relative to the village centre or water.
Homes near the rivers or with an unobstructed view over the polder are valued higher. Villages with better amenities also command higher prices. Current price indications can be found in the overview at the top of this page and via the reviews and neighbourhood data of Krimpenerwaard.

Have lived there for 42 years with full satisfaction! Only recently nothing has been done about the front and back gardens of various houses!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood was always good! But a lot of people are moving away, so we'll have to wait and see what the future brings.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople know each other and help each other, without constantly dropping by or violating each other's privacy. The houses are all about 100 years old or even older and belong to the historic village centre. The village has a lively, extensive shopping street where regular fairs and other events are organised. Here there are no large chain stores but mostly specialist quality shops that have often been run by the same family for generations. It is pleasant to live in Bergambacht
Auto-translated to English by AII mainly like the neighbourhood because I grew up here and still live here. That's why I know everything, and it's not a big neighbourhood either, which I also like. The people are okay, not a stingy neighbourhood or anything. Just few facilities for young people, like nice shops. I do think it's a shame that there is apparently one man who buys up a lot and then makes boring things out of it, like boring clothing stores for older people. As a result, the neighbourhood really becomes more for the elderly. Still, I am happy to live here because it is small and, for me, quite manageable, and it has the basics, and that's the most important thing. Accessibility by car to this neighbourhood is fine, but by public transport it's really poorly arranged. Sometimes you have to wait so long, for example at Capelse brug, for a bus here. So the public transport connection here could really be better.

Auto-translated to English by AIStolwijk is nice to live in. However, there is very little to no opportunity to move on to an affordable 55+ home. Apartments are very scarce and terribly expensive, over €400,000, which is not feasible for us.
