Buying a house in Landgraaf: the housing market in 2026
Landgraaf is located in the hilly landscape of South Limburg, wedged between Heerlen and Kerkrade, a stone's throw from the German border. The municipality was formed from the merger of Schaesberg, Nieuwenhagen and Ubach over Worms and has over 37,000 inhabitants. Landgraaf is best known for Snowworld and the festival grounds of Megaland, but for residents it's all about the combination of affordable living, green hills and proximity to amenities in Parkstad. The housing market is predominantly owner-occupied: 63% of the more than 18,000 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 36% rented. The average WOZ value is €249,000, while the average selling price over the past twelve months is €352,863. The range is remarkably wide, from €128,000 for a compact apartment to €1,899,000 for the most expensive detached villa. This makes Landgraaf interesting for both first-time buyers and those moving up the property ladder. The average living area of 152 m² shows that you still get plenty of space for your money here, especially compared to the Randstad. At the top of this page you will find the current supply and the most recent asking prices. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Landgraaf
Landgraaf consists of three main centres, each further divided into smaller neighbourhoods. Although the municipality is compact, the residential character differs considerably per district. Below are the three centres with their strengths and points to consider.
Schaesberg, the highest-rated centre of Landgraaf
Schaesberg is the largest centre and scores the highest among residents on Buurtje.nl with an 8.7 out of 10 (based on 5 reviews). Here you will find the centre with shops along the Hoofdstraat, the Strijthagerpark and a direct connection to the A76. The housing stock ranges from 1960s terraced houses to newer semi-detached homes around the Brunssummerheide. Families choose Schaesberg because of the primary schools, the green character and the relatively short distance to Heerlen. Prices here are slightly above the municipal average, especially in the neighbourhoods towards the heath. One resident writes: "Nice, green neighbourhood with good accessibility and friendly neighbours." View the housing supply in Schaesberg for the current situation.
Nieuwenhagen, quiet living with a German border feel
Nieuwenhagen lies in the east of the municipality, close to the German border. Residents give this centre a 7.7 out of 10. It is a quiet, predominantly residential district with many single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. The Markt of Nieuwenhagen offers basic amenities, and for larger shopping trips you can drive to Kerkrade or Germany within five minutes. Prices per square metre are generally lower here than in Schaesberg, making Nieuwenhagen attractive for first-time buyers and young families looking for space. If you are looking for a home with a garden without paying top prices, this is a good place to be. Discover the available homes in Nieuwenhagen.
Ubach over Worms, affordable but with caveats
Ubach over Worms is the northernmost centre and scores the lowest of the three with a 5.9 out of 10. This deserves nuance: it is based on only 2 reviews, but the lower score does reflect that some neighbourhoods struggle with an ageing population and less well-maintained public spaces. At the same time, Ubach over Worms is the most affordable part of Landgraaf. Here you will find compact terraced houses and miners' homes that change hands for prices under €200,000. For buyers with a limited budget who are willing to invest in sustainability, this centre offers opportunities. View what is for sale in Ubach over Worms.
In addition to these three centres, Landgraaf has several smaller neighbourhoods. Around the Brunssummerheide you will find villa districts with higher prices, while neighbourhoods such as Kakert and Leenhof have a more urban character. On the municipality page of Landgraaf you can read all reviews and find a complete overview of the districts.
What to look out for when buying a home in Landgraaf?
Firstly: look beyond just the centre you are searching in. The price difference between Ubach over Worms and the villa neighbourhoods near Schaesberg can be up to three times as much. Map out in advance which amenities you need and how far you are willing to drive. Secondly: many homes in Landgraaf were built in the 1960s and 1970s, in the aftermath of the mining industry. Pay close attention to the state of maintenance, insulation and any mining damage. A structural survey is not a luxury here but a necessity. Thirdly: accessibility varies per neighbourhood. Schaesberg has a direct slip road onto the A76, but from Nieuwenhagen you are reliant on provincial roads towards Heerlen or Kerkrade. Check whether your daily route is workable before making an offer. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to get a fair picture of what it is really like to live in a specific street or neighbourhood. Are you considering renting instead? Then also check the rental homes in Landgraaf as an alternative.

Suriname needs trees next to the benches to provide shade in summer. Many cars park around the square and at the entrance of Kieskoel flat, which makes the space in the street and at the flat entrance very small. There are too many parking spaces available near the square where cars can park safely without obstructing the street. Dog owners let their dogs poop and don't clean up, and children play here. A fine should be introduced so that all dog owners will clean up and children can find a safe and healthy playground.

Auto-translated to English by AII came to live here 17 years ago, but I haven't been able to connect because I'm an outsider and I find that very upsetting, which makes me very lonely here. Grandkids went to school here. Everything I've mentioned here could do with a change.

Auto-translated to English by AIOud Nieuwehagen is a beautiful neighbourhood to live in. The people (neighbours) here still do things for each other. Here we look out for one another and if something is up, we are there for each other. This is a neighbourhood where many families with young children live. There are also plenty of primary schools and secondary schools. The shops are accessible for young and old alike. Personally, I find it a very pleasant neighbourhood and I'm glad I live here.

We don't visit each other every day, but we know how to find each other when something happens, and then we're there for one another. That's a given for us, without any obligations. Also for the children and the elderly, a very nice neighbourhood.
