Buying a house in Maassluis: the housing market in 2026
Maassluis is a compact town on the Waterweg in South Holland, known for its steam tug service, historic city centre around the Grote Kerk and a surprisingly village-like character for a municipality just ten minutes from Rotterdam. With around 35,800 residents, it is small enough to know your neighbours, but large enough for good amenities. Its location is a major asset: via the A20 you are quickly in Rotterdam or The Hague, and with the metro (Hoekse Lijn) you can reach Rotterdam Central in 25 minutes. This makes Maassluis popular with commuters who want to avoid urban hustle and bustle without sacrificing accessibility.
The housing market is strong. Of the more than 16,000 homes, 54% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental (a large proportion of which are social housing via housing associations). The average WOZ value is €304,000, but actual selling prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 188 homes were sold for an average of €516,736. The range runs from around €150,000 for a compact apartment to €1,875,000 for the most expensive detached homes. Supply is relatively tight, which is reflected in selling times. At the top of this page you can see the current state of supply and the average selling time. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you look beyond just the home itself.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Maassluis

Kapelpolder, affordable and practical
Kapelpolder is a neighbourhood with a mix of terraced houses, apartments and social housing. The neighbourhood score is 7.6 out of 10. It is a good option for first-time buyers looking for an owner-occupied home in Maassluis without the top budget of Burgemeesterswijk. The neighbourhood is close to shopping centre Koningshoek and has a direct bus connection to Vlaardingen and Rotterdam. However, the neighbourhood is somewhat less green than the neighbourhoods on the outskirts. Discover the available homes in Kapelpolder.
Sluispolder, living in the historic heart
Sluispolder is the oldest part of Maassluis, with the Grote Kerk, the Gemeenlandshuis and the harbour as highlights. Residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.2 out of 10. The character is lively: you live above a café or in a renovated 17th-century building. For those considering buying an apartment in Maassluis with character, this is the place. The downside: parking is difficult and the homes are sometimes smaller and older. View what is for sale in Sluispolder.
In addition, there are other interesting neighbourhoods. Wilgenrijk is the newest expansion neighbourhood with energy-efficient new-build, popular with young families. Steendijkpolder offers a mix of 1990s homes and is close to sports facilities. And Aalkeetpolder is a smaller neighbourhood with a rural edge on the west side. On the municipal page of Maassluis you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood.
What to look out for when buying a home in Maassluis?
Firstly: look beyond the most popular neighbourhoods. Burgemeesterswijk and Dijkpolder are sought-after, but Kapelpolder and Taanschuurpolder sometimes offer better value for money. Especially if you are willing to renovate a home, you can buy more competitively here.
Secondly: the market in Maassluis is tight. With 188 sales in the past year and limited supply, you need to act quickly. Overbidding occurs, especially for homes under €400,000. Make sure your financing is in order before you start viewing.
Thirdly: accessibility varies by neighbourhood. Sluispolder and Kapelpolder are close to the Hoekse Lijn, but in Wilgenrijk you are more dependent on the car or bus. Consider how you travel daily. And if buying is not (yet) feasible, also check out rental homes in Maassluis as an intermediate step.
Finally: use neighbourhood data in your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can see per neighbourhood how residents rate safety, greenery, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just the sales brochure.

Auto-translated to English by AIPlus: atmospheric, close to amenities, characteristic houses Min: nuisance from mice, neighbours often on the street for coffee/drinks or even BBQ, poor parking. Maintenance by the municipality is mediocre: lots of weeds, often rubbish on the street
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is quiet and all my neighbours are kind and simply respectful. I would never want to move as long as I have such nice neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AINice, cosy, quiet street. Lots of elderly people, which makes it a quiet neighbourhood. Here we look out for each other and are there for each other when needed. Once a year we get together to fill the hanging baskets, which we also maintain together. A low score for safety, and this is because of the youngsters who come from the nightlife in the village, are cheeky, make noise and even ring doorbells at night!!
