End-of-terrace houses for sale in Meppel
End-terraced houses in Meppel are rarely available on the market and sell quickly. On this page you will find practical information about the supply, neighbourhoods and buying tips.
Meppel and the corner house: what defines the supply
Meppel is not a city where you can blindly count on a corner house. The supply in this Drenthe municipality is limited and moves slowly. Corner houses here are more common in post-war expansion neighbourhoods than in the centre, and they change owners less quickly than in large cities. This makes the market for those actively searching both clear and frustrating: when something becomes available, competition is immediate.
Corner houses in Meppel attract a wide audience: families looking for space, first-time buyers who want a bit more than a terraced house, and people returning to the region. The mid-range segment dominates. For current numbers and price trends: see the overview at the top of this page.
What you need to know before making an offer
Buying a corner house in Meppel requires specific preparation. These are the points that really matter:
- Side facade and property boundary. Corner houses border public space or an alley. Always check the cadastral boundary. Extensions, fences or canopies on or over the boundary will cause legal problems later.
- Two facades, twice the maintenance. A corner house has more exterior surface than a terraced house. Request the building inspection specifically for the side facade and the roof slope above the side facade.
- Easements. Check the deed for easements, such as a right of way for neighbours or the municipality. In older Meppel neighbourhoods, these are more common than you might expect.
- Speed of response. Corner houses in Meppel rarely stay on the market for long. Ensure your financing has been discussed with a mortgage advisor in advance so you can act quickly.
- Parking at the corner. Corner houses are often located on a side street or junction. Check whether there is a private driveway or if street parking is the norm. In busy neighbourhoods, this can become a daily annoyance.
- Push notifications for new listings. Install the free Buurtje.nl app and set up a search for corner houses in Meppel. The app sends a push notification as soon as new listings appear, so you can be the first to respond. Download via the App Store or Google Play, both free.
- Viewing on a weekday and weekend. Schedule a viewing at different times. A corner house on a quiet street on Saturday can feel very different on a weekday morning due to school traffic or commuter movements.
Price level: what makes a corner house more expensive or cheaper
Corner houses in Meppel are in the mid-range of the owner-occupied market. They generally cost more than comparable terraced houses on the same street, but less than detached houses. What drives the price up:
- Private driveway or garage on the side
- Larger garden due to the corner shape
- More light from two external walls
- Location in a popular neighbourhood with a high resident score
What pushes the price down: deferred maintenance on the side facade, a busy junction location, or an easement that limits building or usage options. See the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices. Also check the reviews and neighbourhood data of Meppel for context on neighbourhoods and liveability.

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house cost in Meppel?
Corner houses in Meppel typically fall in the mid-range of the owner-occupied market. They are almost always more expensive than comparable terraced houses on the same street, partly due to the larger garden and extra external wall. Specific asking prices vary by neighbourhood and time. Check the overview at the top of this page for current prices.
How can I quickly find a corner house for sale in Meppel?
Corner houses in Meppel rarely stay on the market for long. The fastest way to be the first to respond is to install the free Buurtje.nl app and set up a search. You will then receive an instant push notification as soon as new listings appear. The app is free to download from the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
What legal aspects should I consider with a corner house?
Always check the cadastral boundaries of the side facade and the plot. Corner houses often border public areas or an alley, which raises questions about property boundaries regarding extensions or fences. Also check whether there are easements in the deed, such as a right of way. In older Meppel neighbourhoods, these are common and they restrict what you can do with the plot.
Which neighbourhoods in Meppel are most suitable for a corner house?
Berggierslanden (9.5/10) and Ezinge (9.0/10) score highest among residents and have relatively many terraced houses with corner plots. Koedijkslanden (8.6/10) and Nijeveen (8.5/10) offer slightly more space and a quieter living environment. In the Centre (8.9/10), corner houses are less frequent but more characteristic in construction.
What about parking with a corner house in Meppel?
Corner houses are often located on a side street or intersection, which can sometimes make parking more difficult than it seems. Not all corner houses have their own driveway or garage. Check during the viewing whether there are sufficient parking options in the immediate vicinity, and also visit the house on a weekday morning to get a realistic picture of the congestion.
On the row where I live, there is a cosy side of the street; every summer we sit outside together.

Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is very observant... still a young people's neighbourhood with many differences of opinion. The playground that is surrounded by watchful eyes and also when there is a bike four-day event, for example...
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is that there is plenty to do and in the summer they always have a fair with a performance, and my neighbours are always there for me.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with nice people. Plenty of facilities and educational locations.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a nice neighbourhood of our city. Have nice neighbours. But last Saturday we found out that our neighbour across the street had been lying dead in his house for 2.5 weeks, so there isn't much social contact. Hopefully more in 2025. Because I was really shocked by it.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, not very social; everyone has and does their own thing and it doesn't get any more exciting than that. There's enough education in the area, enough green space but could be better maintained!
