For the current supply and the average asking price at this moment, see the overview at the top of this page.
Apartments are hardly found in Nijeveen. The supply consists mainly of ground-floor homes, from terraced houses in newer expansion neighbourhoods to older farmhouses on the edges of the village. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Nijeveen will notice that this segment is virtually absent. This makes Nijeveen particularly interesting for people looking for space, but less suitable if you are looking for a smaller, cheaper entry-level home.
