End-of-terrace houses for sale in Nijmegen
End-of-terrace houses in Nijmegen are in high demand and disappear quickly from the market. Check the current listings and read what you need to know before making an offer.
Nijmegen is a city with character: a university district next to a post-war expansion neighbourhood, a city centre next to a quiet family neighbourhood on the Waal. You notice this too when looking for a corner house. The supply is spread across neighbourhoods that differ greatly in atmosphere, and the market requires preparation.
The current supply can be found in all homes for sale in Nijmegen at the top of this page.
What makes the market for corner houses in Nijmegen special?
Corner houses are more popular than average in Nijmegen. They offer side windows, a larger garden and more light, advantages that weigh more heavily in a densely built city like Nijmegen than in the countryside. This makes them sought after by families, but also by people moving up from an apartment.
The supply is largely in the upper middle segment. Corner houses are almost always sold above the asking price in an active market. Those who search seriously notice that homes disappear from the market quickly. Current price indications are in the overview at the top of this page.
Buying a corner house in Nijmegen is also suitable for buyers who want more outdoor space without taking the step to a detached home. The downside: more maintenance, higher heating costs and sometimes extra responsibility for shared boundary lines.
Five neighbourhoods worth considering
Not every neighbourhood has as many corner houses for sale. The neighbourhoods below combine an above-average resident score with regular supply:
- Dukenburg (8.6/10): spacious post-war neighbourhood with lots of greenery and relatively many terraced houses. Corner houses come up regularly here.
- Lindenholt (8.5/10): quiet family neighbourhood in the south of the city, easily accessible via the A73. Popular with young families.
- Nijmegen-Zuid (8.3/10): varied supply, mix of older and newer homes. Close to the centre but with its own character.
- Nijmegen-Oud-West (8.0/10): older housing stock, characteristic 1930s buildings. Corner houses here sometimes have a larger plot but also more maintenance.
- Nijmegen-Oost (7.9/10): student neighbourhood and family neighbourhood at the same time, near Radboud University. Supply is limited but diverse.

Concrete tips for those looking for a corner house in Nijmegen
- Check the boundary lines. With a corner house, the plot borders public space or an adjacent plot. Have the cadastral boundaries checked before making an offer. Unclarities about maintenance of hedges or fences lead to conflicts later.
- Ask about the side wall. The side wall of a corner house is exposed to more wind and rain than a mid-terrace house. Have a structural survey carried out and pay specific attention to cavity wall insulation and roof edge.
- Pay attention to orientation. A side wall facing north means little sun in the side room. Check this during a viewing on a cloudy day, so you don't have false expectations.
- Respond quickly, but not hastily. In Nijmegen, corner houses are on the market for a short time on average. Make sure your financing is largely in order before you go viewing, so you can make an offer quickly.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. As soon as a new corner house in Nijmegen comes online, you receive an immediate notification. The app is free to download via the App Store and Google Play.
- Parking on own land. Many corner houses in Nijmegen have a driveway or garage. Check whether the driveway was constructed without a permit, because illegal exits can cause problems with the municipality during transfer.
- HOA or no HOA. Ground-level corner houses rarely fall under a homeowners' association, but in some new-build complexes this is different. Always ask the selling agent about this.
What determines the price of a corner house in Nijmegen?
Corner houses in Nijmegen fall into the upper middle segment of the owner-occupied market. The price is determined by a combination of factors:
- Location in the neighbourhood (corner on a busy road or on a quiet green space).
- Condition of the side wall and roof.
- Size of the side garden and presence of a driveway.
- Energy label: poorly insulated corner houses have higher heating costs, which buyers nowadays weigh heavily.
- Year of construction: 1930s homes in Nijmegen-Oud-West require a different approach than 1970s homes in Dukenburg.

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house cost in Nijmegen?
Corner houses in Nijmegen fall into the upper middle segment of the housing market. The price depends on the neighbourhood, year of construction, condition of the side facade and energy label. Current specific prices are listed in the overview at the top of this page.
How can I quickly find a corner house for sale in Nijmegen?
Corner houses in Nijmegen are often only listed online for a short time. The Buurtje.nl app sends you a free push notification as soon as new listings appear. Download the app for free from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and set up a search for corner houses in Nijmegen.
What legal aspects should I consider with a corner house?
Always check the cadastral property boundaries: with a corner house, the plot borders public space or a neighbouring plot, which can lead to ambiguity about maintenance. Also ask whether any driveway was built without a permit. In some new-build complexes, a corner house may fall under a Homeowners' Association (VvE), even if it is a ground-level property. Always have this investigated before you sign.
Which neighbourhoods in Nijmegen have the most supply of corner houses?
Dukenburg (resident score 8.6/10) and Lindenholt (8.5/10) have relatively many corner houses due to their spacious post-war layout. They also regularly become available in Nijmegen-Zuid (8.3/10) and Nijmegen-Oud-West (8.0/10). The current supply per neighbourhood can be seen at the top of this page.
Is parking regulated for a corner house in Nijmegen?
Many corner houses in Nijmegen have a driveway or garage, but that is not guaranteed. In older neighbourhoods such as Nijmegen-Oud-West, street parking is sometimes the only option. Also check whether the municipality has established a parking permit zone on the relevant street, as this can limit parking options for visitors.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is nice. There are kind people around you and you have people from young to old. There are shops nearby that I can quickly get to as a student, and homes that aren't too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for 25 years with great pleasure, but in recent years it has become very different. Previously, everyone knew each other and greeted each other. For the elderly, the front path was cleared when it snowed, errands were done, etc. If I hadn't seen someone for a while, I would go and ask how they were. And now... you hear that people lie dead in their homes for 4 weeks and no one notices. Pff, but luckily I'm not like that and I remain loyal to my neighbourhood and go and check in. But unfortunately, the sense of community is completely gone. Now new people move in and you don't even know their names. Very sad. I wish the old days could come back.
