Buying a house in Nissewaard: the housing market in 2026
Nissewaard is the municipality on the island of Voorne-Putten that arose from the merger of Spijkenisse and Bernisse. It is a place where you combine urban amenities with village tranquillity, a stone's throw from Rotterdam. Many residents work in the Rotterdam port or on the Maasvlakte, and via the metro (line D towards Rotterdam Centraal) you are in the city centre within half an hour. This combination of accessibility and relatively affordable homes makes Nissewaard attractive for families and first-time buyers who do not want to leave the Randstad but are looking for more space.
The housing market in Nissewaard is predominantly owner-occupied: 59% of the more than 40,000 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 42% rental. The average WOZ value is €279,000, but actual transaction prices are higher. Over the past twelve months, 472 homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €412,097. The range is wide: from around €200,000 for an apartment to €1,295,000 for the most expensive detached homes. The average floor area of sold homes is 110 m². At the top of this page you will find current asking prices and time on market. Buurtje.nl bundles listings from more than 1,500 sources and shows the neighbourhood score and resident reviews for each home, so you look beyond just the sale price.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Nissewaard
Nissewaard has fifteen neighbourhoods, from the busy city centre of Spijkenisse to the small village cores like Geervliet and Abbenbroek. Each neighbourhood has its own character and price level. Below are the most relevant neighbourhoods for buyers, including the neighbourhood scores that residents give on this platform.
Centrum: the beating heart of Spijkenisse
The centre of Spijkenisse is the place where you have everything at hand: Kopspijker shopping centre, the Boekenberg (the striking library), the metro station and a wide range of hospitality venues. Residents give this neighbourhood a strong 8.4 as a neighbourhood score. You will mainly find apartments and terraced houses here, suitable for first-time buyers and singles who enjoy liveliness. Prices are slightly below the municipal average, making a home in Centrum an interesting option for those who want to hop on the metro quickly.
Heenvliet: village living with character
Heenvliet is one of the historic village cores of the former municipality of Bernisse. Think of a moat, a small church and narrow streets. Residents appreciate the village life here with an 8.2. It is quiet, green and the community is close-knit. Those who buy a house here consciously choose space and a slower pace. The homes are often larger and the prices per square metre are lower than in Spijkenisse itself. Check out the listings in Heenvliet if you want to live in a village without being far from the city.
Schenkel: spacious family homes and lots of greenery
Schenkel is a typical family neighbourhood on the south side of Spijkenisse, with spacious single-family homes, wide avenues and playgrounds. The neighbourhood score of 7.9 reflects residents' satisfaction with the green character and proximity to schools. One resident describes it as follows: "Nice, quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery and good schools in the area." Prices here are around or slightly above the municipal average, which fits the larger homes. View the available homes in Schenkel.
Maaswijk: views and water
Maaswijk lies on the northern edge of Spijkenisse, along the Oude Maas. The neighbourhood scores a 7.8 from residents and offers a mix of terraced houses and newer apartments. The water and dikes give the area an open feel. For movers who want to pay a bit more for views and space, the housing supply in Maaswijk is worth a look. Accessibility is good thanks to the proximity of the A15.
In addition to these neighbourhoods, there are more options. De Akkers (neighbourhood score 7.0) is an affordable neighbourhood with many social housing that is slowly changing due to private purchases. In Gildenwijk and Groenewoud you will find quiet residential streets with a mix of construction periods. And if you really want to live rurally, you can look at Abbenbroek or Geervliet, two villages with their own identity. All neighbourhood scores and reviews can be found on the municipality page of Nissewaard.
What to look out for when buying a home in Nissewaard?
Firstly: look carefully at the neighbourhood. The price differences within Nissewaard are large. Buying an apartment in De Elementen (neighbourhood score 6.8) is a very different choice from a terraced house in Heenvliet. Visit the neighbourhood at different times and talk to neighbours before making an offer.
Secondly: take market conditions into account. With 472 transactions in the past year and an average price of over €412,000, the market in Nissewaard is active. Homes in popular neighbourhoods like Centrum and Schenkel sell quickly. Check the current time on market at the top of this page to see how tight the market is at the moment.
Thirdly: pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood. The metro only stops in Spijkenisse (stations Centrum, De Akkers and Heemraadlaan). If you live in one of the villages, you are dependent on bus or car. Inform yourself via the website of the municipality of Nissewaard about planned infrastructure projects.
Finally: use neighbourhood data in your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can see per neighbourhood how residents score on safety, greenery, amenities and more. That gives you a fairer picture than just a Funda photo. Are you considering renting instead? Then also check out the rental homes in Nissewaard.

Nice residential area for families. All amenities present.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople have tried to break in, attack me, and pelt me with chemicals… the police are fortunately quick to arrive every time, but that still doesn't make the neighbourhood safe. A neighbour's house burned down in August and several homes are already under anti-squat management. Many loitering youths all day long because of the petrol station on the street, and they leave a lot of litter lying around. The area is nicely green and close to the Old Meuse.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery good, plain and simple. I grew up here without any hassle.
Auto-translated to English by AIShops within walking distance. Reasonably green area. Get along well with my neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood and all amenities are easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AII recently started living on my own here in de Kerckhoek. For friends who want to visit without a driver's license, it's not always easy to get here. There are buses to and from Zuidland every half hour or every hour, but from the bus station it's a 15-minute walk to reach de Kerckhoek.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 11 years. Everyone is kind to me. I am disabled myself but everyone is nice to me and helps where needed. We know almost everyone and are good friends with each other. Safety is quite good, not much happens and the kids are safe on the street. Also in terms of hygiene, I don't have much to complain about, maybe some young people making a mess but that is cleaned up well by the municipality. The housing is fine. The education is good. Lots of nature within a short walking distance. The facilities are good and the accessibility is great.
