What characterises end-of-terrace houses in Oegstgeest
End-of-terrace houses in Oegstgeest are not a uniform category. You will find them in quiet 1950s neighbourhoods with wide plots, but also in newer expansions on the edges of the municipality. The common feature: they are scarce. Oegstgeest is small and the built-up area is largely complete. New supply comes almost exclusively through onward moves.
End-of-terrace houses attract a broad group of buyers: families looking for space, people wanting a home office, or buyers who value side outdoor space and more light. This broad audience makes competition fiercer than for mid-terrace houses.

What determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Oegstgeest
End-of-terrace houses in Oegstgeest fall into the higher segment of the Leiden region. This has several causes.
- Location within the municipality. An end-of-terrace house on a quiet street in Oud Oegstgeest costs more than a similar house on a busy road in a newer neighbourhood.
- Plot width and side garden area. More land almost always means a higher asking price, especially in a municipality with limited expansion space.
- State of maintenance and energy label. Homes with a poor label are becoming increasingly difficult to finance. Banks are critical, and buyers increasingly factor in sustainability costs in their bids.
- Leasehold or freehold. Always check this. Leasehold structurally affects financing options and monthly costs.

Practical tips for buying an end-of-terrace house in Oegstgeest
- Check the side facade for maintenance. End-of-terrace houses have more facade surface than mid-terrace houses. Deferred maintenance on the side facade is a common cost that buyers miss during viewings.
- Watch out for easements. Corner plots often border public areas or neighbouring plots on multiple sides. Ask the notary about easements, such as right of way or building restrictions on the side strip.
- Ask about the foundation. In the Leiden region, including Oegstgeest, wooden pile foundations occur. Have this investigated before you make an offer, not after.
- Parking on own land or not? End-of-terrace houses sometimes have space for a driveway, but this is not a given. Check the municipal parking standards if you want to create a driveway: permits are not always automatic.
- Set up a search alert in the free Buurtje.nl app. The app sends you a push notification as soon as a new end-of-terrace house comes up for sale in Oegstgeest. Download is free via the App Store or Google Play. In a tight market, every minute of advance notice counts.
- Do not bid without a structural survey. The sales pressure in Oegstgeest is high, but an end-of-terrace house with hidden defects will cost you more in the long run than a missed bidding opportunity.
- Explore nearby municipalities. If the supply in Oegstgeest is too limited, also consider end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam as a broader search area.

Is parking a problem with a corner house in Oegstgeest?
Not necessarily, but it is not a given either. Some corner houses have space for a driveway, but constructing one requires a municipal permit. Oegstgeest applies parking standards that do not always automatically grant permission for a new driveway. Inquire about this in advance if having your own parking spot is a requirement.
My neighbourhood is always very cosy, with children playing outside and also the annual neighbourhood barbecues. The amenities are absolutely great, we have a Kruidvat, Jumbo, florist and barber around the corner, and also varied stalls during the week, such as mabroek, Vietnamese spring rolls, cheese and a fishmonger. There is also almost never any unrest in our area, very neat and polite people. Nice playgrounds and benches along the water and also a large green park nearby. It is close to the motorway which is handy for the car and public transport is also fine. We have 3 bus lines that pass by in the area, and the nearest one is only a 5-minute walk away. Furthermore, the hygiene is great, always very clean and almost no litter. We have a GP practice in the area and a primary school.

Somewhere where the youngsters can play football/basketball and so on. Supermarket nearby (Lidl) and a shopping centre within cycling distance. Beach not too far away either, and the city too. Actually just a really lovely neighbourhood!
