End-of-terrace houses for sale in Pijnacker-Nootdorp

Pijnacker-Nootdorp has quickly grown into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the Haaglanden region. New-build neighbourhoods such as Keizershof and Ackerswoude have significantly expanded the housing supply in recent years, but demand continues to outstrip supply. Within this, corner houses are a scarce category: they are snapped up quickly and rarely remain on the market for long.

What makes corner houses in Pijnacker-Nootdorp different from the rest

Corner houses are popular in this municipality for a few concrete reasons. They often sit on a larger plot than terraced houses, typically have an extra side window or side door, and offer more possibilities for an extension or garage. In the newer neighbourhoods, corner houses are also more likely to have a driveway or carport, which is a practical advantage in a municipality without a large city centre.

The market is dominated by owner-occupied properties. Rental corner houses are scarce; if you want to live here, you almost always buy. This makes the market competitive and the decision time short. View the current supply in the overview at the top of this page.

Side boundaries, property lines and what you need to arrange before making an offer

Buying a corner house comes with a few points of attention that do not apply, or apply less, to terraced houses:

• Property boundary and municipal land. Corner plots often border public green spaces or pavements. Check in the purchase agreement and land registry whether the side strip belongs to the house or is municipal land that you lease or use. This has direct implications for extensions, fencing and maintenance.
• Buildings insurance. A corner house has more wall surface area and therefore more exposure to wind and rain. Have the rebuilding value correctly assessed; underinsurance is a real risk here.
• Side wall and cavity wall. In older corner houses (1970s-80s), the side wall is sometimes less well insulated than the front and rear walls. Have this included in the structural survey.
• Parking options. Corner houses in Pijnacker-Nootdorp more often have their own driveway or the space to create one. Check the zoning plan to see if this can be done without a permit.
• Homeowners' association (VvE) for new-build. In new-build complexes where corner houses are part of a row with shared elements (roofs, facades), a VvE may apply. Ask the estate agent about this.
• Financing under 40m². Not applicable to most corner houses here, but be aware that banks are stricter with homes under 40m² of living space. Corner houses in Pijnacker-Nootdorp are well above that.
• Use the Buurtje.nl app. Corner houses sell quickly. With the free App Store or Google Play version of the Buurtje.nl app, you will receive a push notification as soon as new listings come online. This gives you an advantage over buyers who only search daily.

Price level: what to expect in the higher segment

Corner houses in Pijnacker-Nootdorp fall into the more expensive segment of the local market. Compared to terraced houses, you pay a premium for the extra plot and extra wall surface. That premium varies by neighbourhood, construction year and state of maintenance.

Factors influencing the price:

• Construction year (new-build from the 2000s onwards commands a higher price than 1980s housing)
• Presence of a driveway, garage or conservatory
• Location on a through road versus a residential street
• Energy label (A-labels are increasingly factored into bids)
• Size of the side plot and development possibilities

Which neighbourhood suits your search

Pijnacker-Nootdorp consists of a few clearly distinct centres. Each has its own character and a different composition of the housing supply.

• Pijnacker (8.1/10). The largest centre, with a mix of older buildings and newer expansions. More variety in types of corner houses, from 1980s terraces to recent projects. Good level of amenities with shops, schools and a train station.
• Nootdorp (8.0/10). Quieter centre, slightly more village-like in character. Corner houses here are more often located in quiet residential streets with little through traffic. Popular with families seeking space without the hustle and bustle of a larger town.
• Delfgauw (7.3/10). A relatively young neighbourhood with a lot of new-build. Corner houses here are more often part of larger projects, with a more consistent streetscape. Lower resident score, but that also reflects the shorter residential history of the neighbourhood.
