Roosendaal and corner houses: what you need to know about this supply
Roosendaal is a compact West Brabant city where post-war expansion neighbourhoods define the streetscape. That is good news for anyone looking for a corner house: in neighbourhoods like Tolberg and Groot Kroeven, terraced houses with a corner position are relatively well represented. Yet the supply is limited. Corner houses come on the market less often than mid-terrace houses, and as soon as they appear on Funda, they go quickly.
The market in Roosendaal is balanced compared to the big cities, but that does not mean it is quiet. Corner houses in the sought-after family neighbourhoods are snapped up quickly, often by young families or movers from the region. Anyone actively searching needs to be able to act fast.

What makes a corner house different to buy
A corner house has a side wall that borders public land or an alley. This has consequences that go beyond just an extra window.
- Boundary and side wall. Check with the notary whether the side wall is on the boundary or just off it. This determines whether you can ever place an extension or fence without permission from the municipality or neighbours.
- Maintenance of side wall. An extra wall means extra painting, pointing and insulation. Request a structural survey that explicitly includes the side wall.
- Parking on own land. Many corner houses in Roosendaal have a driveway or the possibility for one. Check whether the driveway is permitted and whether the municipality requires a driveway permit for alterations.
- WOZ value and insurance. Corner houses are sometimes valued higher due to the larger plot area. Check whether the rebuild value in the buildings insurance is correct.
- Noise and wind. A corner position on a busy road or roundabout can give more traffic noise and wind load. Walk past it on a weekday morning.
- Speed of response. Corner houses attract more viewers than an average mid-terrace house. Ensure your financing is in order in advance so you can make an offer immediately.
- Set up push notifications. Set up a search via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play. You will then receive a notification as soon as a new corner house appears in Roosendaal. The app is free.
Price level: what determines the value of a corner house in Roosendaal
Roosendaal is in the mid-range segment. Corner houses are generally slightly higher in price than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the larger plot and extra outdoor space. Current asking prices and sales data can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors that push the price up or down:
- Location on a through road (negative) or in a quiet residential street (positive)
- Presence of a driveway or garage
- Condition of the side wall and roof
- Energy label: homes with label A or B are noticeably valued higher
- Neighbourhood: the resident score varies significantly per area (see below)

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house in Roosendaal cost?

What legal aspects should I consider with a corner house?
Check with the notary whether the side wall is exactly on the property boundary. This determines whether you can later build an extension, fence, or driveway without additional permits.

Auto-translated to English by AIAlthough there is more and more litter, the fellow humans here are quite active in cleaning it up, so it's usually gone quickly again. And despite the me-me-me culture that is spreading like an oil slick across the whole world, I still notice that there are enough people here who have an eye and a helping hand for their (elderly) neighbours. That makes this, despite minor annoyances, a nice neighbourhood to live in.
