End-of-terrace houses for sale in Steenwijkerland
End-of-terrace houses in Steenwijkerland are popular and scarce. Current supply, neighbourhood info and buying tips can all be found here in one place.
End-of-terrace houses in a municipality where peace and space determine the price
Steenwijkerland is not a municipality where you buy something quickly. The area stretches from the historic city centre of Steenwijk to the reedlands around Giethoorn and the polder ribbons near Sint Jansklooster. This variety is also reflected in the range of end-of-terrace houses: from 1970s terraced neighbourhoods on the edge of Steenwijk to detached edge houses in small villages where the garden borders pastureland. Anyone considering buying an end-of-terrace house in this part of Overijssel will notice that supply is limited and houses sell quickly. The current supply can be found at the top of this page.
End-of-terrace houses are popular in Steenwijkerland for a clear reason: the plots are generally wider than in the Randstad, driveways are feasible, and a side extension is possible without a permit in many neighbourhoods. This makes this type of house attractive for families looking for space without having to immediately jump to a detached house.

What to look for in an end-of-terrace house, and what specifically applies here
- Side wall and maintenance. An end-of-terrace house has more exterior surface area than a mid-terrace house. Have the condition of the side wall included in the structural survey. In older Steenwijk neighbourhoods, cavity walls from the 1970s are sometimes not or poorly insulated.
- Property boundary and neighbour law. With end-of-terrace houses, the side often borders public green space or a footpath. Check in the land registry whether the property boundary matches what has been demarcated in practice. Municipal land cannot simply be used.
- Extension and permits. A side extension falls under different rules than a rear extension. Ask the municipality whether previous extensions were permitted. This occurs more often with end-of-terrace houses than with mid-terrace houses.
- Parking on own land. Many buyers choose an end-of-terrace house precisely for the driveway. Check whether that driveway is actually on your own land. In some Steenwijk new-build neighbourhoods, the strip in front of the garage is municipal property.
- Response speed. End-of-terrace houses in Steenwijkerland rarely stay on the market for long. Enable notifications so you can respond immediately. The free Buurtje.nl app (App Store) and the Buurtje.nl app (Google Play) send free push notifications as soon as new supply appears that meets your criteria.
- Financing in small villages. Banks are critical of houses in sparsely populated villages with few comparable transactions. Have a valuer assess in advance whether the asking price is market-conform, especially outside Steenwijk itself.
- HOA or no HOA. End-of-terrace houses are almost always ground-level and have no HOA. However, there may be a ground lease construction or qualitative obligation on the plot, particularly in newer expansion areas. Check the purchase agreement on this point.
What an end-of-terrace house costs here and what influences the price
End-of-terrace houses in Steenwijkerland are in the mid-range segment. That means: more affordable than comparable types in urban municipalities in the Randstad, but not cheap. Current prices are at the top of this page.

Factors that push the price down:
- Location in a small village with few amenities.
- Energy label D or lower, especially for construction before 1980.
- Limited parking or narrow driveway.

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house cost in Steenwijkerland?
Corner houses in Steenwijkerland fall in the mid-range segment. The price depends on the core (Steenwijk itself is more expensive than smaller villages), the energy label, the plot size, and the condition of the side facade. Current actual prices can be found at the top of the page.
How can I quickly find a corner house for sale in Steenwijkerland?
Corner houses here are rarely on the market for long. Set up a search and enable push notifications via the free Buurtje.nl app, available in the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). You will then receive an immediate notification as soon as new listings appear that meet your criteria.
What legal aspects should I consider with a corner house?
Check in the land registry whether the property boundary matches the actual situation, especially on the side of the house. Previous extensions must have been permitted. Also check whether the driveway is on your own land and whether there are any qualitative obligations or ground lease on the plot.
Which neighbourhoods in Steenwijkerland score highest according to residents?
Sint Jansklooster scores the highest with an 8.9/10. Scheerwolde follows with an 8.3/10 and Steenwijk itself stands at 8.2/10. Willemsoord (8.0/10) and Giethoorn (7.5/10) are also popular, although the supply of corner houses there is limited.
Is parking a problem with a corner house in Steenwijkerland?
That depends heavily on the location. In the core of Steenwijk and newer expansion areas, the driveway is sometimes built on municipal land. Check this in the purchase agreement and with the land registry before assuming you have your own parking space.
De Woldmeenthe is a nice place to live. It is green, quiet and safe. All amenities are within walking or cycling distance. A very nice area to grow up in, with many playgrounds, cycle paths, greenery and water. There is no problem with litter and the greenery is well maintained. The streets are also wide and very clear.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood and a safe neighbourhood, we really enjoy living here!!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in this neighbourhood is that it is one of the safest neighbourhoods in the Steenwijk area, although there is slight nuisance from drug dealing and junkies who go into, for example, the park at the popular pond.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood to live in, people are very much to themselves. Few playgrounds that look decent for small children. Very good schools though. An Albert Heijn and a snack bar and the centre a 20-minute walk away... Bus facilities I personally don't find very convenient.
Auto-translated to English by AITuk is a quiet place. The people are friendly but also keep to themselves. The only downside is the park near the Karre, where many drunk young people hang around. There is also often litter there and there are no bins nearby. But that's really the only major drawback. Tuk has a playground made from natural materials, which is good. Furthermore, it is easily accessible and you can do quite a lot here. You can go bowling, play tennis, go to the gym, a chip shop/bar, and more. It's a nice neighbourhood for families because there is also a primary school nearby and a secondary school is a 15-minute bike ride away.
Auto-translated to English by AIWonderfully quiet living. No buses running at the weekends.
Auto-translated to English by AIBy bike you're straight into De Weerribben or the woods. Giethoorn easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, child-friendly. Small village but not far from the towns of Steenwijk and Wolvega: 6 km! Wooded area but also Giethoorn a 20-minute drive away. Cycle to the Weerribben or swim in De Linde near Wolvega! Living in the heart; Willemsoord!
