Homes for sale in Tjalleberd, Heerenveen

House prices in Tjalleberd and market figures

Tjalleberd is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 86% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, while only 14% is rented out. That says something about the character of the village. The average WOZ value is €369,000, which is lower than the district average of Noord-Heerenveen (€396,000), but well above the municipal average of Heerenveen (€315,000). So Tjalleberd sits in the middle segment of the district, but clearly belongs to the more expensive side within the municipality.

Looking at the actual transactions of the past year, it is striking that the selling prices are considerably higher than the WOZ values suggest. In the past twelve months, seven homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €584,429. The range ran from €397,000 to €695,000, with an average living area of 236 m². That works out to roughly €2,475 per square metre. These are almost exclusively spacious detached houses and characteristic farmhouses, no apartments. Supply is scarce and demand is high. At the top of this page you can see the current supply and the average asking price at this moment.

Living in Tjalleberd, Heerenveen

Tjalleberd is a small Frisian village with a pronounced rural character. With around 850 inhabitants and a ribbon development along the Tsjallberter Wei, it is not an anonymous residential area, but a place where people know each other. The neighbourhood consists largely of detached houses, former farmhouses and spacious semi-detached houses on plots with gardens. New-build homes are scarce here; the vast majority of homes date from before 1980, with a mix of post-war construction and older buildings that have sometimes been extensively renovated or extended.

The atmosphere is quiet, green and spacious. Anyone coming from the city immediately notices the difference: no heavy traffic, no shopping streets, no urban hustle and bustle. That is exactly what residents appreciate. One of them writes: "You really live in the countryside here, but you are in the centre of Heerenveen within ten minutes. That is a combination you don't find everywhere." The village community is close-knit; there are local associations active and all sorts of events are organised annually.

Facilities in Tjalleberd itself are limited, which is logical for a village of this size. There is no supermarket or primary school in the village itself. For daily shopping you drive to Heerenveen, about five to ten minutes away. The municipality of Heerenveen has a full range of facilities: several supermarkets, primary schools, secondary schools, sports facilities and the Thialf speed skating stadium. For more information about municipal facilities and plans, see the website of municipality of Heerenveen.

In terms of accessibility, Tjalleberd is dependent on the car. The A32 is quickly reachable, giving you good access to Heerenveen, Leeuwarden and Zwolle. Public transport is limited; there is a bus line running past the village, but the frequency is low. Those without a car will find this village less convenient. Cyclists find it pleasant: there are quiet cycle paths towards Heerenveen and the surrounding villages.

Compared to neighbouring villages such as Terband and Luinjeberd, Tjalleberd has a slightly higher level of facilities and more buildings, but the atmosphere is similarly rural. Gersloot in the area also has a similar character. Those looking for more urban proximity can also look at homes for sale in Noord-Heerenveen, where facilities are closer.

Who is a home in Tjalleberd interesting for?

Tjalleberd mainly attracts families and people over 45 who prefer space, peace and greenery over urban convenience. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (265 residents), which confirms the image of a neighbourhood for movers. Starters will find little affordable here: with an entry price of €397,000 and an average of over €584,000, a home in Tjalleberd is financially out of reach without substantial equity or a high income. Moreover, supply is small; only seven homes change hands per year. Those who still want to live in this area but find the owner-occupied market too tight can also look at rental homes in Tjalleberd, although the rental percentage is limited at 14%.
