End-of-terrace houses for sale in Waterland
Corner houses for sale in Waterland are scarce and sought after. View the current supply and read what you need to know before making an offer.
Monnickendam as a starting point: what sets corner houses in Waterland apart
Waterland is not a municipality where you can quickly find a home. Supply is limited, the municipality is small, and those who want to live here often already have a clear picture: space, tranquillity, and a direct connection to the Dutch landscape. Corner houses fit that picture well. They are often on larger plots, have a side garden or extra driveway, and offer a bit more breathing room than a mid-terrace house in the same row.
The supply of corner houses in Waterland is scarce. That applies to the municipality as a whole, but certainly to this type. Those actively searching would do well to keep an eye on the overview of all homes for sale in Waterland regularly. Current numbers and prices can be found at the top of this page.
What you need to know before bidding on a corner house
Corner houses seem attractive, and often they are. But there are a number of things to pay extra attention to with this type:
- Property boundary and side wall: Check the cadastral boundaries. With corner houses, the plot boundary sometimes differs from what the fence suggests. Have this checked before you make an offer.
- Side facade and maintenance: An extra external wall means more facade, more painting work, more potential moisture risk. Always ask about the maintenance of the side facade in the structural survey.
- Easements: Neighbours or the municipality may have a right of way along the side of the house. Is there a path? Check the deed to see if this is a right, not a tolerated situation.
- Higher WOZ value, higher transfer tax: Corner houses are generally valued higher than comparable mid-terrace houses. This directly affects your transfer tax and monthly costs.
- Speed of response: In a tight market like Waterland, homes sell quickly. Corner houses attract extra interest due to their type. Make sure your financing is in order before you request a viewing.
- Zoning plan for side strip: The extra land next to a corner house is not always building land. Check the zoning plan if you have plans for an extension or shed.
- Set up push notifications: New listings in Waterland are rare. Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store or Google Play and turn on push notifications. This way you'll be notified immediately when something becomes available. The app is completely free.
Price level: buying a corner house in Waterland is not an entry-level market
Waterland is among the more expensive segments of the region. This is due to its location (close to Amsterdam, but with a rural character), limited new construction, and the owner-occupied housing market. Corner houses are on top of that: they are scarce and sought after by buyers with specific wishes.
Factors influencing the price of a corner house in Waterland:
- Plot size and presence of a side strip or driveway
- State of maintenance of the extra facades
- Location relative to water or green space (a relevant distinction in Waterland)
- Availability of parking on private property
- Year of construction and insulation value (energy label is increasingly important)

Monnickendam: the core of the supply
Waterland has few large centres. Most of the supply of homes for sale, including corner houses, is in Monnickendam, the former harbour town with a resident score of 7.4/10. The historic centre attracts buyers who consciously choose a small-scale environment with character. Houses here are in narrow streets, along canals, or on the edge of the old centre.
Corner houses in Monnickendam are relatively rare due to the historic building structure. When one becomes available, interest is high. Broader data and resident experiences can be found on the reviews and neighbourhood data page of Waterland.
Other centres in the municipality, such as Broek in Waterland or Ilpendam, have occasional supply but are even smaller in scale. Do not expect regular supply of corner houses there.
Nothing found? Zaanstad is right next door
If you are actively looking to buy a corner house but find little in Waterland, it is wise to expand your search radius slightly. Zaanstad borders the region directly and has a significantly larger housing supply, with more variety in type and price range. Check the current supply of corner houses in Zaanstad as an alternative. The connection to Amsterdam and the rest of the region is comparable, the market is slightly less tight.
Searching for corner houses in Waterland while also being open to neighbouring municipalities increases your chance of success without having to leave the region.

What legal aspects should I consider for a corner house?
Always check the cadastral plot boundaries, as these sometimes differ for corner houses from what fences or paths suggest. Also check for easements, such as a right of way along the side. Check the zoning plan if you have plans for an extension on the side strip. Always have this checked before making an offer.
In which neighbourhoods in Waterland can I find corner houses for sale?
Most supply is in Monnickendam, the largest town in the municipality with a resident score of 7.4/10. Smaller towns such as Broek in Waterland and Ilpendam have occasional supply, but this is rare. Keep an eye on the overview at the top of the page regularly.
Is there sufficient parking at corner houses in Waterland?
This varies greatly by town and location. In the historic centre of Monnickendam, parking on private property is rare; many residents rely on public parking in the neighbourhood. Corner houses on the outskirts of towns or in newer neighbourhoods more often have a driveway or garage. Always check this during the viewing, especially if you have multiple cars.

It is also very nice that the shopping centre is within walking distance and that everything I need is nearby. The area is fairly well maintained with a vegetable garden. Sometimes there is litter on the street, but the municipality ensures it is removed as quickly as possible. The only thing that could be better is that people throw less rubbish on the street, so the municipality has time for more important things.
