Buying a house in Westervoort: the housing market in 2026
Westervoort is a compact municipality in Gelderland, wedged between the IJssel and the Rhine, directly east of Arnhem. With around 15,150 residents, it has the scale of a village, but thanks to its location right next to the city, you benefit from urban amenities without the associated price tag. The A12 and A325 are a stone's throw away, and by bus you can reach Arnhem Centraal station within a quarter of an hour. This makes Westervoort popular among people who work in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region but prefer to live somewhere quieter.
Of the nearly 6,800 homes in the municipality, 60% are owner-occupied and 40% are rental. The average WOZ value is €310,000, but actual transaction prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 33 homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €481,015. The range runs from €275,000 to €1,750,000, showing that both affordable terraced houses and spacious detached homes are sold. The market is relatively tight: supply is limited and homes sell quickly. Check the top of this page for the current selling time and current supply for the most recent status. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only see what is for sale but also what it is really like to live there.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Westervoort
Westervoort is officially one municipality without separate districts, but in practice the village has clearly different neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for an affordable apartment or a family wanting space: it matters where in Westervoort you buy. Below are the main areas.
Westervoort-Centrum, the beating heart of the village
The centre around Dorpsstraat and the shopping area offers the most amenities within walking distance: supermarkets, the library, GPs and hospitality venues. Here you will find a mix of 1970s terraced houses and newer apartments. The neighbourhood scores an 8.0 from residents on Buurtje.nl, with notably high marks for accessibility (8.6) and safety (8.6). For first-time buyers buying an apartment in Westervoort, this is a logical place to start. Check the housing supply in Wijk 00 for the current overview.
De Hondsgemet, spacious family homes on the outskirts
South of the centre lies De Hondsgemet, a neighbourhood from the 1980s and 1990s with predominantly spacious single-family homes and plenty of greenery. Families with children feel at home here: there are primary schools nearby and playgrounds within walking distance. Prices here are generally above the municipal average, especially for semi-detached and detached houses. Residents appreciate the green character of this neighbourhood, which is reflected in the greenery score of 8.0 for the municipality as a whole.
Westervoort-Noord, affordable and well-connected
The northern part of Westervoort, towards the IJssel, offers a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes from the 1960s and 1970s. This is the part of the village where entry-level prices are lowest. For those looking for a home under €350,000, this is the neighbourhood to keep an eye on. The location along the water is a plus, although some homes are in need of modernisation. One resident notes: "The location by the water and the peace are really nice, but you have to take into account older homes that are not always top-notch energetically."
Rivierenwijk, living with a view
On the western side of Westervoort, bordering the floodplains, you will find homes with views of the river landscape. It is a sought-after part of Westervoort where supply is limited and prices are correspondingly higher. The beauty score of 8.4 for the municipality is partly driven by places like this. Upsizers looking for space and a view will find what they are looking for here.

What to look out for when buying a home in Westervoort?
Firstly: look carefully at the differences between the neighbourhoods. The price range from €275,000 to €1,750,000 shows that Westervoort is not a one-size-fits-all. In the northern part you will find the most affordable options, while towards the floodplains and in De Hondsgemet you will pay considerably more. Think in advance about your priorities: walking distance to shops or peace and space?
Secondly: take into account a tight market. With only 33 transactions in the past year, supply is limited. That means you need to act quickly and that overbidding is common. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: check the accessibility from the specific neighbourhood. Westervoort does not have its own train station, so you are dependent on bus connections to Arnhem or Duiven. From the centre these are fine, but from the edges of the village it can take a bit longer.
Finally: use neighbourhood data to support your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores for safety, amenities and greenery per neighbourhood. This gives you a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Are you considering renting instead? Then also check rental homes in Westervoort as an alternative.
