Wijchen and the corner house supply: what you'll find here
Wijchen is not your average Gelderland commuter town. The municipality combines a compact historic centre with quiet expansion neighbourhoods and a few genuine village cores in the countryside. This is reflected in the supply of corner houses: you'll find them both in terraced housing estates from the 1980s and in newer development areas. The total supply is limited, as in most smaller municipalities around Nijmegen.
Corner houses in Wijchen are in the upper mid-range segment. They are snapped up quickly, especially if they have a spacious side strip or driveway. Current numbers and price indications can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Who is this type of home suitable for here? Families who want more outdoor space without taking the step to a detached house. People who want to be able to park a car on their own property. And buyers who consciously choose the tranquillity of Wijchen over the hustle and bustle of Nijmegen, less than a quarter of an hour's drive from the city.

What to look out for when buying a corner house
- Side wall and maintenance. A corner house has more wall surface than a mid-terrace house. Check the condition of the exterior walls, pointing and roof edge on the side. This is often overlooked during structural surveys.
- Property boundary and side strip. Request the cadastral map before making an offer. Sometimes the side strip is partly municipal land, or there is an easement over the plot (e.g. right of way for neighbours).
- Wind load and insulation. Corner houses are exposed to more wind. Ask about the energy label and the insulation level of the side wall specifically. Cavity wall insulation is more often absent here than in mid-terrace houses.
- HOA or no HOA. For ground-level corner houses, there is rarely a Homeowners' Association (HOA), but sometimes for apartments or split properties. Check this in the purchase agreement.
- Response time is short. Corner houses in Wijchen rarely stay online for long. Set up search alerts and respond quickly. Use the free Buurtje.nl app (App Store) or the Buurtje.nl app (Google Play) for free push notifications as soon as new listings appear.
- Parking on own property. A driveway or garage is more common with corner houses than with mid-terrace houses. Check whether the driveway was constructed without a permit or whether an environmental permit was issued for it.
- Financing and floor area. Banks are critical of homes under 40m². Corner houses in Wijchen are well above that, but for apartments with a corner location, always check the living area in the appraisal report.
What determines the price of a corner house in Wijchen
Corner houses generally command a higher price than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street. That difference lies in the extra plot, the additional natural light and the larger side wall. In Wijchen, the location relative to Nijmegen also plays a role: the better the connection (A326, train via Nijmegen Centraal), the higher the asking price.
Other factors influencing the price:
- Presence of a garage or carport
- Energy label (A or higher gives an advantage in financing)
- Year of construction and state of maintenance
- Location on a busy road versus a residential street
- Size of the side strip and garden
Current price levels are shown in the overview at the top of this page. Keep in mind that buying a corner house in Wijchen in most cases exceeds the average home price in the municipality.
Neighbourhoods in Wijchen: where to look best
Not every neighbourhood has an equal supply of corner houses, but resident ratings give a good indication of the living environment.
- Alverna (Wijk 08) scores 9.4/10 with residents. Small village on the edge of the municipality, quiet and green. Supply is scarce, but when something becomes available, the location is special.
- Wijchen kern (Wijk 01) scores 9.1/10. The centre of the municipality with amenities, shops and the castle. Corner houses here are more often in post-war expansion neighbourhoods just outside the centre.
- Hernen (Wijk 05) scores 8.0/10. Rural village, suitable for those who want distance from the built-up area. Less supply, more space.
- Bergharen (Wijk 04) scores 7.1/10. Slightly more active in terms of supply than the smallest village cores, with a mix of older and newer homes.
Nothing found in Wijchen? Also look at Arnhem
