Terraced houses for sale in Wijdemeren
Terraced houses in Wijdemeren: limited supply, high quality of life and a green environment close to Amsterdam. See the current supply at the top.
Terraced houses in a municipality where nature is closer than the traffic jam
Wijdemeren is no ordinary commuter municipality. With the Loosdrechtse Plassen, the forests around 's-Graveland and the ribbon villages along the water, you are not just buying a home here, but also a living environment that differs greatly from the urbanity of the Randstad. Yet Wijdemeren is owner-occupied dominant: most homes are owner-occupied, and you can tell from the supply. Terraced houses exist, but they do not change owners quickly. Anyone actively looking for a terraced house in Wijdemeren would do well to understand the market well before making an offer.
What you can expect from the market for terraced houses here
The supply of terraced houses in Wijdemeren is in the upper middle segment. This has everything to do with the location, the green surroundings and the fact that the municipality has relatively few social housing units. The owner-occupied market is dominant, supply is limited and competition among buyers is noticeable. Current numbers and price ranges can be found in the overview at the top of this page, which is updated more often than this text.
Terraced houses in Wijdemeren are suitable for families seeking peace and space but still wanting to live within a reasonable commuting distance of Amsterdam. Also starters leaving the city and movers consciously choosing a greener living environment are a recognisable target group in this municipality.
Practical tips for anyone wanting to buy a terraced house in Wijdemeren
- Arrange your financing before you view. In a tight market, you lose a home if you still have to arrange what others have already arranged. A mortgage offer or an agreement-in-principle from your bank is not a luxury, it is a requirement.
- Pay attention to the property boundary and the fence. With terraced houses in older ribbon villages such as Kortenhoef and Loosdrecht, cadastral boundaries are not always what the fence suggests. Have this checked by the notary or via the Land Registry.
- Ask about the HOA status for homes with shared roofs or party walls. Not every terraced house falls under an HOA, but if it does, check the reserves. An empty fund means future repairs will be at your expense directly.
- Investigate the energy performance separately from the label. An energy label D or E is not uncommon in Wijdemeren for older homes. Calculate what sustainability improvements cost and include that in your bid, not afterwards.
- Respond quickly, but not blindly. Homes in Wijdemeren are sometimes online for less than a week. Organise your viewing routine so you can respond within 24 hours, but never plan a bid without having explored the neighbourhood at your own pace.
- Use the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. As soon as a new terraced house becomes available that meets your filters, you will receive an immediate notification on your phone. The app is free to download via the App Store and via Google Play.
- Check the soil quality for homes near water. In polder areas and along lakes, the bearing capacity of the soil can play a role in foundations. For older homes, ask for a foundation report or have a structural survey carried out.
What determines the price of a terraced house in Wijdemeren?
Wijdemeren falls in the higher segment compared to many other municipalities outside the major cities. This is due to a combination of factors: the green location, the proximity of Amsterdam, the relatively low supply and the popularity among buyers who consciously choose peace. Within the municipality, there are clear price differences per core area.
Factors influencing the price of an individual terraced house:
- Location relative to water or forest edge
- Year of construction and state of maintenance
- Presence of a south-facing garden
- Energy label and condition of installations
- Parking options on own property or on the street
For the current price range, we refer to the overview at the top of this page.

What legal aspects should I consider with a terraced house?
With terraced houses, the cadastral boundaries with neighbours are sometimes unclear, especially in older ribbon villages. Always check the property boundary via the Land Registry. Also ask about any easements, such as right of way. If the house is part of an HOA, check the reserves and minutes of recent years.
Which neighbourhoods in Wijdemeren score best according to residents?
Niederhorst den Berg scores highest with an 8.8/10, followed by Ankeveen (8.6/10) and Kortenhoef (8.5/10). Loosdrecht stands at 7.6/10 and 's-Graveland at 6.4/10. These scores are based on resident reviews and change slowly.
Is parking a problem with terraced houses in Wijdemeren?
In the smaller villages such as Ankeveen and Nederhorst den Berg, parking is rarely a problem. In Loosdrecht it can be busier in the summer months due to tourists. Check during the viewing whether the house has a driveway or garage, as that is far from standard for terraced houses in Wijdemeren.
Quite a good neighbourhood, nice neighbours and they are very helpful
Auto-translated to English by AIThe people are friendly and helpful
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly helpful people who keep their ribbon village lively together. There are no shops but there is a primary school, Saturday market, well-run theatre, cafes, restaurant and many clubs for tennis and football, skating, billiards, singing, etc. Secondary school and supermarket are within cycling distance. But the best thing about Ankeveen is the wonderful nature.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe surroundings are beautiful by the water. The catamaran is a small school where all the children know each other. There is a hardworking and friendly team with a heart for the children. In Oud-Loosdrecht, a bus runs, but it doesn't run often. Hence the lower score for accessibility. Lots of restaurants in the area, and if you are a water lover, you are in the right place here!
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the Catamaran, we have a small, close-knit and professional team that is open to growth and development. Team, parents and other partners work together for good education. We realise a future-proof and suitable offering for our children. The Catamaran stands for independent working and uses modern teaching methods for this. Furthermore, all children are offered English from group 1 and for group 1/2 we use the Kleuteruniversiteit.
Auto-translated to English by AIIs quiet and beautiful but poor bus connection
Auto-translated to English by AIsuper sweet people around us and when there's a party, notes are posted first so people know
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and I'll never leave. I don't want a wife or kids because it's so quiet here and I can sometimes invite a hooker and then I have what I sometimes need and no one sees it because it's a bit secluded.
