Terraced houses in Zutphen: what you'll find on the market
Zutphen is a city where the housing market appears calmer than in the Randstad, but that doesn't mean you can walk in unprepared. The supply of terraced houses is limited and demand remains stable. Anyone seriously considering buying a terraced house in Zutphen quickly notices that good houses spend little time on Funda.
Terraced houses are the most common house type here in the post-war neighbourhoods. They are popular among starters who are moving up, families looking for space, and people returning to a smaller city with good connections to Arnhem and Apeldoorn. The segment sits in the upper middle segment for a city of this size. Current price information can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
What to look out for with a terraced house in this city
Practical points of attention, specifically for terraced houses in Zutphen:
- Year of construction and foundation. Some of Zutphen's terraced houses date from the 1950s and 1960s. Always have a structural survey carried out. Foundation problems do occur, especially in older streets close to the IJssel.
- Property boundaries and party walls. With a terraced house you have two neighbours. Check whether there are agreements about maintenance of the shared walls and whether there is a party wall. This is sometimes not in the purchase agreement but is in the land registry.
- Extension and permits. Many Zutphen terraced houses have a rear extension. Always ask the seller about the permit status. An illegal extension can cause problems with financing or resale.
- Energy label and insulation. Houses with label D or lower are increasingly prompting extra questions from mortgage lenders. A poorly insulated terraced house can affect your borrowing capacity through the energy cost test.
- Parking. In neighbourhoods such as Waterkwartier and the Zuidwijken, paid parking or a permit system applies. Check this before you make an offer, especially if you have multiple cars.
- Bid quickly, but not blindly. Don't wait until an open house is over if you are serious. Call the estate agent immediately after the first viewing. Popular terraced houses in Zutphen receive multiple bids within 48 hours.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. New listings sometimes appear outside office hours. The free Buurtje.nl app sends you a notification as soon as a new terraced house becomes available. Download from the App Store or Google Play, completely free.
What determines the price of a terraced house in Zutphen
Zutphen sits in the upper middle segment for terraced houses, compared to other cities of similar size in Gelderland. This has a few concrete causes:
- The historic city centre attracts buyers who want to live in a recognisable urban environment without paying big-city prices.
- The location on the IJssel and the proximity of the Achterhoek make Zutphen attractive for people moving from the Randstad.
- Terraced houses with a south-facing garden or a spacious driveway consistently perform better than comparable houses without these features.
- The state of maintenance weighs heavily. Houses that are ready to move into sell significantly faster than houses that require renovation.

Neighbourhoods where terraced houses are most sought after
Not every neighbourhood has as many terraced houses or the same character. These are the neighbourhoods that stand out:
- Warnsveld (resident score 9.0/10). Quiet, green neighbourhood just outside the centre. Families with children consciously choose this area. Supply is scarce, but the neighbourhood is highly regarded.
- Centrum and De Hoven (8.8/10). Close to the city centre, with historic character. Terraced houses here are older and sometimes require more maintenance, but the location compensates for that for many buyers.
- Noordveen (8.2/10). Quiet residential neighbourhood with a strong community feel. Good schools nearby, popular with young families.
- Leesten (7.8/10). Somewhat more spacious than the other neighbourhoods, with more greenery. Accessibility by car is good.
- Waterkwartier (7.2/10). More urban character, close to the station. Interesting for those who travel daily. Parking requires attention.

Arnhem has a larger and more varied supply, with similar travel times to the Achterhoek and the A1 corridor. The markets are different in character, but the distance between the two cities is small enough to take both seriously.

My experience with the neighbourhood is very positive. Although the streets are somewhat narrow and the houses here and there a bit dated, this is more than compensated by the favourable location. Within a two-minute walk you are already in the city centre, which makes living here very practical and pleasant. In addition, the neighbourhood has a nice playground and is only a ten-minute walk from the beautiful river IJssel. In the early morning you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise there, which gives a peaceful start to the day. There are also various shops within walking distance, such as Albert Heijn, Lidl and Kruidvat, as well as other amenities that you can easily use on a weekly basis.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is always very friendly, except for a few. However, there are only a few facilities for children. There are plenty of shops in the area, but elsewhere there is very little to do. There is only one small nature area nearby, and I find that a shame because I always enjoy a nice walk in the neighbourhood. I hope more green spaces can be added to the district. I also notice that since the hedges in the back gardens have disappeared and been replaced with fences, fewer and fewer birds are flying through the neighbourhood. I find that a shame too.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are always curious when something happens; you often see them watching from their gardens. There are a handful of nice people, but also a few who complain about everything and are quite mean about it. I don't know most people. Everyone mostly keeps to themselves.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn our beautiful neighbourhood with lots of greenery, the municipality does a lot to support insects by, for example, sowing flowers. However, many disadvantaged families live here and the neighbourhood is very dirty due to illegal dumping. There is a lot of petty crime, such as vandalising property and scratching cars, smashing windows and stealing belongings. There are many loitering youths in the playgrounds between the houses. Furthermore, there is a problem with dogs running loose where it is not allowed, resulting in quite a few biting incidents, including a little dog that was bitten to death while walking with a small boy.
