A grand apartment on the Brabantse Turfmarkt
This apartment on the Brabantse Turfmarkt sits in the heart of Delft, a street that feels both historic and lively. With 229 m² of living space, this is a home with real presence, and the 1825 build year adds a layer of character you do not find everywhere. The rent of €1,900 is keen, sitting 32% below the neighbourhood average of €2,786, which makes it stand out among apartments in Delft.
The Centrum neighbourhood
The Centrum neighbourhood is Delft's historic core, where most residents live alone, and the age mix leans heavily towards people in their twenties and forties. It is a compact, walkable area with a strong sense of history, and the streets are busy with students, workers and visitors alike. One resident review gives the area a 7.88 out of 10, though it is based on a single review, so it is a limited snapshot. The housing stock is mostly rental, and the market here moves at its own pace, with 45 homes rented out in the last period.
Life on the street
Daily life here is remarkably convenient. The Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, just 27 metres away, and a Jumbo and a SPAR are a couple of streets further. For school runs, the Max Havelaar Kindcentrum is a ten-minute walk, and the Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Oostpoort is just beyond that. Secondary education is also within reach, with Scholencombinatie Delfland (Grotius) about a ten-minute walk. The train station is 1.4 km away, which is a manageable walk or a short cycle, and the municipality of Delft keeps the centre well connected.

Frequently asked questions
About Brabantse Turfmarkt 53, Delft
Is €1,900 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,900 is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €2,786, and the floor area of 229 m² is 114% larger than the average of 107 m². That makes it a keen price for the size, though the market here has a wide range, from €1,204 to €4,250. The energy label is B, which is efficient, so heating costs should be moderate.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label is considered efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
