Centrum-West, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dirklangenstraat 18 sits in the lively Centrum-West neighbourhood, where the streets hum with students, locals and visitors. Built in 1890, the home has a classic Delft character with a modern energy label B. At 77 m², it is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 105 m², which is reflected in the price: at €595,000, the asking price is on the high side compared to the median of €425,000 in the area. For context, apartments in Delft vary widely, but this one stands out for its central position.
Centrum-West is a compact, historic neighbourhood with a mix of students, young professionals and older residents. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the convenience: "Quiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby," says one. Another adds, "My neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable." However, parking can be a hassle, and litter is a recurring issue. The neighbourhood has a high density of single-person households (1,300 out of 1,790 households), and most homes were built before 1945. This is the Centrum-West neighbourhood in a nutshell: historic, vibrant, but with the trade-offs of city living.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Ekoplaza offers organic options a couple of streets further. Families have several primary schools within walking distance: Max Havelaar Kindcentrum is a five-minute walk, and Delftsche Schoolvereniging is about the same. For secondary education, Laurentius Praktijkschool and International School Delft are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and shops is on your doorstep. All this falls under the municipality of Delft, known for its historic charm and university atmosphere.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Daal Makelaardij and Van Daal Makelaardij | De Energieke Makelaar.

Quiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby. The only hassle is finding parking spaces. There isn't often nuisance or anything.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street and we have occasionally had mice in the neighbourhood as a result. Placing more bins could possibly prevent this. However, there are very few houses available and everything is unaffordable. Housing could therefore be better.

About Dirklangenstraat 18, Delft
The asking price of €595,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €425,000 and the average of €548,971. However, the home is smaller than average (77 m² vs 105 m²), and its price per m² is roughly in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,171 per m². Given the central location and historic character, the price reflects the premium for being in the heart of Delft.
Parking in Centrum-West can be a challenge. One resident notes that "the only hassle is finding parking spaces." The neighbourhood is densely built and popular, so street parking is limited. Many residents rely on permits or use nearby parking garages. If you have a car, it is worth factoring in the cost and availability of a parking permit.
The home has an energy label B, which is above average for the neighbourhood. In Centrum-West, only about 27% of homes have label B or better (A++ and A combined). Label B means the home is reasonably efficient, with good insulation and heating, so energy costs should be manageable compared to older, uninsulated properties.

For secondary education, Laurentius Praktijkschool (612 m) and International School Delft (641 m) are also close. The area is well served for families with school-age children.
