About Hugo de Grootstraat 47, Delft
The asking price of €372,500 is 23% below the average asking price in Olofsbuurt (€486,857) and also below the median of €395,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average at 61 m², so the price per m² works out to about €6,107, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,182 per m². It is priced keenly for the area, but the smaller size means you are paying a premium for the location.
The energy label is D, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, it is not the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not tell you exactly what needs improvement; it could be the heating system, insulation, or a combination of factors.
Delft train station is about 1 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. From there, you can reach The Hague, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam.
The CBS data records 100 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or a breakdown by type, it is hard to judge the safety level. Olofsbuurt is a dense urban area with many students, so it is typical for such areas to have some petty crime. You can check local crime maps for more detail.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is 0.4 km away, which is about a five-minute walk. Delft has several small parks and the larger Delftse Hout is a bit further out, but for daily use the nearby green space is convenient.
The building was constructed in 1899, so it is over 120 years old. The listing does not provide any information about the condition of the roof, plumbing, or electrical systems. A structural survey would be needed to assess the actual state of the property.

How residents experience their district
Yeah, I get along with most people.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance. Unfortunately, there is little housing available here; I want to move out with my boyfriend (we live with my parents) but you can't get a house here, unfortunately.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing. Cyclists ride very fast, young people from the higher school ride three or four abreast, cheeky. More playgrounds for kids, more green in the neighbourhood, and that dog owners clean up their dog's shit‼️ And a smile costs nothing
Auto-translated to English by AII've had my own internet radio station since 2 March 2020

How residents experience their municipality
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 AINo sense of community, little contact, also some loitering youths, a lot of litter in the area.. I often clean up rubbish but the next day it's all over the ground again.. experienced a burglary at the neighbours' in broad daylight.. that does create a feeling of insecurity.. In addition, I sometimes have trouble with men following me.. and fireworks are set off all year round, also randomly at 3am.. There are 2 nice playgrounds in the neighbourhood but I often don't find them safe for children because there is too much litter.. think lots of cigarette butts and glass and many other things.. but it's nice that the facility is there
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is often dirty, there is a lot of rubbish in my street next to the container, that is the only bad thing, that's why we get vermin in the street, mice, rats for example
Auto-translated to English by AII get along well with the people
Auto-translated to English by AIno negative experiences
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.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a fine neighbourhood, except that I sometimes feel unsafe when I cycle late in the evening. Other than that, I never really have trouble with people. The neighbourhood could be a bit greener in my opinion, but well, it's mostly flats and they're not that pretty.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood atmosphere, nice people
