A bright apartment in Delft
This apartment on Icarusweg sits in the Mythologiebuurt, a quiet corner of Delft where the streets are named after figures from myth. The home was built in 2007 and has an A energy label, so it is efficient to run. With 90 m² of living space, it is noticeably more spacious than the average rental in the area, which comes in at 63 m². The asking rent of €1,900 per month is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average of €1,625, but the extra space explains much of that. For context, apartments in Delft vary widely in price depending on size and finish.
