Zeeheldenbuurt, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Piet Heinstraat sits in a calm pocket of Delft, where the bustle of the city centre fades into a peaceful street. With 72 m² of living space, it is compact but well-proportioned, and the 1921 construction gives it classic character. The asking price of €425,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €560,375, making it a keen entry point for this area. Compared to other apartments in Delft, it offers a rare combination of pre-war charm and a price that undercuts the local market.
The Zeeheldenbuurt neighbourhood is a quiet, safe area that appeals to both students and families. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the peace and the easy transition from the busy centre to this calm street. One resident says: "It is quiet, no bikes stolen, and a very nice location." Another adds: "When you cycle from the city centre or the station, you go from busy and chaotic to very quiet." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many single-person households and a fair share of families. Incomes are average for the city, and the area feels residential rather than bustling.
For daily groceries, the Jumbo is just around the corner, and the PLUS and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. The International School Delft is on your doorstep, while the Cornelis Musiusschool and Prins Mauritsschool are a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Delft provides good local amenities, including a park within a five-minute walk.

Piet Heinstraat 32, Delft
Good · 2 residents
We do have some contact with a few neighbours but otherwise there is no sense of community as far as I know. It is quiet, no bikes stolen, and a very nice location and good rent. By car, it is unclear with navigation for people who are not from Delft.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in the Zeeheldenbuurt for four years now, and I really like it. When you cycle from the city centre or the station, you go from busy and chaotic to very quiet. I live there as a student, and although we never have any problems with the neighbours, I can imagine that this could be annoying for residents in other neighbourhoods. There aren't many green spaces. There are a few small parks within walking/cycling distance.

About Piet Heinstraat 32, Delft
The asking price of €425,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €560,375, which makes it keen compared to other homes in the Zeeheldenbuurt. However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 72 m² versus 104 m². The price per square metre works out to about €5,903, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,529 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the size.
The energy label is E. This is below the current average for homes in the neighbourhood, where over 45% have labels A or B. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs. It may be worth considering improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system, but the exact costs depend on the current installations.
The train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities. The neighbourhood is also well-connected by bike, and the city centre is a short cycle away.
