Centrum-Oost, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Schuttersveld sits right in the historic centre of Delft, with the market square and the Oude Kerk just a short stroll away. At 136 m² it is unusually generous for a rental in this area, and with an A+ energy label it is both efficient and modern.

Centrum-Oost is the eastern part of Delft's old town, a dense network of canals, cobbled streets and historic buildings. With an address density of 4,377 per km² it is very strongly urban, and the population is a mix of students, young professionals and older residents. The average household size is just 1.6, reflecting the many single-person households. One resident describes it as "a lively area with everything you need within walking distance, but it can be noisy at weekends." Another says: "I love being able to walk to the station and the markets, but parking is a nightmare." The neighbourhood Centrum-Oost has a real village-in-the-city feel, with its own bakeries, cafes and small shops.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner at Ekoplaza or Albert Heijn, and for a bigger shop PLUS is a couple of streets away. For families, Montessorischool Jan Vermeer is on your doorstep, and Max Havelaar Kindcentrum is a five-minute walk. Older children can reach secondary schools within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Delft is compact, so the university, museums and the station are all within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Björnd Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius and Funda, so it is available through several channels.
