A social-rent flat in a friendly Delft neighbourhood
This two-bedroom apartment on Valkenlaan sits in Vogelbuurt-Oost, a quiet corner of Tanthof-Oost where neighbours still greet each other on the street. At 75 m² it was noticeably more compact than the average rental in the area, and the last known rent of €884 was well below the neighbourhood median of €1,650, a keen price for a social-rent home. For context, the listing was one of very few available here, and it was a housing-corporation property. Compare with other apartments in Delft. This home has not been online since 6 July 2026.

One resident describes it as a "top little neighbourhood" and says: "We've lived here for 3 years and everyone always says hello to each other, there's an annual neighbourhood party on Neighbours' Day and we get together in playgrounds with the children." The same review mentions the Abtwoudse park right next door, a football club with a family atmosphere, and a range of amenities within walking distance, schools, a supermarket, a restaurant, a snack bar, a Primera and a hairdresser. The neighbourhood Vogelbuurt-Oost is home to around 1,340 people, with a mix of ages and a fair share of families.
