Kuyperwijk-Zuid, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Almondestraat sits in a neighbourhood that has seen better days, according to the one resident review available. The 70 m² home from 1957 has an F energy label, so heating costs will be a real consideration. At €330,000, the price is in line with the market for apartments in Delft.
Kuyperwijk-Zuid is a densely built area with a mix of older homes and some new-build owner-occupied houses. The one resident who reviewed the neighbourhood gives it a 7.13 out of 10, but paints a stark picture: "The neighbourhood is deteriorating very quickly unfortunately. Rubbish is increasingly being dumped next to containers, more drug-using residents and their associated dealers." They also mention parking issues, with cars from surrounding areas filling the streets to avoid paid parking. The review notes that older homes are in poor condition despite renovations, and that some new residents have brought antisocial behaviour. Based on this single review, it's a neighbourhood with real challenges. For more context, see the Kuyperwijk-Zuid neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, you have a PLUS supermarket just a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. There are several schools nearby: Vrijeschool Widar primary school is just around the corner, and the International School Delft for secondary education is also close. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a GP is just around the corner. The area is very urban, with a high address density of 3,160 per km².

The neighbourhood is deteriorating very quickly unfortunately. Rubbish is increasingly being dumped next to containers, more drug-using residents and their associated dealers. Hardly any parking spaces left for visitors, the surrounding neighbourhoods come here to park to avoid paid parking in their own area, the church musicians park the area full of expensive cars on Wednesday evenings. The general condition of older homes is poor despite renovation. Cracks in balconies and ceilings are hidden under coating, insulation or paint. The new-build owner-occupied homes have brought a lot of antisocial people (not from Delft) with them, making the playground less fun for the children who grew up here and leaving a lot of rubbish behind. Cars are parked on street corners, making it impossible to see as a road user. Cars are parked on passing and refuge areas, on Van Kinschotstraat, cars are half in the middle of the road up to beyond the designated parking spaces at the bus crossing. In short, the neighbourhood is increasingly busy and increasingly antisocial. Not to mention the perspective houses in between that cause nuisance. Old residents who have lived here for years and are moving because of nuisance-causing new neighbours, it's all just possible nowadays. Don't forget the housing associations, taking responsibility for overdue maintenance, serious defects and living nuisance, Stedelink and Woonbron also don't. The low flats near the bicycle tunnel are completely disfiguring the neighbourhood, people dump everything by the container or on the street there. That landlord also doesn't show himself. Enforcement is never there either and I haven't seen the neighbourhood police officer in 28 years.

About Van Almondestraat 46I, Delft
The asking price of €330,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Delft. The home has 70 m² of floor space and an F energy label, which means higher energy costs. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but the price appears reasonable for the size and location.
The energy label is F, which is quite poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating bills. The property was built in 1957, so it likely has single glazing and limited insulation. Budget for potential upgrades if you want to improve efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Delft station offers connections to major cities, but the distance means you'll likely cycle or take a bus to get there.
Based on one resident review, the neighbourhood has issues with rubbish dumping, drug use, and parking problems. The reviewer says the area is deteriorating and that some new residents have caused nuisance. However, this is just one perspective, and the neighbourhood has a mix of long-term residents and newcomers.
Yes, there are several supermarkets within walking distance. The nearest is a PLUS at 460 m, followed by an Albert Heijn at 533 m and a Coop at 610 m. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
There are several schools nearby. Vrijeschool Widar primary school is 317 m away, and the International School Delft for secondary education is 379 m away. The Christelijk Lyceum Delft is also within walking distance at 445 m. Good options for families.
The resident review mentions that parking is difficult, with visitors struggling to find spaces and cars from surrounding neighbourhoods parking here to avoid paid parking. Cars are also parked on street corners, creating visibility issues. It's worth checking the parking situation in person.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with about 265 households with children out of 1,010 total. There are several schools and a playground, but the resident review notes that the playground has become less enjoyable due to antisocial behaviour from some new residents. It's a mixed picture.
