Ministersbuurt-Oost, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s apartment on Van Bossestraat sits in a lively part of Delft, where the streets have a real community feel. At 85 m² it's a decent size for a two-person household, and the price of €325,000 is notably keen, 48% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €619,500. That makes it one of the more affordable apartments in Delft currently on the market.
The neighbourhood Ministersbuurt-Oost is a mixed bag according to residents. One long-term resident says: "I've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance." Another is less positive: "People live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing." With two reviews, it's a small sample, but the average score of 6.25 reflects that experience varies. The area is densely built (over 4,600 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war housing, with a mix of families and singles.
For daily shopping, the Coop is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a couple of streets away, including Gabriëlschool and Vrijeschool Widar, and secondary schools like International School Delft and Stanislascollege are also a short walk. The municipality Delft has a compact centre, so most amenities are within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hof van Delft Makelaardij B.V. and other platforms.

I've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance. Unfortunately, there is little housing available here; I want to move out with my boyfriend (we live with my parents) but you can't get a house here, unfortunately.

Cyclists ride very fast, young people from the higher school ride three or four abreast, cheeky. More playgrounds for kids, more green in the neighbourhood, and that dog owners clean up their dog's shit‼️ And a smile costs nothing

About Van Bossestraat 21, Delft
The asking price of €325,000 is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €619,500, which makes it very competitive. However, the apartment has an energy label G, meaning heating costs will be high. The low price reflects both the size and the poor energy performance, so it's a trade-off between upfront cost and running expenses.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating bills. In the neighbourhood, only 22% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is among the least efficient. Renovation could improve the label but would require investment.
Ministersbuurt-Oost has a mix of households: about 35% are families with children, and there are several primary schools within a five-minute walk. However, one resident mentions a lack of playgrounds and issues with dog mess. The area is very urban with high density, so it's not a quiet suburban setting.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a fifteen-minute walk. The city centre of Delft is easily reachable by bike.
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 41 days to sell, which is fairly typical. With only 11 homes currently for sale, supply is limited, but the low price of this apartment may attract interest quickly.
