Ministersbuurt-Oost, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis 1932 apartment on Van der Heimstraat sits in a lively part of Delft, where the streets are lined with mature trees and the neighbours have been around for decades. At 105 m² it's a generous size for an apartment, and the price of €495,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €619,500, a keen entry point for this part of town. For context, the apartments in Delft show a wide range, but this one stands out for its combination of space and value.
The neighbourhood Ministersbuurt-Oost has a small but telling set of resident reviews. 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 paints a less rosy picture: "People live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing. Cyclists ride very fast." With only two reviews, it's a split impression, friendly and convenient for some, messy and inconsiderate for others. The neighbourhood is densely built (over 4,600 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of pre-war homes, with a mix of families and singles.
For your morning bread run, the Coop is just around the corner, and the SPAR and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: the International School Delft is a five-minute walk, and Freinetschool Delft and Gabriëlschool are both within a few hundred metres. The municipality Delft keeps the city compact, so most daily needs are within easy reach without a car.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including V & W Makelaars Delft, Funda and Pararius. The energy label is D, which is less efficient than much of the current local supply, something to factor in when budgeting for utilities.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing. 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
