Centrum-Oost, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Vlamingstraat sits right in the lively centre of Delft, surrounded by canals, cafés and boutiques. The building dates from 1889, so you get high ceilings and plenty of character. At 83 m² it's a comfortable size for a city home. The asking price of €350,000 is notably keen, 47% below the neighbourhood average of €658,700, partly because the energy label is F, meaning heating costs will be higher. For context, see other apartments in Delft.
The neighbourhood Centrum-Oost is the oldest part of Delft, with narrow streets and monumental buildings. It's densely populated, over 4,300 addresses per km², and most households are singles or couples without children. The average household size is just 1.6. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the area is known for its mix of students, young professionals and older residents. Around 57% of homes are owner-occupied, and 46% are single-family houses.
For groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Montessorischool Jan Vermeer and Max Havelaar Kindcentrum. The municipality Delft has a compact centre, so most amenities are within walking distance. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and the train station is about a ten-minute walk.

About Vlamingstraat 40, Delft
The asking price is €350,000, which is 47% below the average asking price in Centrum-Oost (€658,700). That's a significant difference, but it reflects the energy label F and the fact that the home needs attention. The median price in the neighbourhood is €630,000, so this is one of the cheapest options available.
Label F is poor, the home will have high heating costs, especially in winter. The building is from 1889 and likely lacks modern insulation. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for the area, but you should budget for higher energy expenses.
Very convenient. Ekoplaza is 193 metres away, Albert Heijn is 259 metres, and there are several other supermarkets within a five-minute walk. Restaurants are just around the corner (200 metres), and a park is 500 metres away.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Montessorischool Jan Vermeer (174 m) and Max Havelaar Kindcentrum (326 m). Secondary education is about 800 metres away. There are 59 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
Delft station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The area is very urban, so buses and trams are also nearby.
Vlamingstraat is in the historic centre, so it's lively with pedestrians and cyclists. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (4,377 per km²), so it's not quiet in the suburban sense. However, the street itself may be relatively calm compared to main squares.
