Centrum-West, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Wateringsevest sits right in the historic centre, where the streets hum with students, shoppers and cyclists. At €425,000 it is priced 23% below the neighbourhood average of €548,971, partly because the 77 m² floor area is 27% smaller than the Centrum-West norm. That makes it a relatively accessible entry into a sought-after part of town. For context, the apartments in Delft typically command higher prices per square metre.
Centrum-West is a dense, lively neighbourhood with 2,550 residents, mostly young adults (35% are 15,25) and singles (1,300 one-person households). Two residents describe it as "pleasant and cosy", one says: "Quiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby. The only hassle is finding parking spaces." Another adds: "There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street." The neighbourhood Centrum-West is intensely urban (address density 4,958 per km²), so peace and quiet come with the trade-off of limited parking.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Two primary schools, Max Havelaar Kindcentrum and Delftsche Schoolvereniging, are within a couple of streets away. The municipality Delft has a strong cycling culture, so the 1.2 km to the train station is a short ride. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk, and restaurants are on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed via V & W Makelaars Delft and appears on several channels, including Funda and Huispedia.

Quiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby. The only hassle is finding parking spaces. There isn't often nuisance or anything.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street and we have occasionally had mice in the neighbourhood as a result. Placing more bins could possibly prevent this. However, there are very few houses available and everything is unaffordable. Housing could therefore be better.
