Centrum-West, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Dirklangendwarsstraat 29 sits in the heart of Delft, where the streets hum with student life and the scent of fresh bread from nearby bakeries. With 67 m² of living space and an 80 m² plot, it's compact but full of character, a 1885 build with energy label B. The asking price of €545,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €425,000, but it reflects the rarity of a corner house in this sought-after area. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Delft typically command a premium.
Centrum-West is a dense, historic neighbourhood with 2,550 residents packed into just a few streets. It's overwhelmingly young, nearly 35% are between 15 and 25, and most households are single people. Two residents describe it as "pleasant and cosy" and "nice, cosy and pleasant," though they note parking is a hassle and litter can be an issue. The neighbourhood Centrum-West has a high crime rate (169 incidents) but also a lively, walkable feel. Most homes were built before 1945 (86%), and the mix of students and families gives it a vibrant, if sometimes messy, atmosphere.
Your morning coffee is just a couple of streets away at Coop or Albert Heijn. For organic goods, Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Max Havelaar Kindcentrum and Delftsche Schoolvereniging are both within a few minutes' walk.

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.
