Free-living neighbourhood

Our neighbourhood is full of nature, art and events. Our special Delft rapper Fatah also comes from here. It is a special Delft with free-living people and cosiness! There is also plenty to do, such as art and creation, and people help where needed. Our neighbourhood Delft is free of political opinion and has many facilities. There is always something to do here and people are quick to think there is room for development and observation. With kind regards, Aylin Cantorun

Cosy, full of nature and relaxing.

In my neighbourhood, full of nature and beautiful spots, I feel very welcome and invited for a cup of coffee or tea and/or a picnic. The neighbourhood is full of nature and is very beautiful. Also very safe and accessible for everyone, except if you don't live here. There is also a cosy grand café with sandwiches and drinks where everyone is welcome.

Nice, beautiful, cosy and well-maintained neighbourhood

Good experience with the neighbourhood, very cosy street where everyone is in touch with each other. Safe and cosy atmosphere, also in the other streets. Close to everything: city centre, schools, GP, dentist, supermarket, etc.

Quiet neighbourhood, not my taste

A quiet neighbourhood along the motorway where you can still hear some noise in the evening. It never got really dark at night by my window due to a large amount of light from the greenhouses nearby. The houses where I lived were demolished shortly after I left. The residents didn't seem happy about this. Maybe that's why the neighbourhood felt a bit unsociable. Accessibility is not great, nor are the amenities. I went to the Plus for my groceries, there was nothing else in the neighbourhood. But there is a nice nature area if you go under the motorway to De Grote Plas.
