Rental prices and market figures for Aziëbuurt, Delft
Aziëbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: of the 1,198 homes, 69% are for sale and 31% are in the rental sector. Within that rental sector, the majority is owned by housing associations (23% of the total stock), while only 8% is with other landlords. Free-sector rental homes are therefore scarce here. In the past twelve months, one home was rented in the free sector (excluding social housing) for €979 per month. Since this is a single transaction, a reliable price per m² cannot be calculated, but the price is in line with what you can expect in the broader Tanthof-West district. The average WOZ value in Aziëbuurt is €355,000, which is clearly higher than the district average of Tanthof-West (€324,000) and the municipal average of Delft (€322,000). This reflects the relatively high-quality owner-occupied housing stock here. For current supply and the most recent average rental price, please refer to the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Aziëbuurt, Delft
Aziëbuurt is part of the Tanthof-West district, a planned expansion neighbourhood that Delft acquired to the southwest in the 1970s and 1980s. Aziëbuurt itself is named after the Asian continent, just as the neighbouring Afrikabuurt-West and Afrikabuurt-Oost derive their names from Africa. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable thematic character: quiet residential streets, spacious layout, with plenty of greenery between the buildings. The housing types are predominantly ground-based: semi-detached houses and terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s dominate the streetscape, interspersed with a few apartment complexes. It is a neighbourhood that at first glance offers little spectacular, but residents appreciate the peace and space.
Facilities in Aziëbuurt
For daily shopping, you rely on the nearby Tanthof shopping centre, reachable by bicycle. There you will find an Albert Heijn and a few smaller shops. For a larger range of shops, catering and urban amenities, Delft city centre is the designated destination, about three kilometres away. Within the neighbourhood and its immediate surroundings, there are primary schools that suit the family character of the district. In terms of sports, Tanthof-West offers various opportunities: there are football clubs and other sports clubs in the immediate vicinity, and the greenery around the neighbourhood is well-suited for running and cycling. Delftse Hout, a large recreational area with a lake, is easily accessible by bike and popular with families.
Accessibility
Aziëbuurt is not directly located at a train station, but Delft station can be reached by bicycle in about fifteen minutes. By bus, there are connections to the city centre and other districts. By car, via the N470 and the connection to the A13, you have a fairly direct route to The Hague and Rotterdam, both about twenty to twenty-five minutes away. Parking is free on most streets and usually not a problem, which is a difference from neighbourhoods closer to the centre. By bicycle, Aziëbuurt is well connected to the rest of Delft via the extensive cycling infrastructure that the municipality has built.
Those who want to read the experiences of current residents can find them on the neighbourhood page of Aziëbuurt, where neighbourhood scores per category are also kept. Residents often describe the neighbourhood as quiet and green, with a pleasant mix of families and older residents. A frequently heard point of criticism is the limited range of shops within walking distance: "For real groceries I always take the bike, but you get used to it quickly." The relatively high age of the housing stock also means that energy performance can vary greatly per home, although the average gas consumption (740 m³) is lower than in many comparable post-war neighbourhoods. Compared to Latijns Amerikabuurt and Tanthofkadebuurt, Aziëbuurt has a slightly quieter, more subdued character, with a higher WOZ value that reflects the relatively well-maintained owner-occupied housing stock.
Does a rental home in Aziëbuurt suit you?

Starters and students looking for an affordable rental home will find few options here: the free-sector supply is limited and social housing has waiting lists. If you still want to rent a home in Aziëbuurt, it is wise to respond quickly as soon as something becomes available. Also register with a housing association for social housing and make sure your documents (income statement, employer's statement) are ready. If renting does not work out, it is also worth looking at homes for sale in Aziëbuurt, because 69% of the housing stock is for sale. The average income in the neighbourhood (€37,600) is above the Delft average (€34,700), which indicates that this is not a typical starter neighbourhood.
