Living in Bomenwijk, Delft
Bomenwijk is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the east of Delft, part of the Vrijenban district. As the name suggests: streets are named after trees, and greenery is visibly present in the neighbourhood. It is a post-war expansion area, largely built in the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of porch flats, terraced houses and some multi-family buildings. The homes are functional, not spectacular, but the neighbourhood has its own quiet character that clearly differs from the busier areas closer to the city centre.
Facilities in Bomenwijk
For daily groceries, residents rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity of the Papsouwselaan or the centre of Vrijenban. The neighbourhood itself has limited shopping facilities, which some residents experience as a drawback (the resident score for facilities is 6.0 out of 10). Primary schools are accessible in the surrounding neighbourhoods, including schools in Indische Buurt and Sint Joris. For sports and recreation, the nearby Delftse Hout offers excellent opportunities: a large recreational area with water, cycle paths and play space within cycling distance. Sports clubs are active in the wider Vrijenban district.

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.
