Living in Delftzicht, Delft
Delftzicht is located in the northeast of Delft, as part of the Schieweg district. The neighbourhood borders the Schie and has a green, relatively quiet character that you won't easily find in Delft's city centre. The buildings largely consist of post-war porch flats and single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with a limited number of later additions. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable, compact appearance without the hustle and bustle of a city centre.
The average income of residents is €44,900, well above the Delft average of €34,700. The labour participation rate is 64% and 62% of residents have a high level of education. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (435 people), followed by 45 to 65 years (395 people). Single-person households form the largest category with 445, which fits the relatively high proportion of apartments in the neighbourhood.
Facilities in Delftzicht
For daily groceries, residents rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity of the Schieweg or a bit further towards the centre of Delft; a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn are within cycling distance. Primary schools in the nearby area serve families with young children, although most educational facilities are concentrated in adjacent neighbourhoods. Along the Schie, walking and cycling routes are available, giving the neighbourhood a pleasant green edge. For a wider range of shops or dining, Delft's city centre is the logical destination, just a few minutes away by bike.
Accessibility
Delftzicht is well connected by bike to the centre of Delft, which is about ten to fifteen minutes away by bike. Delft Station is accessible via the Schieweg and offers direct train connections to The Hague and Rotterdam. By car, the neighbourhood connects to the A13, making Rotterdam and The Hague each within a twenty to twenty-five minute drive. Parking is possible in large parts of the neighbourhood with a permit; free parking is limited. Bus connections via the Schieweg link the neighbourhood to the centre and other parts of the city.
Residents appreciate the peace and the location near greenery and water. On the neighbourhood page of Delftzicht you can find all resident experiences and neighbourhood data. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet living with everything within cycling distance, the Schie is a nice bonus." Less positive are some residents about the outdated construction of part of the housing stock and the limited dining options in the neighbourhood itself.
For comparison: the adjacent Schieweg-Polder has an even greener, more rural character with little development. The Bedrijventerrein Schieweg-Noord and Bedrijventerrein Schieweg-Zuid are primarily commercial in nature and offer hardly any living space. Delftzicht is thus the most residential neighbourhood within the Schieweg district.
Does renting in Delftzicht suit you?
Delftzicht mainly attracts working singles and couples between 25 and 45 years old, partly due to the proportion of apartments and the proximity of Delft and the major cities in the region. For families, the neighbourhood is less obvious because of the limited supply of spacious single-family homes. Seniors looking for peace and good accessibility can also find their place here. If you want to rent a home in Delftzicht in the private sector, respond quickly: the supply is limited (34 rentals in a year) and sought-after homes are usually gone quickly. Make sure you have income statements, an employer's declaration and an ID ready. For social housing, register with Woonbron or Vestia, the housing associations active in Delft, but be prepared for waiting lists. As an alternative, you can also look at homes for sale in Delftzicht, because with 48% owner-occupied homes, the supply of houses for sale here is certainly present.
