Rental prices and market figures Den Hoorn, Delft
Den Hoorn is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 77% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, only 23% are rental properties. Of those rental properties, the majority are owned by a housing association (20%), while other landlords account for just 3%. This means that the free-sector rental supply in Den Hoorn is limited. Over the past twelve months, one property was rented out in the free sector (excluding social housing), with a rent of €2,500 per month. That is considerably higher than the average in the municipality of Delft, which is also reflected in the WOZ values: in Den Hoorn, the average is €524,000, compared to €391,000 in the district Voordijkshoorn and €322,000 for the municipality as a whole. Den Hoorn is therefore one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Delft. For current rental prices and available rental properties, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Den Hoorn, Delft
Den Hoorn is not an urban district but a real village that happens to fall within the municipal boundaries of Delft. You notice this immediately when you walk around: there is a village centre with a church, a supermarket, a snack bar and a football field, and the atmosphere is quiet and communal. The housing mainly consists of detached houses and semi-detached houses, with a fair amount of new-build from the 1990s and later. You will hardly find any porch flats or large-scale apartments here, which partly explains why the free-sector rental supply is so limited.
Facilities
For a village of nearly 3,000 residents, Den Hoorn has surprisingly many amenities on its own doorstep. There is a supermarket within walking distance, a snack bar and primary schools nearby. Resident Sjoerd describes it aptly: "They have everything you need, like a football field, a supermarket, a snack bar." In terms of sports, there is a local football club, and the green surroundings offer space for walking and cycling. For more extensive shops, a hospital or a cinema, you have to rely on Delft or Naaldwijk. Residents rate the facilities a 6 out of 10, which is fair: it is more than enough for daily groceries, but not much more than that.
Accessibility
Den Hoorn has its own NS station, Den Hoorn station, with connections to Delft and The Hague. That is a major plus for commuters. By bike, you can reach the centre of Delft in about twenty minutes. By car, the connection to the A4 and A13 motorways is quickly accessible, making Den Hoorn interesting for people who regularly travel to Rotterdam, The Hague or Leiden. Parking is free in most streets and without a permit requirement, which is a clear difference from the busier districts in the city. Residents therefore rate the accessibility an 8 out of 10.
Safety and atmosphere
Den Hoorn scores well on safety: an 8 out of 10 in resident reviews. Sjoerd confirms this: "Safety is good because nothing strange ever happens, and there is not much litter either." It is a neighbourhood where people know each other, children play outside and it is quiet. The community score is 8, which is not surprising for a small core like this. Green space scores slightly lower with a 6, because Den Hoorn does not have a large park or recreational area right on its doorstep. More extensive neighbourhood data and all resident experiences can be found on the neighbourhood page of Den Hoorn.
Those who compare Den Hoorn with other neighbourhoods in the Voordijkshoorn district will notice that the village character here is truly unique. Neighbourhoods like Hoornse Hof and Westlandhof are closer to the urban development of Delft and have a different, more suburban character. Den Hoorn feels more compact and communal, but therefore also offers less choice when it comes to rental homes in the free sector.
Is a rental property in Den Hoorn right for you?
Den Hoorn mainly attracts families: more than 630 households with children live here, and 37% of residents are married. The average income is €48,100, clearly above the Delft average. That matches the rental prices in the free sector, which are around €2,500 per month. For starters or people with a modal income, renting in Den Hoorn in the free sector is financially challenging. Social rental properties do exist, but waiting lists at housing associations are long.

Those who buy instead of rent have more choice: view the supply of owner-occupied homes in Den Hoorn as an alternative.
