Living in Juniusbuurt, Delft
Juniusbuurt is located in the Buitenhof district, on the southwestern side of Delft. It is a compact, post-war neighbourhood consisting largely of porch flats and gallery apartments from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a limited number of single-family homes. The buildings are functional and austere in nature: wide streets, little embellishment, but also little bustle. The neighbourhood has a distinctly urban character without the dynamism of the city centre. Residents describe it as quiet and orderly, although the appearance of the public space is dated in some places.
The population composition is striking: of the 835 residents, the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old (over 500 people), and no fewer than 495 households are single-person households. Only 15% are married. This characterises the neighbourhood: it is a place where starters, young professionals and people in a transitional life stage have settled, not so much a family neighbourhood.
Facilities in Juniusbuurt
For daily shopping, residents rely on the shops in and around the nearby Buitenhof shopping centre, within walking distance of the neighbourhood. These include a supermarket and various service providers. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity primarily serve families from the wider Buitenhof district. For sports, there are opportunities in the neighbourhood via the adjacent green strips and sports facilities in Buitenhof. Wilhelminapark and other green areas are quickly accessible by bike. The catering industry in Juniusbuurt itself is limited; those who want to eat or go out head to the City Centre, about a ten-minute bike ride away.
Accessibility
Delft Station is about two kilometres away, easily reachable by bike in about eight minutes. From the station, you can travel to Den Haag Centraal or Rotterdam Centraal in less than fifteen minutes. By bus, there are connections towards the centre of Delft and surrounding districts. By car, the neighbourhood connects to the arterial roads towards the A13 (The Hague-Rotterdam), which you can reach in a few minutes. Parking in Juniusbuurt is mainly regulated via permit holders, so expect a parking permit if you have a car. Cycling is by far the most common way to get in and out of the neighbourhood.
Residents appreciate the tranquillity and central location, but are sometimes critical of the state of the public space. One resident writes on the neighbourhood page of Juniusbuurt: "It is quiet here and you live close to everything, but the neighbourhood could use a bit more attention in terms of maintenance." That image recurs more often in the reviews: the location is strong, the appearance of the neighbourhood itself calls for investment.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods in Buitenhof, Juniusbuurt has a similar character. The Gillisbuurt and the Fledderusbuurt have a similar post-war building style and population composition. If you are looking for a bit more greenery or a slightly quieter street scene, you could also look at Buitenhof-Noord. The average income in Juniusbuurt (€29,900) is slightly above the district average of Buitenhof (€28,500), but remains below the Delft average of €34,700.
Is renting in Juniusbuurt right for you?
Juniusbuurt is most suitable for starters on the rental market, young professionals and people who want to live affordably with a good connection to The Hague and Rotterdam. The high proportion of single-person households (495 out of 650 homes) says enough: this is not a typical family neighbourhood. The average home size in the private sector is 41 m², which implies compact apartments. If you are looking for a rental home with more space for a family, it is better to look at adjacent neighbourhoods or districts such as Vrijenban or Voordijkshoorn.
For social housing, you must register with a housing corporation, such as Woonbron or Vestia, which are active in the Delft region. Waiting lists can be long; start on time. In the private sector, available rental homes go quickly: respond promptly and ensure your documents (payslips, employer's statement) are immediately available. If renting is not your preference, also check the supply of homes for sale in Juniusbuurt, although the owner-occupied segment here is limited.
