Rental homes in Marlot, Delft

Rental prices and market figures for Marlot, Delft

Marlot is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 63% of the 273 homes are owned, while 37% are rented out. Of those rental properties, the vast majority are owned by housing associations (35% of the total stock), meaning the share of private-sector rentals in Marlot is limited. Anyone looking for a rental home in Marlot outside the social sector therefore pays a considerable premium. Over the past twelve months, five private-sector homes were rented out for an average of €2,680 per month, with a range of €2,650 to €2,700. With an average surface area of 123 m², this works out at around €21.80 per m². These are exclusively private-sector rental prices, excluding social housing.

By way of comparison: the average WOZ value of homes in Marlot is €511,000, well above the district average for Voordijkshoorn (€391,000) and far above the Delft average of €322,000. The average household income (€47,200) is also higher than in the surrounding district and the municipality as a whole. Marlot is therefore one of the more expensive neighbourhoods in Delft. If you have a larger budget or want to rent flexibly in a quiet, green environment, you will find your place here, but do not expect bargains.

Living in Marlot, Delft

Marlot is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Delft, part of the Voordijkshoorn district. The neighbourhood has a strongly suburban character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and an atmosphere that feels more like a quiet suburban town than a city district. The housing stock consists mainly of spacious single-family homes and detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, which explains the relatively high WOZ values. Renting apartments in Marlot is less common; the supply consists mainly of ground-floor homes.

Facilities in Marlot

Marlot itself has few direct facilities, but this is intentional: the neighbourhood is primarily a residential area. For daily shopping, residents rely on nearby shopping centres, such as the centre on Martinus Nijhofflaan or the supermarkets towards the centre of Delft. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the families living here, and the proportion of households with children in Marlot is above average (120 households with children). Sports clubs and recreational opportunities can be found in the wider Voordijkshoorn district and in nearby Delftse Hout, a large recreational area with walking and cycling paths, a swimming lake and sports facilities. For more extensive shops and catering, the Delft city centre is the logical destination, about three kilometres away.

Accessibility

Marlot is located on the southwest side of Delft, which has both advantages and disadvantages. By bike, the city centre can be reached in about ten to fifteen minutes via well-maintained cycle paths. By car, the connection to the A13 (The Hague-Rotterdam) is quickly reached, making Marlot attractive for commuters. Delft Station is a few kilometres away; from the station you can reach The Hague Central in about ten minutes and Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Bus connections from the neighbourhood itself are limited; residents are largely dependent on the bike to the station or to bus stops in the surrounding district. Parking in Marlot is generally not a problem: most homes have their own driveway or garage, and street parking is free.

Residents of Marlot appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the Marlot neighbourhood page you can read the experiences of people who live there. One resident writes: "Marlot is exactly what you are looking for if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle but still be in the city quickly. It is quiet, green and the neighbours know each other." A critical point that comes up is the limited walking distance to daily facilities; if you do not have a car, you notice that. Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Hoornse Hof or Westlandhof, Marlot has a slightly more exclusive character with higher property values, but also less street life.

Is renting in Marlot right for you?

Marlot mainly attracts families and residents in the 45 to 65 age group, which is visible in the quiet atmosphere and the types of homes. As a starter or student, renting a home in Marlot is financially heavy: with private-sector rental prices around €2,680 per month, this is not an entry-level market. For families or dual-income earners looking for space, greenery and peace, at a reasonable distance from The Hague and Rotterdam, Marlot is a serious option. Social tenants would do well to register with Woonbron or Vestia, the housing associations active in the Delft region, but should expect significant waiting times. The private-sector supply is scarce and goes quickly; respond quickly if something becomes available. If you buy instead of rent, you can also look at the supply of homes for sale in Marlot. For a broader rental supply in the area, rental properties in Voordijkshoorn or the overall overview of rental properties in Delft are also worth a look.

What residents say about Marlot

Residents describe Marlot as a quiet, neat neighbourhood where it is pleasant to live, especially for families. The green environment and the good atmosphere among neighbours are most often mentioned as plus points. Less positive are residents about the limited facilities within walking distance and the dependence on the car or bike for daily shopping. One resident sums it up aptly: "For those seeking peace and a bit more space around them, Marlot is a nice place. But do not expect a bustling neighbourhood."
