Living in Oud-Delfgauw, Pijnacker-Nootdorp
Oud-Delfgauw is one of the oldest cores within the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp and has a distinct village character. Where neighbouring communities such as Emerald Noord and Emerald Centrum were built entirely as new-build neighbourhoods, Oud-Delfgauw exudes a completely different atmosphere: ribbon development along polder ditches, detached homes and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with some newer infill developments. The neighbourhood has over 2,065 residents and the largest group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds. This translates into a quiet, stable living environment with little nuisance and many owner-occupiers who have lived on the same street for years.
Facilities in Oud-Delfgauw
Oud-Delfgauw is compact and has few facilities of its own, but that is a conscious choice for many residents: the peace of the village, the city within cycling distance. For daily shopping, you drive or cycle to the centre of Delfgauw or Pijnacker, where supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo can be found. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity of the Delfgauw district. For sports and recreation, the polder location offers plenty of space: walking and cycling paths along the Delfgauwse Wetering and the surrounding peat meadow area are literally on your doorstep. Sports clubs for football and tennis are accessible in Pijnacker and Delfgauw. Hospitality and shops are limited in the neighbourhood itself; residents look to Pijnacker or Delft for these.

Residents of Oud-Delfgauw appreciate the combination of peace, space and accessibility. On the neighbourhood page of Oud-Delfgauw you can read all resident experiences and neighbourhood data. One resident aptly describes it: "You live here as if you are outside the city, but you are there in no time." Criticisms that come up concern the limited level of own facilities and the dependence on the car or bicycle for daily shopping. If you are used to a bustling shopping street around the corner, you need to adjust that expectation.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Emerald Noord or Emerald Centrum, which as new-build neighbourhoods have a more modern and sometimes more anonymous character, Oud-Delfgauw is recognisably more village-like and tighter in layout. Also Ruyven and Zuidpolder Delfgauw are polder neighbourhoods with a similar scale, but Oud-Delfgauw distinguishes itself by its historic ribbon structure and proximity to the old core.
Does a rental home in Oud-Delfgauw suit you?
Renting in Oud-Delfgauw best suits people who consciously choose peace and space, but do not want to live too far from the city.

The supply of rental houses is limited, so respond quickly when something becomes available. Prepare your rental documents (proof of income, employer's statement) in advance.
