Living in Pijperring, Delft

Pijperring is a quiet, compact residential neighbourhood in the Buitenhof district, on the southwest side of Delft. The neighbourhood owes its name to the street layout named after musical instruments and musicians, a recognisable pattern in this part of Buitenhof. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: porch flats of three to four storeys, some gallery flats and terraced houses. The homes are not large, but for an affordable rental house in Delft, Pijperring is one of the few places where social rental prices are still realistic, provided you are on the waiting list.

The neighbourhood has a strongly ageing character: those aged 65 and over form the largest age group with 220 out of 640 residents. Single-person households are the most common. This gives Pijperring a quiet, sometimes rather still atmosphere. There is little nuisance from nightlife or students, but also little dynamism on the streets.

In the immediate vicinity, there are primary schools serving the neighbourhood, including schools in the adjacent Reinier de Graafbuurt. The Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis, a large regional hospital, is a short bike ride away, making the neighbourhood attractive for healthcare staff. Sports facilities are available in the wider Buitenhof district, with sports fields and playgrounds within reach. Green spaces exist in the form of small parks between the residential blocks, but a large park is lacking directly in the neighbourhood.
