Renting in Schipluiden: a small market with hefty prices
Of all homes in Schipluiden, only 26% are rental properties. The vast majority, 74%, are owner-occupied homes, characterising the municipality of Midden-Delfland as a region where homeownership is the norm. Of those rental homes, most are owned by housing associations (19%), while the private sector is limited to about 6% of the total stock. Anyone looking for a rental home outside the social sector therefore has little choice. This is reflected in the prices: in the private sector, an average of €2,273 per month was paid over the past year, with a range of €1,155 to €3,500 per month. The average rented home had a floor area of 170 m², which explains why prices are on the higher side. The average WOZ value in Schipluiden is €471,000, almost equal to the municipal average of €470,000 for Midden-Delfland. All mentioned rental prices are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social rent. See the current supply and current average rent at the top of this page.
Village tranquillity, strong community and plenty of green: how residents live in Schipluiden
Schipluiden is not a neighbourhood in the urban sense. It is a collection of small cores and ribbons in the open Midden-Delfland landscape, where cows graze along the ditch and the built-up area remains compact. Residents appreciate that. On the neighbourhood page of Schipluiden, the average resident rating is 8.1 out of 10, based on reviews from people who live or have lived there. Notably high scores are for community (9.0) and education (9.0), while safety and green space both score 8.7. Accessibility and amenities score lower, at 7.7 and 7.3 respectively, which is fair for a rural area.
Kathinka describes the village as "a nice village with people who still look out for each other" and says she was immediately welcomed into the community. That picture matches what more residents indicate: this is a place where you know your neighbours. Alex, who grew up there, gives it a 10 and calls it a warm environment. At the same time, it is good to know that Schipluiden actually consists of several separate cores. Reviewer Michael de Jong emphatically points out that Den Hoorn has been an independent village for centuries, with roots dating back to 1100, and is larger than the map sometimes suggests. Other cores that fall under Schipluiden are Gaag-Schipluiden, the small 't Woudt and Hodenpijl. Each has its own character, but the common denominator is space, tranquillity and a close-knit social structure.
Anyone used to having a supermarket around the corner and a train station within a five-minute walk will have to adjust. A car is almost indispensable in most cores. From Den Hoorn and Schipluiden itself, Delft and Naaldwijk are reasonably accessible, but allow for travel time. The municipality is working on the liveability of the area; more information about amenities and policy can be found on the website of the municipality of Midden-Delfland.
