Renting in Tanthof-Oost: a tight private sector, but plenty of social housing
Tanthof-Oost is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: over 52% of the approximately 3,000 homes are rental properties. That sounds like a lot of supply, but the reality is more nuanced. The majority of those rental homes, around 45%, are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore limited in size. In the past twelve months, only 3 homes were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €2,000 per month for an average area of 113 m². The range was entirely at that level, meaning there was little variation in supply. These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rental prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
The WOZ value in Tanthof-Oost averages €308,000, slightly below the Delft average of €322,000. This reflects a neighbourhood that is positioned as affordable, but where the private sector is scarce. Anyone looking for a rental home outside the social sector will find that supply is limited and goes quickly. More information about living in Delft as a whole can be found on the municipality page.
Tanthof-Oost: green, quiet and social, but no urban dynamism
Tanthof-Oost is not a neighbourhood that stands out for urban vibrancy, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate about it. The atmosphere is quiet, the streets are clear and contact between neighbours is remarkably good. Maya, who has lived in the neighbourhood for three years, gives the area an 8.9 and describes it as a real top neighbourhood: everyone says hello to each other, there is an annual neighbourhood party on Neighbours' Day and parents meet each other in the playgrounds. That picture matches the resident score on Buurtje.nl: an 8.1 based on reviews, with a notably high score for green space (9.0). Read all resident reviews and neighbourhood data on the Tanthof-Oost neighbourhood page for a complete picture.
That green score is not for nothing. Right next to the neighbourhood lies the Abtwoudse Bos, a vast nature reserve where you can both walk and cycle. On the edge of the neighbourhood there is a football club, which gives the area a village-like, communal character. Accessibility scores an 8.0: Tanthof-Oost is within cycling distance of Delft city centre and is easily accessible by road, although the neighbourhood is not directly located at a train station. Anyone who travels by public transport daily will have to take a bus connection as an intermediate step.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. The Dierenbuurt and the Vogelbuurt-Oost are quiet residential areas popular with families. The Bosrand borders the greenery, as the name suggests, and attracts residents who combine peace and nature with a Delft residential address. The Boerderijbuurt also has its own atmosphere, with a slightly more rural character. Safety scores a 7.5, which is solid but indicates that this is not a neighbourhood known as particularly safe or unsafe. Amenities score a 7.5, which is fair: basic amenities are present, but for extensive shopping or a wide range of hospitality venues you need to go to Delft city centre.
