What does a rental property cost in Voordijkshoorn? Significantly more expensive than average in Delft
Voordijkshoorn is a neighbourhood where the housing market is firmly priced. The average WOZ value is €391,000, well above the Delft average of €322,000. This also translates into rental prices in the free sector. Over the past twelve months, 22 homes were rented out at an average rent of €2,287 per month, with a range of €675 to €3,500. The average floor area of those homes was 126 m², indicating that these are often larger single-family homes and apartments. Keep in mind that these are annual averages for the free sector, excluding social housing. The current daily prices and available supply can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Of all homes in Voordijkshoorn, 49% are rental properties and 51% are owner-occupied. Within the rental segment, about 35% is owned by housing corporations, while 14% is owned by other landlords. This means that the social housing sector is relatively large here, but waiting times in the Haaglanden region are long. Anyone looking for a rental home in the free sector should therefore expect substantial monthly costs. If you compare this with the broader supply of rental properties in Delft, it is striking that Voordijkshoorn falls into the more expensive segment.
Voordijkshoorn: village feel with urban amenities around the corner
Voordijkshoorn is a neighbourhood that you might not immediately associate with Delft, but precisely because of that it has its own character. The neighbourhood includes the village of Den Hoorn, which retains a remarkably village-like feel despite its proximity to both Delft and The Hague. On the neighbourhood page of Voordijkshoorn, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. What stands out: the scores for safety (9.0) and education (9.5) are notably high, while accessibility (6.5) and sense of community (6.0) lag somewhat behind.
Resident Sjoerd describes it aptly: "A nice, cosy village. They have everything you need, like a football field, a supermarket, a snack bar. There are many schools. Safety is good because nothing strange ever happens and there isn't much litter either." That experience fits the picture: Voordijkshoorn is a neighbourhood where you let your children play outside without worry. The districts Den Hoorn and Hoornse Hof have the strongest village character, with low-rise buildings and plenty of greenery (score: 7.5). Newer parts such as Ecodus and Westlandhof are more modern and compact in design.
In terms of accessibility, there is a caveat. The neighbourhood does not have its own train station, and you are dependent on bus lines towards Delft Station or tram 1 to The Hague. By car, you are quickly on the A4 and A13, but you notice this during rush hour. The score of 6.5 for accessibility is therefore recognisable. Amenities score a 7.0: in Den Hoorn you will find an Albert Heijn, a GP and hospitality venues, but for extensive shopping you go to the centre of Delft or to the Westland. The beauty score (6.0) shows that the neighbourhood is functionally laid out, not necessarily atmospheric. It is not the Binnenstad with canals and terraces, but rather a quiet home base.
Renting in Voordijkshoorn: suitable for families, less so for students
With an average income of €43,200 (higher than the €34,700 in all of Delft) and 47% highly educated, Voordijkshoorn mainly attracts dual-income earners and families. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and there are relatively many households with children. For them, the combination of good schools, a safe environment and larger homes is attractive. If you want to rent an apartment in Voordijkshoorn and have a smaller budget, you may find better options in neighbourhoods such as Tanthof-West or Vrijenban. For students or starters, the free sector here is simply too expensive, and social housing has long waiting times. Would you rather consider buying?

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is deteriorating very quickly unfortunately. Rubbish is increasingly being dumped next to containers, more drug-using residents and their associated dealers. Hardly any parking spaces left for visitors, the surrounding neighbourhoods come here to park to avoid paid parking in their own area, the church musicians park the area full of expensive cars on Wednesday evenings. The general condition of older homes is poor despite renovation. Cracks in balconies and ceilings are hidden under coating, insulation or paint. The new-build owner-occupied homes have brought a lot of antisocial people (not from Delft) with them, making the playground less fun for the children who grew up here and leaving a lot of rubbish behind. Cars are parked on street corners, making it impossible to see as a road user. Cars are parked on passing and refuge areas, on Van Kinschotstraat, cars are half in the middle of the road up to beyond the designated parking spaces at the bus crossing. In short, the neighbourhood is increasingly busy and increasingly antisocial. Not to mention the perspective houses in between that cause nuisance. Old residents who have lived here for years and are moving because of nuisance-causing new neighbours, it's all just possible nowadays. Don't forget the housing associations, taking responsibility for overdue maintenance, serious defects and living nuisance, Stedelink and Woonbron also don't. The low flats near the bicycle tunnel are completely disfiguring the neighbourhood, people dump everything by the container or on the street there. That landlord also doesn't show himself. Enforcement is never there either and I haven't seen the neighbourhood police officer in 28 years.
