The average WOZ value is €468,000, just below the municipal average of €482,000 for Pijnacker-Nootdorp.

The supply mainly consists of single-family homes, from terraced houses to detached villas, particularly in the new-build neighbourhoods around the Emerald area.

Living in Delfgauw: polder air, new neighbourhoods and a quiet family life

Delfgauw is not a neighbourhood with a bustling city centre or a row of pubs. It is a place that families consciously choose: spacious homes, lots of greenery, little traffic and schools within cycling distance. Residents on the Delfgauw neighbourhood page rate the area a 7.2 out of 10. Greenery scores notably high with a 9, and accessibility (8) and education (8) are also rated positively. Less strong are the scores for community (6) and housing (6). Resident Seth Koster sums it up matter-of-factly: "pretty decent, I think it's fine, mate." That says a lot: Delfgauw is not a neighbourhood that blows you away, but one that simply works well.

The neighbourhood consists of several districts, each with its own character. Emerald Centrum, Emerald Noord and Emerald Zuid are relatively new development areas with modern homes, wide streets and plenty of greenery. Oud-Delfgauw has a very different face: here you will find the historic ribbon along the Delfgauwseweg with older buildings and a more rural atmosphere. Furthermore, there are the polder areas Noordpolder Delfgauw and Zuidpolder Delfgauw, and the hamlet Ruyven on the edge of the municipality. For daily groceries, there is a supermarket in the area, and in neighbouring Pijnacker you will find a wider range of shops. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood itself, which explains the high education score. Sports clubs, playgrounds and cycling routes through the surrounding polder landscape complete the offering for families with children.

In terms of accessibility, Delfgauw scores well. The A13 and A12 are a short distance away, making The Hague and Rotterdam reachable by car within twenty minutes. Delft is even closer. Public transport goes via bus connections to Pijnacker-Zuid station and Delft station, from where you can quickly continue by train. The cycling connections to surrounding towns are well maintained. If you want to compare with other towns in the municipality, you can also look at Pijnacker or Nootdorp, both with their own housing market and atmosphere.

For whom is buying a home in Delfgauw a good choice?

Delfgauw mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space without the hustle and bustle of a big city. With an average sale price of almost €694,000, buying in Delfgauw is not cheap, and first-time buyers will find it difficult without substantial equity or savings. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees and any renovation costs. Supply is limited and the market moves quickly, so be prepared. If you want more flexibility, you can also look at rental homes in Delfgauw as an alternative. If you want to buy an apartment in Delfgauw, supply is limited; the emphasis is clearly on ground-based homes.
