Homes for sale in Delftlanden, Emmen

House prices in Delftlanden: well above the Emmen average

Delftlanden is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood. As many as 90% of the 651 homes are owner-occupied, and you can tell from the atmosphere: they are predominantly spacious single-family homes and detached houses, not apartment blocks. The average WOZ value is €368,000, which is significantly higher than the municipal average of €240,000 in Emmen. The transaction figures from the past twelve months confirm this picture: of the 12 homes sold, the average purchase price was €610,083, with a range of €400,000 to €799,000 and an average living area of 161 m². Buying in Delftlanden is therefore not a cheap affair. View the current supply and current asking prices at the top of this page.

Delftlanden: a quiet family neighbourhood with space and greenery

Living in Delftlanden feels different than in most other Emmen neighbourhoods. The streets are wide, the gardens generous, and traffic does not pass through but goes to the area. The neighbourhood was systematically developed in the 1980s and 1990s, and you can see it: everything is clear, the buildings are consistent, and there is plenty of public green space. Families with children are clearly in the majority here, with 405 households with children as the largest category. The age group of 25 to 45 is the most strongly represented, and the labour participation rate of 74% and the average income of €41,200 are noticeably higher than elsewhere in the municipality. On the neighbourhood page of Delftlanden you will find resident reviews and all neighbourhood data together. Residents appreciate the peace and space, and several reviews mention the child-friendliness of the area as a major plus. A frequently heard point of criticism is that amenities are not right around the corner and that you need the car for almost everything.

In terms of amenities, Delftlanden itself is modestly equipped. There is no neighbourhood shopping centre within the neighbourhood itself; for daily groceries you drive to the nearby shopping centre in Emmerhout or to the centre of Emmen, about five to ten minutes away. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the youngest residents, and for secondary education, pupils rely on schools elsewhere in Emmen. For sports, there are opportunities through clubs in the surrounding neighbourhoods. The neighbourhood borders green areas suitable for walking and cycling, which residents find pleasant.

Accessibility in Delftlanden is almost entirely by car. The connection to the N34 and via Emmen to the A37 towards Hoogeveen and Groningen is reasonably quick to reach. Emmen train station is about ten minutes away by car, with connections to Zwolle and beyond. Public transport within the neighbourhood is limited; bus services are not frequent. Those without a car notice this. If you compare Delftlanden with surrounding villages such as Nieuw-Dordrecht or Barger-Compascuum, Delftlanden offers more urban proximity but less village charm. If you prefer a more rural setting, you could also look at Emmer-Compascuum.

For whom is a home to buy in Delftlanden a good choice?

Delftlanden mainly attracts families looking for space, wanting a garden, and preferring the tranquillity of a residential neighbourhood over urban vibrancy. With average sale prices around €610,000, buying a house in Delftlanden is not a starter market. First-time buyers and those with a smaller budget would do well to also compare the broader supply in Emmen. When purchasing, factor in transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers above the starter exemption), notary costs, and any structural survey. Buying an apartment in Delftlanden is virtually impossible; the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at rental homes in Delftlanden as a temporary alternative.
