House prices and market figures for Delftzicht, Delft
The owner-occupied market in Delftzicht is relatively compact but active. Of the 746 homes in the neighbourhood, 48% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, divided between housing association homes (25%) and other landlords (26%). This balance means that Delftzicht is a mixed neighbourhood, not a typical owner-occupied area but certainly not a social housing enclave either.
The average WOZ value is €421,000, which is almost the same as the average for the wider Schieweg district (€429,000) and significantly higher than the Delft average of €322,000. That difference of nearly a hundred thousand euros compared to the municipality says something about Delftzicht's position: it is a sought-after location within Delft. Actual transaction prices are even higher. In the past twelve months, 12 homes were sold for an average of €563,000, with a range of €385,000 to €715,000. With an average living area of 98 m², that works out to around €5,745 per square metre. That is firmly priced.

Living in Delftzicht, Delft
Delftzicht is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the north side of Delft, bordering the water of the Schie. The name refers not for nothing to that location: from parts of the neighbourhood you have views of the greenery and canals that characterise this part of Delft. The housing stock largely consists of homes from the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of apartments. It is not a neighbourhood with spectacular architecture, but it does feel solid and liveable.
The population composition is remarkably diverse for such a small neighbourhood of just over 1,400 residents. The largest group is 25 to 45 years old (435 people), but the 45-plus group is also well represented. Single-person households are the most common (445), while 33% of residents are married. This gives Delftzicht a mixed character: young professionals alongside families alongside older residents. The education level is high: 62% have completed higher education, and the labour participation rate is 64%. The average income of €44,900 is clearly above the Delft average of €34,700.
In terms of amenities, Delftzicht is not a neighbourhood with a large shopping centre around the corner, but daily life is well catered for. Supermarkets and shops in the surrounding districts are within cycling distance. For more extensive shopping or dining out, Delft city centre can be reached in about ten minutes by bike. Children from the neighbourhood attend schools in the immediate vicinity; the municipality of Delft provides an overview of school offerings via delft.nl. Green spaces are present in the form of the banks along the Schie and smaller parks in the residential streets themselves.
Accessibility is a strong point. Delft Station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, providing direct connections to The Hague, Rotterdam and Leiden. For motorists, the A13 is quickly reachable via the Schieweg, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to the Randstad. Bus services connect Delftzicht with the centre and other parts of the city.
Residents appreciate the tranquillity and the location by the water. On the Delftzicht neighbourhood page you can read resident reviews with scores per category. One resident writes: "It's quiet living here, you hardly notice the hustle and bustle of the city, but you're there in no time if you want to be." Recurring criticisms relate to parking pressure in some streets and the limited availability of local dining and shops directly in the neighbourhood itself.
Compared to the other neighbourhoods in the Schieweg district, Delftzicht is the most residential. The Bedrijventerrein Schieweg-Noord and Bedrijventerrein Schieweg-Zuid are, as the name suggests, not residential areas. The Schieweg-Polder has a very different, more rural character. If you are looking for a home to buy in a residential neighbourhood with an urban location, Delftzicht is the right place within the district.
Does a home to buy in Delftzicht suit you as a buyer?
Delftzicht particularly appeals to young dual-income couples and movers who want peace and quiet without leaving the city. The high average purchase price of €563,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers, especially given that homes in this neighbourhood tend to sell above the asking price. The limited number of transactions (12 in a year) means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Seniors looking to downsize will find limited options for ground-floor apartments here. If you want to rent to get to know the neighbourhood first, you can look at the rental properties in Delftzicht as an intermediate step. If you are willing to search more broadly, districts such as Vrijenban or Voordijkshoorn offer similar living quality with sometimes more supply.
What residents say about Delftzicht
