Living in Den Hoorn, Midden-Delfland

Den Hoorn is an independent village with its own identity, and residents are keen to emphasise that. As Michael de Jong puts it: "Den Hoorn is a village, not a neighbourhood. For centuries, since 1100." You notice that village character in the way people interact with each other. The community is close-knit, lines of communication are short, and new residents are quickly welcomed. Resident Kathinka gives the village a 7.4 and writes: "A lovely village with people who still look out for each other. We were immediately taken into the community."

The village has a compact but functional centre around the Dijkshoornseweg and Laan van Tolkien. You will find an Albert Heijn, a baker, a hairdresser and various small shops. For larger groceries or more extensive shopping, you can drive to Delft or The Hague in ten minutes. There are several primary schools in the village, including De Hoornstee and De Schelp, and the resident score for education is above average at 8.0. Sports club VV Den Hoorn and tennis club DHTC ensure an active club life, and the Harnaschpolder recreation area offers space for walking and cycling.

In terms of accessibility, Den Hoorn scores a 6.5, and that is honestly its weak point. There is no train station in the village itself. Tram stop Lian de Keijzerweg (line 1 towards Delft and The Hague) is on the outskirts, and bus lines connect the village with Delft Station. By car, you can quickly reach The Hague or Rotterdam via the A4, but during rush hour it can get quite busy on the Kruithuisweg and Woudseweg. By bike, you can reach the centre of Delft in a quarter of an hour.

The housing stock is varied. In the older centre around the Dijkshoornseweg, there are characteristic village homes. The districts from the 1970s and 1980s mainly consist of terraced houses, while in newer parts such as the Harnaschpolder, there are more spacious semi-detached and detached homes. The average income of €43,700 is above the municipal average of €41,800, and 44% of residents are highly educated. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but with 1,535 children under 15 and 1,430 households with children, it is clearly also a family village. Those who want to explore the buyer's market in the wider region can also look at homes in Schipluiden or the small-scale Hodenpijl.
