Buying a house in Midden-Delfland: the housing market in 2026
Midden-Delfland is one of the greenest municipalities in South Holland, and that is precisely why buyers want to live here. Between the hustle and bustle of Delft, The Hague and Rotterdam lies a municipality consisting of open polders, historic village centres and remarkable tranquillity. The municipality has around 19,400 inhabitants, spread across the villages of Schipluiden, Maasland and Den Hoorn, plus a handful of hamlets. Anyone buying a home here consciously chooses space and village life, with the Randstad within cycling distance.
The housing market in Midden-Delfland is strong. As many as 74% of the more than 8,000 homes are owner-occupied, and the average WOZ value is €470,000. Over the past twelve months, 185 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €616,041, with a range of €225,000 to €1,595,000. The average floor area of sold homes is 131 m², indicating that supply mainly consists of single-family homes and larger houses. Buying an apartment in Midden-Delfland is therefore less obvious than in surrounding cities. Check the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices and time on market. Buurtje.nl bundles housing supply from more than 1,500 sources and adds unique neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the house but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Midden-Delfland
Midden-Delfland essentially consists of two large villages, Schipluiden and Maasland, supplemented by Den Hoorn, which partly falls under the municipality. Each village has its own character, facilities and atmosphere. Below you can read what to expect per neighbourhood.
Schipluiden, village heart with the highest rating
Schipluiden is the largest village in the municipality and functions as the administrative and social centre. You will find primary schools, a GP practice, sports clubs and a compact shopping centre around the Keenenburgweg. The village has a historic core with the striking Dorpskerk and around it newer residential areas with many 1990s and recent construction. Residents on Buurtje.nl give Schipluiden a strong 8.1 neighbourhood score. One resident writes: "The combination of peace, green space and yet close to everything is exactly what we were looking for." Families form the largest group of buyers here, attracted by the good schools (education scores an 8.7 municipality-wide) and the safe, green character. Prices are around or slightly above the municipal average, especially for the newer parts. Check the housing supply in Schipluiden for the current overview.
Maasland, rural living along the Gaag
Maasland lies north of Schipluiden, along the historic waterway the Gaag. The village is smaller and feels even more rural. Here you will find more detached homes and farmhouses converted into residences. Facilities are more limited than in Schipluiden: there is a primary school, a small supermarket and an active club life, but for larger shopping trips or secondary schools you drive to Maassluis or Delft. Residents give Maasland a 7.0 neighbourhood score, with accessibility being perceived as less strong. That is correct: without a car you are dependent on the bus here, and the frequency is limited. Those who accept that get a quiet living environment in return with plenty of space. House prices in Maasland vary, from affordable terraced houses to significantly priced detached homes along the polder. Check the available homes in Maasland.
Den Hoorn, the link to Delft
Den Hoorn lies on the eastern side of the municipality and directly borders Delft. This makes the village popular with people who want the peace of Midden-Delfland but also need to be in the city quickly. There is a tram stop (line 1 towards Delft and The Hague), which makes accessibility much better than in Maasland. Den Hoorn has its own village character with shops, schools and hospitality venues on the Dijkshoornseweg. House prices here are on average slightly higher due to the better connections. For those looking for a home to buy with a good balance between village living and accessibility, Den Hoorn is worth considering.
In addition to these three villages, Midden-Delfland also has smaller hamlets and rural areas where homes occasionally come up for sale. Think of Woudse Droogmakerij or the ribbon along the Gaag. Supply there is scarce, but those with patience sometimes find special properties. On the municipal page of Midden-Delfland you will find all ratings and neighbourhood information together.
What to look out for when buying a home in Midden-Delfland?
Firstly: look carefully at accessibility per neighbourhood. Municipality-wide, accessibility scores a 6.5 from residents, the lowest rating. In Schipluiden and Den Hoorn public transport is reasonable, but in Maasland and the rural area you are really dependent on the car. If you commute to Rotterdam or The Hague daily, that makes a difference in your living enjoyment.
Secondly: the market is tight. With 185 sales in a year on a stock of more than 8,000 homes, supply is limited, and sought-after homes sell quickly. Overbidding is not uncommon. Make sure your financing is in order before you start viewing.
Thirdly: compare the villages not only on price but also on facilities. Schipluiden has the most shops and schools, Den Hoorn the best public transport connection, Maasland the most space. What suits you depends on your situation.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to get an honest picture of each neighbourhood. Scores such as safety (8.8) and green space (8.8) are high municipality-wide, but there are also differences per village. Are you also considering renting a home in Midden-Delfland? The rental supply is more limited (26% of the stock), but it can be a stepping stone.
What residents say about living in Midden-Delfland

A resident of Schipluiden sums it up: "Everything you need daily is there, for the rest you cycle to Delft." Want to read all reviews? Check all ratings of Midden-Delfland.

We were immediately taken into the community
Auto-translated to English by AIVaried but generally good.. we have many loose dogs here, something needs to be done about that, but otherwise it's nice and the communication is okay. Also regarding public transport, there is room for improvement. Ground containers, who thought that a full rubbish bag barely fits through the flap? A national dilemma, but in a village in the municipality of Midden Delfland it's very annoying when the waste blows across the polder.
Auto-translated to English by AIGrew up in a warm environment
Auto-translated to English by AIDen Hoorn has been a village for centuries, since 1100 Den Hoorn has been a village; previously it fell under the municipality of Schipluiden and since the formation of the municipality of Midden-Delfland our village falls under that. Den Hoorn is still quite a bit larger than the indicated part on the map, with about 5 or 6 (for the local population) identifiable village parts/neighbourhoods.
