Buying a house in Pijnacker-Nootdorp: the housing market in 2026
Pijnacker-Nootdorp is wedged between The Hague, Delft and Zoetermeer, combining the green, village-like character of the South Holland polders with excellent connections to the major cities. The municipality has nearly 58,000 residents and mainly attracts families and dual-income couples who want more space than in the city, without sacrificing accessibility. Via the A12, A13 and the Randstadrail, you can reach The Hague Central Station or Delft within fifteen minutes. This makes the municipality popular with people working at The Hague ministries, Delft University of Technology or Westland.
The housing market is strongly geared towards buyers: 72% of the more than 22,400 homes are owner-occupied, only 28% are rental. The average WOZ value is €482,000. In the past twelve months, 224 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €697,444, with a range from €200,000 to €3,495,000. The market is tight: homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception, especially for family homes. At the top of this page you will find the current supply, including average asking price and time to sell. On Buurtje.nl, we combine that housing supply from more than 1,500 sources with neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only see what is for sale, but also what it is really like to live there.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Pijnacker-Nootdorp
The municipality consists of three clearly recognisable centres: Pijnacker, Nootdorp and Delfgauw. Each has its own character, price level and type of resident. Below is an overview per centre, so you know where to best start your search.
Pijnacker, the beating heart of the municipality
Pijnacker is the largest centre and offers the most variety: from characteristic 1930s homes around the Oude Leede to modern new-build in Keijzershof and Ackerswoude. Families with children form the largest group, attracted by good primary schools, sports clubs and the shopping centre at Raadhuisplein. Residents give Pijnacker an 8.0 based on 10 reviews, with high scores for safety (8.5) and education (8.4). Prices are around or slightly above the municipal average, especially in the newer neighbourhoods like Ackerswoude where detached homes exceed €800,000.

Nootdorp, village living with the Randstadrail on your doorstep
Nootdorp is more compact and feels even more village-like than Pijnacker. The old centre around Dorpsstraat has a cosy atmosphere with local shops and eateries. The Nootdorp stop on the Randstadrail makes it particularly attractive for commuters heading to The Hague. Residents rate Nootdorp with an 8.0 from 2 reviews. A resident of Nootdorp describes it as: "Quiet and green, but within ten minutes you are in the centre of The Hague." House prices are comparable to Pijnacker, although you will find slightly more apartments in the mid-range here. If you want to buy an apartment in Pijnacker-Nootdorp, it is a good idea to check the available homes in Nootdorp.
Delfgauw, affordable alternative close to Delft
Delfgauw lies on the southern side of the municipality, a stone's throw from Delft. It is the smallest centre and has a more down-to-earth appearance: less new-build, more terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s. This makes Delfgauw interesting for first-time buyers and movers looking for an affordable home without leaving the municipality. The neighbourhood score is 7.2 based on 1 review, so there are still few ratings. For amenities, you rely on Delft or Pijnacker, but the location on the A13 compensates for that. View what is for sale in Delfgauw.
In addition to these three centres, there are sub-areas such as Oude Leede, Koningshof and the rural area towards the Zuidpolder that are worth exploring. On the municipality page of Pijnacker-Nootdorp you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood, so you can compare which area suits you best.
What to look out for when buying a home in Pijnacker-Nootdorp?
Firstly: look beyond just Pijnacker centre. Delfgauw often offers better value for money, while you still live within the municipal boundaries and benefit from the same amenities. Especially as a first-time buyer, this can make the difference between being able to buy or not.
Secondly: allow for a tight market. With an average sale price of nearly €700,000 and quick sale times, it is wise to have your financing arranged in advance. A buying agent with local knowledge can help assess a realistic bid. Also consult the website of the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp for information on zoning plans and construction projects that could affect the value of your home.
Thirdly: accessibility varies per neighbourhood. Nootdorp has the Randstadrail, Pijnacker has bus connections and Delfgauw relies on the car. Consider what is a priority for you. And finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to get an honest picture of what daily life is like in a neighbourhood. That tells you more than a nice photo on an estate agent's site. Prefer flexibility? Then also check out a rental home in Pijnacker-Nootdorp as an alternative.
