Schieweg between city and polder: what residents really think

Living in Schieweg means living in a special place: the neighbourhood borders open polder land but is also close to urban amenities. That contrast largely defines its character. Residents appreciate the peace and space that can still be found here, especially towards Schieweg-Polder, where the rural character prevails. On the Schieweg neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their area, including scores per category such as safety, greenery and accessibility. A recurring theme in the reviews is the location: close to the motorway and the station, but without constantly being bothered by them. One resident describes it as: "you feel like you live just outside the city here, but Delft Central is only ten minutes by bike."

For daily shopping, you rely on supermarkets in the adjacent neighbourhoods, as Schieweg itself has no large shopping centre. The Delftzicht neighbourhood borders it and has more amenities nearby. Primary schools are accessible in the area, although for a wide range of secondary schools you need to head towards the centre or other neighbourhoods. In terms of sports, the location on the polder and along the water offers opportunities for runners and cyclists. The Schie runs along the neighbourhood and forms a green connection towards both Delft and Schiedam.

Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's stronger points. Delft Station is easily reachable by bike, and via the A13 you are quickly towards The Hague or Rotterdam. Bus services provide a supplement to public transport. Those who regularly take the car will appreciate the proximity of the motorway. The industrial character of the adjacent Schieweg-Noord Business Park and Schieweg-Zuid Business Park is something to consider when choosing a specific location within the neighbourhood. More information about neighbourhood development and municipal plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Delft.

For whom is buying in Schieweg a realistic option?

With an average purchase price of over €563,000, buying a house in Schieweg is no longer a starter story. The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and dual-income households who are looking for space but do not want to leave the city entirely. The high education level of 61% of residents and the above-average income of €44,700 (compared to €34,700 in the municipality) confirm that picture. In addition to the purchase price, factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Supply is limited, so buying a home in Schieweg requires quick decisions. Those who need more time to orient themselves can also look at rental homes in Schieweg as an interim solution.
