House prices and market figures for Schoemakerplantage, Delft
The owner-occupied market in Schoemakerplantage is limited in size, but that does not make it any less interesting. Of the 856 homes in the neighbourhood, only 19% are owner-occupied, while 81% are rented, largely by private landlords. That high rental percentage fits the young, highly educated population living here, but it also means that owner-occupied homes in Schoemakerplantage are relatively scarce.
The average WOZ value is €268,000, which is lower than the average for the district Wippolder (€279,000) and clearly below the Delft average of €322,000. Yet actual transaction prices are significantly higher: over the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold for an average of €585,929. Prices ranged from €445,000 to €850,000, with an average living area of 118 m². That works out to approximately €4,965 per square metre.

Living in Schoemakerplantage, Delft
Schoemakerplantage is a neighbourhood you do not immediately recognise by a striking square or a busy shopping street. It is a quiet, green residential area on the northwest side of Delft, directly adjacent to the TU Delft campus. The name refers to the historic plantation layout: wide avenues with mature trees give the streets a leafy character that you do not find in many other Delft neighbourhoods.
The buildings largely date from the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of porch flats, gallery flats and some terraced houses. Many of these flats are owned by private landlords, giving the neighbourhood a mixed ownership character. The owner-occupied homes that are there are generally more spacious than average, with an average area of 118 m². This attracts more movers and families rather than starters looking for a first apartment.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functionally laid out. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within cycling distance via the Rotterdamseweg. Primary school De Regenboog is within walking distance, and for secondary education, Stanislascollege and Grotius College are easily accessible. Sportpark Tanthof and the green banks of the Schie offer space for outdoor activities. The TU sports centre is an extra asset for residents with a university connection.
Accessibility is good for those used to cycling, which is the norm in this neighbourhood. Delft station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to The Hague and Rotterdam. Bus lines via the Kruithuisweg connect the neighbourhood to the city centre and other districts. By car, the A13 is quickly accessible via the Rotterdamseweg.
Residents appreciate the peace and greenery, but are sometimes critical of the state of public spaces. One resident wrote: "Nice living due to the spacious layout and the trees, but the pavements and parking spaces could do with a makeover." More reviews and neighbourhood scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Schoemakerplantage.
Compared to neighbouring community TU-Noord, Schoemakerplantage is somewhat quieter and more family-oriented. The Zeeheldenbuurt has a more compact, more urban atmosphere. Those looking for more space and greenery but still wanting to be close to the TU and the city centre will find a balanced choice in Schoemakerplantage. Also look at Wippolder-Noord if you want a broader picture of the supply in the area.
Who is a home in Schoemakerplantage interesting for?
Given the average sale price of almost €586,000, buying in Schoemakerplantage is not an option for starters with a limited budget. The neighbourhood mainly attracts highly educated dual-income earners and movers, which the data also confirms: 66% of residents have a high level of education and the average income of €45,800 is clearly above the Delft average. Families with children feel at home due to the larger homes and the green streetscape.
Be honest with yourself about the budget: with a range of €445,000 to €850,000 and a limited number of transactions per year (14 in the past twelve months), supply is scarce. Overbidding is realistic. Those wanting more choice can also look at owner-occupied homes in Wippolder or the broader supply of owner-occupied homes in Delft. If you are not yet ready to buy, the page with rental homes in Schoemakerplantage offers a good alternative to get to know the neighbourhood first.
