Tanthof-West from the inside: green, quiet, but not for everyone
Living in Tanthof-West means choosing a post-war family neighbourhood on the southwest side of Delft. The neighbourhood has a clear stamp: spacious layout, many porch flats and terraced houses, wide streets, and a predominantly quiet atmosphere. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, which sets the tone: this is not a bustling student neighbourhood, but a place where people have lived for years and know the area. Or want to know it, because that is not a given.

None. Everyone for themselves. People come and go. A lot could be improved. There isn't enough green in the neighbourhood. Drunks in the gate and playgrounds. Loitering youths, etc. Everyone for themselves. People walk their dogs in playgrounds, gates, front gardens, etc. What a pestilent mess it is. If I get the chance to leave, I'm gone‼️ What an unpleasant neighbourhood it has become. Unsafe, burglaries, etc. Yuck.
