Of the more than 1,300 homes in the neighbourhood, only 31% are owner-occupied, while 68% are rented, largely by housing associations and private landlords. This limited owner-occupied percentage makes supply scarce and competition for a suitable home accordingly high.

The average WOZ value in Voorhof-Hoogbouw is €228,000. That is lower than the average for the district Voorhof (€246,000) and significantly lower than the Delft average of €322,000. For buyers looking for an affordable entry point in Delft, this is a relevant factor. Actual transaction prices are higher than the WOZ value: over the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €283,179. The range ran from €265,000 to €300,000.

Living in Voorhof-Hoogbouw, Delft

Voorhof-Hoogbouw is a neighbourhood you won't quickly forget once you drive through it. The name says it all: this is the part of the Voorhof district where stacked construction dominates. Flat buildings from the 1960s and 1970s define the streetscape, interspersed with green strips and spacious gaps that give the neighbourhood a certain airiness. It is not a neighbourhood that impresses with architectural details, but those who live here appreciate the peace and space you find outside your door.

Resident J.N. describes it aptly: "Not too busy. Not too quiet." That balance is precisely what attracts many residents here. The neighbourhood scores a total of 7.9 out of 10, with notably high scores for accessibility (10.0), education (9.0) and safety (8.0). The only clear point of concern is the score for housing (5.0), which likely reflects the limited variety in housing types and the dated appearance of some of the flats.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Voorhof shopping centre, on Brasserskade, offers a supermarket, a pharmacy and various shops for daily needs. For a larger range of shops, Delft city centre is easily reachable by bike, usually within ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport accessibility is excellent: several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with Delft station and the wider city network. For motorists, the connection to the A13 and A4 motorways is quickly reached via the Provinciale weg.

Children in the neighbourhood can attend several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, which explains the high score for education. The greenery in the neighbourhood, including along the Brasserskade and in the park strips between the flats, provides play space and a green appearance you don't always expect with high-rise. The neighbourhood therefore scores an 8.0 for green space.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as the Mythologiebuurt or the Roland Holstbuurt, which have more low-rise housing, Voorhof-Hoogbouw has a distinctly urban character. Poptahof-Noord is similar in atmosphere and housing type, although prices and demographic composition differ per neighbourhood. More information about the neighbourhood, resident reviews and district data can be found on the page for Voorhof-Hoogbouw. If you want to see the broader context, the page about owner-occupied homes in Voorhof provides a good overview of the entire district.

Who is a home in Voorhof-Hoogbouw interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts young singles and couples: the age group 25 to 45 is by far the largest, and single-person households, with 880 units, are the dominant household type. That fits the housing type: compact apartments averaging 65 m² are suitable for first-time buyers on the owner-occupied market or people who consciously choose a smaller, affordable apartment in Voorhof-Hoogbouw without the high Delft city centre prices.

Keep in mind that the annual sales volume is limited to 14 transactions. Anyone wanting to buy a home in Voorhof-Hoogbouw would do well to act quickly and have their financing in order before a viewing takes place. Families with multiple children may find the space in a 65 m² apartment too cramped. For them, neighbouring areas such as the Aart van der Leeuwbuurt or districts like Voordijkshoorn offer more space and variety. Those considering renting instead of buying can view the supply of rental homes in Voorhof-Hoogbouw as an alternative.
