Living in Vrijheidsbuurt, Delft
Vrijheidsbuurt is a quiet, well-organised residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Delft, part of the Buitenhof district. Walking around here, you mainly see post-war terraced houses and porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with some larger semi-detached homes. The streets are wide, there is relatively much greenery in the form of parks and trees along the road, and cars are usually parked in front of the door. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architecture or trendy coffee shops, but that is not why people choose it. Residents appreciate the peace, space and the feeling of an ordinary, solid residential area.
For daily shopping, the Buitenhof shopping centre is within cycling distance, with a supermarket, bakery and pharmacy. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, which some residents experience as a drawback. Children can attend several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in neighbouring areas. Sports clubs are located around the sports park on the edge of Buitenhof. There is no large park right around the corner, but the green streets and small playgrounds give the neighbourhood an open character nonetheless.
In terms of accessibility, Vrijheidsbuurt does reasonably well. By bike, you can reach the centre of Delft in twenty minutes. Bus line 40 (towards Delft station and Zoetermeer) stops in the neighbourhood and offers a direct connection to Delft station, from where intercity trains depart for The Hague and Rotterdam. By car, the A13 is quickly accessible via the Provincial road, which appeals to commuters to Rotterdam or The Hague. Parking is free on most streets, although it can be a challenge at busy times.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Reinier de Graafbuurt and Juniusbuurt, Vrijheidsbuurt is somewhat quieter in character and has a slightly higher WOZ value. Buitenhof-Noord offers similar housing types but a different price profile. Those seeking more urbanity should look at the Binnenstad or Vrijenban. More neighbourhood information, resident reviews and an overall score can be found on the Vrijheidsbuurt neighbourhood page.
The municipality of Delft actively invests in the liveability of the Buitenhof districts. On delft.nl you can find up-to-date information about ongoing projects and plans in the neighbourhood.
Who is a home in Vrijheidsbuurt a good choice for?
Vrijheidsbuurt attracts a mixed audience. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, translating into a mix of young families and dual-income earners looking for space at a reasonable price. Single-person households are the most represented (505 out of approximately 730 households), partly due to the share of rental homes and smaller apartments. For first-time buyers, buying in Vrijheidsbuurt is feasible at the lower end of the market, although the range starts at €300,000. Movers looking to go from an apartment to a terraced house will find more space here than in the Binnenstad for similar money. Seniors have lived here for a long time and feel at home in the quiet surroundings. Be honest with yourself: the supply is limited (ten transactions in a year), so if you want to buy quickly, you need to be alert. Also consider rental homes in Vrijheidsbuurt as a temporary alternative while waiting for the right property to buy.
