Homes for sale in Westlandhof, Delft

House prices and market figures Westlandhof, Delft

Westlandhof is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 24% of the 828 homes are privately owned, while 51% are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes scarce and competition for available properties correspondingly high. The average WOZ value is €239,000, which is significantly lower than the municipal average of €322,000 for Delft and even further from the district average of €391,000 in Voordijkshoorn. This difference says something about the type of housing and construction period in this neighbourhood.

Actual transaction prices are higher than the WOZ value suggests. In the past twelve months, seven owner-occupied homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €361,929, with a range of €325,000 to €440,000.

Living in Westlandhof, Delft

Westlandhof is a compact, predominantly low-rise neighbourhood on the southwest side of Delft, bordering the countryside towards Den Hoorn. The neighbourhood has a quiet, almost village-like character that you wouldn't immediately expect so close to the city centre. The buildings mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s: porch flats, gallery flats and a limited number of single-family homes alternate. The public space is green and spacious, with many green strips and playgrounds between the residential blocks.

The population composition is diverse. With 625 single-person households out of a total of approximately 1,250 residents, there are relatively many single people, but also families with children (the 0-15 age group has 65 people) and seniors (265 residents over 65). The largest group, 505 people, falls in the 25 to 45 age category. This mix gives the neighbourhood a certain liveliness without feeling busy or hectic.

For daily shopping, you can go to the supermarket on the edge of the neighbourhood or in the nearby shopping centre in Den Hoorn. Primary schools are within cycling distance, both within Westlandhof and in adjacent neighbourhoods. The greenery in the neighbourhood itself offers space for a walk or a game of football, but if you want more nature, you can drive or cycle to Delftse Hout, the recreational area on the east side of the city.

In terms of accessibility, Westlandhof relies on the bus or bicycle for public transport towards the centre of Delft. Delft Station is about four kilometres away, easily reachable by bike in about fifteen minutes. By car, the A4 is quickly accessible via Den Hoorn, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to The Hague or Rotterdam. Bus services run regularly, although the frequency outside peak hours is more limited than in more central districts.

Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Westlandhof, a resident writes: "It's nice and quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children can play outside safely. Not the most exciting neighbourhood, but pleasant to live in." Criticism often focuses on the maintenance of public spaces and the limited dining and entertainment options in the immediate vicinity. Those looking for more urban vibrancy tend to look at neighbourhoods like Kuyperwijk-Noord or Marlot, which are slightly closer to the centre. Hoornse Hof is also an interesting comparison if the atmosphere of this southwestern corner of Delft appeals to you.

Is a home for sale in Westlandhof right for you?

Westlandhof mainly appeals to buyers who consciously choose peace, space and a lower entry price compared to other Delft districts. First-time buyers who want to live just outside the hustle and bustle of the centre and commuters who want quick access to the motorway will find a realistic entry point here. However, the supply is limited: seven transactions in twelve months says enough. If you want more flexibility, you can also look at rental homes in Westlandhof, where the supply is considerably larger. Seniors who want to downsize in a green and quiet environment will also find suitable options here, provided they are not dependent on extensive amenities within walking distance.
