Homes for sale in Wippolder, Delft

What does a home in Wippolder cost?

The owner-occupied market in Wippolder is compact but lively. Only 22% of the more than 7,200 homes are owner-occupied, the rest are rental (of which almost half are housing association properties). This limited supply of owner-occupied homes creates competition. In the past twelve months, 62 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €551,210, with a range of €230,000 to €1,395,000. The average floor area was 117 m². Notably, the WOZ value in Wippolder is €279,000, well below the Delft average of €322,000. This difference is because the neighbourhood has many smaller apartments occupied by students and starters. The actual transaction prices are therefore much higher than the WOZ value suggests.

Living in Wippolder: student neighbourhood with surprisingly much peace

Wippolder is one of those neighbourhoods you only truly appreciate once you live there. On paper, it is a typical student neighbourhood, with 4,105 residents aged 15 to 25 and over 6,360 single-person households. But residents on Buurtje.nl give the neighbourhood a 7.7 out of 10, and it is precisely the combination of liveliness and peace that is appreciated. Resident M.T. writes about the Zeeheldenbuurt: "When you cycle from the centre or the station, you go from busy and chaotic to very quiet." That experience is typical for large parts of Wippolder.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is practically laid out. There is a local supermarket, although resident Turi notes that it is "a shame there is only one local supermarket." For a larger grocery shop, you cycle to the centre of Delft in five minutes or to the shops along the Vrijenbanselaan in Vrijenban. Along the Rotterdamseweg and near the TU campus, you will find various eateries and small specialist shops. For sports, there are facilities at the TU sports hall and in the Hertenkamp park, where you can also go for a run. Primary school De Horizon and the Daltonschool are within cycling distance, and the sub-score for education is a solid 7.8. Residents give the highest score to safety (8.4), although Turi adds a caveat: "It is not the safest. 2 murders. But otherwise hygienic, nice people." Around New Year's Eve it can be restless, but daily life is generally calm.

Accessibility scores an 8.0, and rightly so. Delft Station is a ten-minute bike ride away, with direct Intercity trains to The Hague (8 minutes), Rotterdam (12 minutes) and Amsterdam (approximately 55 minutes). Bus lines 40 and 69 serve the Rotterdamseweg and the Julianalaan. By car, you quickly reach the A13 via the Kruithuisweg, although resident L. warns that "for people not from Delft, it can be confusing with the navigation" due to the one-way traffic. The neighbourhood has various districts, each with its own character. In TU-Noord and around the Professorenbuurt you will find more single-family homes, while Wippolder-Zuid and the Koningsveldbuurt are more compact with many apartments.

Does Wippolder suit you as a buyer?

Buying a home in Wippolder is especially interesting for starters and young professionals who appreciate the proximity to the TU and the centre. With an average income of €30,500 in the neighbourhood and an average purchase price above half a million, it is necessary for many starters to consider buying an apartment in Wippolder in the lower segment around €230,000 to €300,000.
