The Centrum-Zuidwest neighbourhood
Centrum-Zuidwest is a compact, lively part of the old town where most households are single people, and the age mix leans heavily towards students and young professionals. With around 1,570 residents, it is a busy, urban pocket rather than a quiet family street, and the housing stock is mostly rental. The area is known for its narrow streets, historic facades and the constant hum of people moving between the market square, the university and the station. The Centrum-Zuidwest neighbourhood is one of the most central spots in Delft, so everything you need for daily life is close at hand.
Life on the street
Achterom sits within easy walking distance of several supermarkets, with Jumbo about 292 metres away and Albert Heijn just a bit further, so picking up groceries is a quick errand.

Schools are also nearby, including the Christelijk Lyceum Delft and the Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Oostpoort, while the International School Delft is. The train station is roughly 900 metres away, which makes getting out of town straightforward. The municipality of Delft has plenty going on, from the Markt to the museums, all within a short stroll.

About Achterom, Delft
Why was the rent so much lower than the neighbourhood average?
The rent of €550 was about 70% below the average of €1,852 for rentals in Centrum-Zuidwest. That gap made sense because this was a room rather than a full apartment, and the listing did not state a floor area. The neighbourhood average covers all rental properties, including larger homes, so the comparison is not direct.

Centrum-Zuidwest is heavily student-oriented, with 40% of residents aged 15 to 25 and another 36% aged 25 to 45. Most households are single people, and the area is dense and urban. It is a lively part of Delft where the university, bars and shops are all within walking distance.
How far is the train station?
The train station is about 900 metres from the street, which is roughly a ten-minute walk through the centre. That makes it easy to reach other cities without needing a bike or car.
Why were there no property details in this listing?
