A room on the TU-Campus
This is a room on the Balthasar van der Polweg, right in the middle of Delft's university quarter. It's a social housing rental, so the rent is set at a level that reflects that. At €742 for 34 square metres, the price is in line with what other rooms in the area go for. If you're looking at rooms in Delft, this one sits at the higher end of the market, but the location and the modern build year explain that.
The TU-Campus neighbourhood
The TU-Campus neighbourhood is exactly what you'd expect from a university campus: almost everyone here is a student. The figures show that 87% of households are single-person, and the vast majority of residents are between 15 and 45. It's a young, transient area, so don't expect a quiet family street. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, with no owner-occupied homes at all. That makes for a lively, student-focused atmosphere where most people are in the same boat.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, the SPAR is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a ten-minute walk away. There's also a PLUS and a Jumbo within a couple of streets. For schools, the International School Delft is a ten-minute walk, and there are several primary schools nearby, including the Monseigneur Bekkersschool and the Prins Mauritsschool. The train station is about three kilometres away, so it's a short cycle into the centre of Delft or further afield. The municipality of Delft has plenty to offer beyond the campus, with the historic centre and all its amenities within easy reach.
