A brand-new room on the TU-Campus
This is a room in a brand-new building on the Balthasar van der Polweg, right in the heart of Delft's university quarter. The listing was for a room of 27 m², built in 2024, with an A++ energy label, so it was as efficient as it got. At €854 a month, the rent sat above the average for rooms in the neighbourhood, which was in line with the new build and the high energy rating. For context, rooms in Delft are scarce, and this one is part of a small supply. This home has not been online since 6 November 2026.
The TU-Campus neighbourhood
The TU-Campus neighbourhood is dominated by students, with 52% of residents aged 15 to 25 and another 47% between 25 and 45. Almost nine in ten households are single-person, and there are virtually no families with children. The housing stock is entirely rental, with a strong presence of social housing. It is a young, transient area, built around the university, so the rhythm of the day follows lectures and study sessions rather than school runs.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, the SPAR is just around the corner, with a Lidl a couple of streets away and a PLUS and Jumbo within a ten-minute walk. The International School Delft is a ten-minute walk away, and there are several primary and secondary schools within a couple of kilometres. The train station is 2.8 km away, so a bike is the natural way to get around. This is a practical, student-focused part of the municipality of Delft, where everything you need for daily life is close by.

Frequently asked questions
About Balthasar van der Polweg 309, Delft
Was €854 a fair price for this room?
The rent was €854 per month for a 27 m² room in a 2024 building with an A++ energy label. The average rent for a room in the TU-Campus neighbourhood was €664, so this one was noticeably above that. The new build and the very high energy label explain part of the difference. Whether it was fair depended on what you value, but the price was clearly at the upper end for the area.
What did the A++ energy label mean for my energy costs?
The label is an official registration, and for a building from 2024 it reflects a high standard of efficiency. You will not need to budget much for heating or electricity compared to older properties.
How far is the train station from this room?
The train station is 2.8 km away. That is a short bike ride, roughly ten minutes, or a longer walk if you prefer. The room is on the TU-Campus, so the university buildings are close by, but the station is not on your doorstep.
What is the neighbourhood like for students?
The TU-Campus is almost entirely student-oriented. Over half of residents are between 15 and 25, and nearly all households are single-person. There are very few families, so the area is quiet in terms of children but busy with student life. The housing stock is all rental, with a strong social housing component, which fits the student profile.
Is this room part of social housing?
Yes, the listing stated that this was social housing. That means there may be income limits or other eligibility criteria set by the landlord. The room was listed via Roommatch, and the details of any requirements were part of the application process.
