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 was a social housing rental, so the rent was set at a level that kept student life affordable. At €742 for 34 square metres, the price sat above the average for rooms in the area, which was in line with the size and the modern build. For a sense of what else is available, you can compare it with other rooms in Delft. This home has not been online since 29 October 2026.
The TU-Campus neighbourhood
This is a neighbourhood built around student life, and the figures back that up. Nearly nine in ten households are single people, and the vast majority of residents are between 15 and 45. It's a young, transient community, with very few families or older residents. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, which fits the student character of the area. There are no resident reviews available yet, so the picture here comes from the statistics rather than personal accounts. For more on the area, have a look at the TU-Campus neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the campus and its facilities. For groceries, the SPAR is just around the corner, with a Lidl a couple of streets away and a PLUS a bit further on. The International School Delft is a ten-minute walk, and there are several primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The train station is about three kilometres away, so getting out of town takes a bit of planning. For a broader view of the surroundings, you can read about the municipality of Delft.

Frequently asked questions
About Balthasar van der Polweg 806, Delft
Was €742 a fair price for this room?
The rent was €742 for a 34 square metre room in a 2011 building. The average rent for a room in the TU-Campus neighbourhood was €660, so this one was above that. The higher price reflected the modern construction and the size, which was larger than many student rooms. Whether it's fair depends on what you value, but it's not the cheapest option in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is registered as having a very low expected energy consumption. For a room of this size, that should keep heating and electricity costs relatively modest. The label is an official registration, so it's a reliable indicator of the home's energy performance.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a SPAR at about 520 metres, which is roughly a five-minute walk. A Lidl is just under a kilometre away, and a PLUS is about 1.2 kilometres. For a bigger shop, an AH XL is about 1.4 kilometres. So daily groceries are within easy reach, and there are plenty of options within a short distance.
What schools are near this room?
The International School Delft is about 780 metres away, and the PrO Grotius secondary school is just under 900 metres. There are also several primary schools within a kilometre or so, including the Monseigneur Bekkersschool and the Prins Mauritsschool. With 60 schools within five kilometres, there's a wide choice for families, though this area is mostly student-oriented.
