Centrum, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis room on Papenstraat sits in the lively centre of Delft, a spot that buzzes with students and city life. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's efficiency. At €709 per month, the rent is well below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which makes it a keen option for someone looking for a compact base. For context, rooms in Delft give you an idea of what's available in the city.

The neighbourhood is home to many young people, with a large share of one-person households, reflecting the student-heavy population. It's a place where you're never far from a restaurant or a shop, and the energy is unmistakably urban. The Centrum neighbourhood has its own character, shaped by centuries of history and a modern buzz.
Daily life here is wonderfully convenient. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza a few steps further. For school runs, Max Havelaar Kindcentrum is a couple of streets away, and Montessorischool Jan Vermeer is within a five-minute walk.

About Papenstraat 20P2, Delft
The rent of €709 is significantly below the average rental price in the Centrum neighbourhood, which stands at €2,042. However, this is a room of 20 m², much smaller than the average rental property in the area. Compared to the average price per square metre for rooms in the neighbourhood (€559), this rent is higher, but the central location and short distance to amenities may justify it.
Albert Heijn is just 35 metres away, making it your closest option for daily groceries. Ekoplaza is also nearby at 47 metres, and there are other supermarkets within a few hundred metres, including another Albert Heijn at 359 metres and a SPAR at 453 metres. You won't have to walk far for your shopping.
Several primary schools are within walking distance. Max Havelaar Kindcentrum is 164 metres away, Montessorischool Jan Vermeer is 302 metres, and Delftsche Schoolvereniging is 601 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.9 km away, so it's a short trip for older students.
The train station is approximately 1 kilometre from the room, which is about a 12-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting or travelling to other cities.

How residents experience their district
Of ik ergens prettig woon, is voor mij afhankelijk van de omgeving en de buren. Voor mij betekent dit dat er de mogelijkheid is om een wederkerige connectie op te bouwen, die zorgt voor gezelschap en tegelijkertijd bijdraagt aan vertrouwen en een gevoel van veiligheid. Voor de mensen die daar behoefte aan hebben, moet dit in de wijk of straat mogelijk zijn.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby. The only hassle is finding parking spaces. There isn't often nuisance or anything.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is often dirty, there is a lot of rubbish in my street next to the container, that is the only bad thing, that's why we get vermin in the street, mice, rats for example
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street and we have occasionally had mice in the neighbourhood as a result. Placing more bins could possibly prevent this. However, there are very few houses available and everything is unaffordable. Housing could therefore be better.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here since birth and I really like it here. It's always quiet and we're situated behind a bit of nature. Now they're trying to build a restaurant right in front of our house, which is less good because then we'll have people in our garden later in the evening and there'll be no privacy left. Also think of the parking spaces we pay for, which would no longer be available, noise pollution, and so on. So without all that hassle, it's definitely a perfect place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIA supermarket less than 3 minutes' walk away, neighbours who lend out their deep fryer for New Year's so we could make oliebollen (if they got some too) and a really pleasant atmosphere in the neighbourhood. It's very central and close to everything in Delft. I never feel like I have to be careful with my belongings here, or that someone might break in, lots of children playing in the street and a parking garage for permit holders a 1-minute walk away.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. Occasionally inconvenient with the rubbish system and taking the glass away, not a huge amount of green, and sometimes difficult to see streets coming from the right so you don't get priority from others.

Auto-translated to English by AINo sense of community, little contact, also some loitering youths, a lot of litter in the area.. I often clean up rubbish but the next day it's all over the ground again.. experienced a burglary at the neighbours' in broad daylight.. that does create a feeling of insecurity.. In addition, I sometimes have trouble with men following me.. and fireworks are set off all year round, also randomly at 3am.. There are 2 nice playgrounds in the neighbourhood but I often don't find them safe for children because there is too much litter.. think lots of cigarette butts and glass and many other things.. but it's nice that the facility is there

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a fine neighbourhood, except that I sometimes feel unsafe when I cycle late in the evening. Other than that, I never really have trouble with people. The neighbourhood could be a bit greener in my opinion, but well, it's mostly flats and they're not that pretty.
