The Roland Holstbuurt neighbourhood
[The Roland Holstbuurt neighbourhood] is a mixed area with a strong student presence, and the figures back that up: three quarters of households are single-person, and a third of residents are between 15 and 25. One resident describes it as a "Diverse neighbourhood", noting that "many amenities are within walking distance, a shopping centre with many types of shops and several supermarkets." The same review, however, is candid about downsides: "there is nuisance in the neighbourhood and mainly in my building from loitering youths, fatbikers and junkies," and mentions issues with stolen packages and rubbish in the fire escape. It is a single review, so it reflects one person's experience rather than a consensus.
Life on the street

For school runs, Parkschool is a five-minute walk, and there are several secondary schools nearby, including PrO Grotius and the Christelijk Lyceum Delft, both within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a kilometre away, which is manageable on foot or by bike. [The municipality of Delft] keeps the wider city well connected, with the historic centre and university campus a short ride away.

Frequently asked questions
About Roland Holstlaan 557, Delft
Is €652 a fair price for this room?
At €652 per month for a 22 m² room, the price sits in line with the local market. The average rental in the Roland Holstbuurt is €1,007 for 85 m², which works out at €11.85 per m², while this room comes to roughly €29.60 per m². That premium reflects the smaller size and the fact that it is a room rather than a full apartment, so the per-square-metre cost is naturally higher.
What does the G energy label mean for my bills?
The energy label G is the least efficient label on the scale, so you should expect high heating costs. The label is an official registration, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. It simply indicates that this home is at the lower end of energy efficiency, which typically translates into a larger energy bill each month.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
You are very well served for groceries. The AH XL is just 72 metres away, essentially on your doorstep, with Jumbo at 200 metres and Dirk at 234 metres. Lidl and Aldi are a bit further at 526 and 649 metres respectively. That means you have five supermarkets within a short walk, which is convenient for everyday shopping.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
The Roland Holstbuurt is a diverse, student-heavy area. Three quarters of households are single-person, and a third of residents are aged 15 to 25. One resident review highlights the convenience of amenities within walking distance, but also mentions nuisance from loitering youths and issues with package theft in the building. It is a single review, so it gives one perspective rather than a full picture.
How far is the train station?
Delft train station is about a kilometre from the room. That is a roughly 12 to 15 minute walk, or a short bike ride of a few minutes. The station connects you to the wider Randstad, making it practical if you need to travel for study or work.
Is this social housing?
