Ministersbuurt-Oost, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On a wide, tree-lined street in Delft's Ministersbuurt-Oost, this 1890s semi-detached house stands out with its generous proportions and high ceilings. With 173 m² of living space and a 539 m² plot, it offers a rare combination of period character and elbow room. The price of €1,195,000 is on the high side, 93% above the neighbourhood average of €619,500, but it is also the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in the area, and the floor area is 60% larger than the typical 108 m². For context, semi-detached houses in Delft vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Ministersbuurt-Oost is a densely built pre-war neighbourhood with a very strong urban character (4,666 addresses per km²). Based on two reviews, opinions are split. One resident says: "I've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance." Another is less positive: "People live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing." The neighbourhood has a mix of households, many singles (675) and families with children (345), and 77% of homes are owner-occupied.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. The Max Havelaar Kindcentrum primary school is a five-minute walk, and the International School Delft is similarly close. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is a couple of streets away. The municipality Delft offers a compact city centre with museums, markets and canals within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Daal Makelaardij | De Energieke Makelaar and also appears on Funda. The energy label is F, which means heating costs will be significant, something to factor in for a home of this size and age.

I've lived here for 20 years and have always enjoyed it. The neighbours are friendly and everything is within easy cycling distance. Unfortunately, there is little housing available here; I want to move out with my boyfriend (we live with my parents) but you can't get a house here, unfortunately.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople live past each other. Shit everywhere, owners don't clean up anything. Playgrounds nothing. Cyclists ride very fast, young people from the higher school ride three or four abreast, cheeky. More playgrounds for kids, more green in the neighbourhood, and that dog owners clean up their dog's shit‼️ And a smile costs nothing

About Laan van Overvest 20, Delft
The asking price is 93% above the neighbourhood average of €619,500, and it is the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in Ministersbuurt-Oost. However, this home is also 60% larger than the typical home in the area (173 m² vs 108 m²) and sits on a 539 m² plot. Semi-detached houses in Delft vary widely, so the price reflects its size and character rather than being out of line.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 22.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the low end. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The home dates from 1890, so insulation and glazing may be limited. It is worth checking what improvements have been made.
Ministersbuurt-Oost has 345 households with children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, including Max Havelaar Kindcentrum (463 m) and Freinetschool Delft (593 m). Secondary schools like International School Delft and Laurentius Praktijkschool are also nearby. However, one resident noted a lack of playgrounds and green space, so it is worth visiting to see if it suits your family.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. Delft station connects to The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
The plot is 539 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house in this area. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace or other outdoor space.
With 173 m² of living space over multiple floors, there is potential for several bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or ask the agent.
