Centrum-Zuidwest, Delft
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Giststraat sits right in the lively centre of Delft, surrounded by historic streets and canals. At 38 m² it's compact, but the location is hard to beat.

With a price of €295,000, this studio is priced 61% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €751,636, though that average is skewed by much larger homes.

About Giststraat 5, Delft
At €295,000, this studio is priced 61% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €751,636. However, that average is based on a mix of homes including much larger ones. The median asking price in the neighbourhood is €375,000, so this studio is below that too. Given its compact size (38 m²) and energy label G, the price reflects the trade-off between location and condition.

In the neighbourhood, 18.2% of homes have label A, 18.2% label B, 36.4% label C, and 27.3% label D or lower. So this studio is at the bottom end of the energy performance scale.
The train station is 0.6 km away, about a five-minute walk. That makes it very convenient for commuting to The Hague, Rotterdam, or Amsterdam.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: AH to go at 302 m, Jumbo at 347 m, Albert Heijn at 357 m, SPAR at 443 m, and Aldi at 691 m. So daily shopping is easy on foot.
