Quiet 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 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.

About Molenstraat 8, Delft
The asking price is 27% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€548,971). However, this home is 245 m², which is 133% larger than the average of 105 m². The price per square metre works out at about €2,853, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,171 per m². So while the total price is high, the size makes it relatively affordable per square metre.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means heating costs are likely to be high, especially given the age of the house (1750). In the neighbourhood, 38.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a historic property. You would need to budget for significant energy bills.
Residents mention that finding parking spaces can be a hassle. Centrum-West is a very dense, historic area with narrow streets, so parking is likely limited. The home does not have a garage or off-street parking listed, so you would rely on street parking, which may be challenging.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Max Havelaar Kindcentrum (246 m), Delftsche Schoolvereniging (271 m), Montessorischool Jan Vermeer (438 m), and IKC Bernadette Maria (566 m). For secondary education, the nearest is Laurentius Praktijkschool at 845 m. All are easily reachable on foot.
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. Delft station offers connections to The Hague, Rotterdam, and beyond. The neighbourhood is very central, so many amenities are within walking distance.
