What does De Bras offer?
In Delft you live among students, young families, and people with deep roots here. The homes are often from the 17th and 18th centuries, with tall windows and deep rooms, lined tightly along the canals. The centre is compact and walkable, but also busy: lots of cyclists, plenty of university noise. Outside the historic core you'll find newer neighbourhoods with more space and less tourism. The train to Rotterdam and The Hague is quick, so you're not trapped in the centre if your work is elsewhere.
