Buying a home in De Grote Plas, Delft.
De Grote Plas is where you come if you love water but don't want to live in a busy city centre. The homes here are mostly from the 1970s and 80s, solidly built, many with gardens and breathing room around them. Delft's centre is a ten-minute bike ride away, but you feel much more in a quiet residential neighbourhood with plenty of green. The lake itself is the heart of it: swimming in summer, walking around the water, and your neighbours are the type who spend time outdoors.

What does De Grote Plas 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.
