Buying a home in Sint Joris, Delft.
Sint Joris is where you'll find families who chose this neighbourhood deliberately, not because it was their only option. The homes are mostly 1930s and 1950s stock—solid, unpretentious, and easier on the wallet than the centre. You can walk straight into Delftse Hout for a run or time with kids, and the Technical University is within walking distance. It feels quieter than the inner city, but you're not tucked away: bakery, supermarket, and cafés are right there in the neighbourhood.

What does Sint Joris 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.
