An apartment for rent in Pijnacker Nootdorp is most often a two-bedroom flat of about 82 m² near RandstadRail line E, the direct link to Den Haag and Rotterdam. Based on over 300 apartment listings tracked by RentHunter in Pijnacker Nootdorp since February 2024, the average rent is €1,514 a month, and 80% of listings ask between €858 and €2,035.
Pijnacker Nootdorp apartments are housing for households more than for students. Two-bedroom flats account for 228 of these listings against 83 one-bedroom ones, and with no university in the municipality you compete with couples and small families, not with TU Delft students. Living here means a village street with the city 38 or 39 minutes away.
Three checks come before any viewing. 77% of listings state that you can register at the address, 44% mention parking and 44% a balcony. Ask about registration first: you must register with the municipality within five days of moving in, and a home where that is not possible leaves you without an official address.

Commuting from Pijnacker Nootdorp
Commuting from Pijnacker Nootdorp runs on RandstadRail line E, which stops at Nootdorp, Pijnacker Centrum and Pijnacker Zuid between Den Haag Centraal and Rotterdam Centraal. The municipality has no NS train station, so the walk or bike ride to your nearest stop is part of every trip. Time it when you view a flat: it decides whether door to door stays near 40 minutes.
Den Haag Centraal in about 39 minutes
Den Haag is about 39 minutes from Pijnacker Nootdorp by public transport, with line E running north past Leidschenveen and Voorburg to Den Haag Centraal. Ministries surround the station, and the city's trams take you on from there. Nootdorp is the first stop coming from Den Haag, so a Nootdorp address gives the shortest ride.
Rotterdam Centraal in about 38 minutes
Rotterdam is about 38 minutes from Pijnacker Nootdorp by public transport. South of Pijnacker Zuid, line E crosses Lansingerland, with stops at Berkel Westpolder and Rodenrijs, so compare apartments for rent in Lansingerland on the same line. A flat near Pijnacker Zuid gives the shortest ride to Rotterdam.
Amsterdam and Utrecht in a little over an hour
Amsterdam is about 71 minutes from Pijnacker Nootdorp and Utrecht about 74, with a change to an NS intercity at Den Haag Centraal or Rotterdam Centraal. Eindhoven takes about 114 minutes. These trips work for one or two office days a week, less so for a daily commute.

Line E is run by RET, so price the commute before you sign a lease in Pijnacker Nootdorp.

Pijnacker Nootdorp rent: about €62 above Delft
An apartment in Pijnacker Nootdorp costs €1,514 a month on average, about 4% more than the €1,452 average for apartments in Delft. That gap is around €62 a month, close to €750 a year, so Pijnacker Nootdorp is not the cheaper choice next to Delft. It is the quieter one, with fewer students competing for each rental flat.
Size explains part of the price. The average apartment here measures 82 m². A one-bedroom flat averages €1,255 a month, a two-bedroom €1,567 and a three-bedroom €1,614, so a third bedroom costs under €50 a month more than a second, a small step for a family that needs one.
The real trade-off is time. From Delft you cycle to the station; from Pijnacker Nootdorp you add about 40 minutes on line E to Den Haag or Rotterdam. If you need a garden more than a short ride, look at houses for rent in Pijnacker Nootdorp before you settle on an apartment.

Four Pijnacker Nootdorp addresses, judged by line E
- Pijnacker centre at the Pijnacker Centrum stop Pijnacker centre has the municipality's main shops and the Pijnacker Centrum stop of line E, so an apartment here works without a car. It suits a single commuter or a couple who wants groceries and the light rail on foot.
- Pijnacker Zuid, the stop toward Rotterdam Pijnacker Zuid is the last line E stop in the municipality before Rotterdam, which makes it the side of Pijnacker for renters who work there. If you drive as well, check that the listing mentions parking, as 44% of apartment listings do.
- Nootdorp, next to Ypenburg and the Dobbeplas Nootdorp borders the Den Haag district of Ypenburg and has the first line E stop coming from Den Haag. The Dobbeplas lake on its edge is the local spot to swim and walk, and Zoetermeer lies just to the north-east.
- Delfgauw by the Delftse Hout, no stop Delfgauw borders Delft and the Delftse Hout park but has no line E stop, so residents cycle to Delft or Pijnacker. It suits a renter who works in Delft and wants a quieter street than the city offers.

Pijnacker Nootdorp apartment questions from newcomers
Where can I find apartments near Pijnacker Nootdorp if nothing fits?
If no apartment in Pijnacker Nootdorp fits, widen the search to Lansingerland, one stop south on line E, or to Delft, a short bike ride from Delfgauw, where you can also browse furnished apartments in Delft. A room in Pijnacker Nootdorp or a Pijnacker Nootdorp studio, a one-room home with its own kitchen and bathroom, can bridge the first months. Save the search so new listings reach you the day they appear.
How often does a Pijnacker Nootdorp apartment come with parking?
Parking is mentioned in 44% of Pijnacker Nootdorp apartment listings tracked by RentHunter since February 2024; the others say no or do not say.

How do I rent a flat in Pijnacker Nootdorp from abroad?
Reply on the day a listing goes online with proof of income, a copy of your passport and a short introduction, and ask for a video viewing if you cannot travel. The average deposit in these listings is 0.91 months of rent; for leases signed since 1 July 2023 the legal cap is two months, and since 1 July 2024 a lease is open-ended by default. A makelaar, the Dutch letting agent, who works for the landlord may not charge you a fee. Your first registration from abroad is by appointment at the municipality, within five days of moving in.
