About Blijenbergstraat 13, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price of €285,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €325,818 and the median of €315,000. The average price per m² in Lijsterlaan is €4,745, so at €5,000 per m² this flat is slightly above that, but the total price is still on the lower end for the area. Given the compact size and energy label G, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs are likely to be high. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a flat built in 1954. You should budget for higher energy bills compared to a more modern home.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle.
SPAR express is just 265 metres away, so you can grab essentials on your doorstep. Albert Heijn is about 500 metres away, and Hoogvliet and Ekoplaza are within a 10-minute walk. For a larger shop, Lidl is about 1 km away.
