Bospark is a small, green neighbourhood with a high proportion of older residents, nearly half the population is 65 or over.

There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures show a mix of single-person households and families, with most homes built between 1945 and 1970. For more context, see the Bospark neighbourhood.

About Charlotte de Bourbonstraat 40, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price of €295,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €363,000, which makes it a keen entry point. However, the floor area of 55 m² is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 96 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than average.
