Lijsterlaan, Alphen aan den Rijn
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hooftstraat in Alphen Aan Den Rijn sits in a quiet, tree-lined part of town. At 133 m² it is unusually generous for the area, and the 1934 building gives it a solid, pre-war feel. The asking price of €750,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €325,818, but that reflects the size: the floor area is 87% larger than the typical home in Lijsterlaan. For context, apartments in Alphen aan den Rijn vary widely, but this one is clearly at the top end of the market.
Lijsterlaan is a dense, lively part of Alphen with an address density of nearly 3,000 addresses per km², very strong urbanity. The population is mixed: many single-person households (660) and a fair share of over-65s (590), but also a sizeable group aged 25-45 (770). Homes here are mostly flats (69% of the housing stock), and the neighbourhood has a good mix of owners (56%) and renters. The Lijsterlaan neighbourhood is well served by shops and amenities, and the overall vibe is busy but convenient.
Your morning bread run is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. For school runs, primary school Het Palet is a five-minute walk, and secondary options like Groene Hart Lyceum are within a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just 200 m away too. The train station is a bit further, 2.9 km, so you would likely cycle or drive. The municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn offers plenty of green space and waterways for weekend walks.
The home is listed through several channels, including HOLLAND WEST MAKELAARDIJ. At present, the asking price is €750,000, and the property has an energy label C.

About Hooftstraat 73A, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price is €750,000, which is 130% above the neighbourhood average of €325,818. However, this apartment is also 87% larger than the typical home in Lijsterlaan (133 m² vs 71 m²). Given the size and central location, the price is on the high side but reflects the generous floor area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war building. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label B, and 17% have label C, so this is in line with the local stock.
The train station is 2.9 km away, so it is a short bike ride or a drive. There is no direct bus connection mentioned in the listing, but the neighbourhood is well connected by road.
Primary school Het Palet is 327 m away, and Basisschool de Rank is 541 m away. For secondary education, Groene Hart Lyceum (502 m) and Groene Hart Topmavo (505 m) are within walking distance. There is also VSO Prisma for special secondary education at 453 m.
Albert Heijn is 280 m away, Hoogvliet at 456 m, and Ekoplaza at 476 m. For a wider selection, Lidl is 980 m away. Daily groceries are very convenient.
