Hooftstraat 73A
Lijsterlaan · 2406 GE Alphen Aan Den Rijn
A spacious apartment on a leafy street
This 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 last known asking price of €750,000 was well above the neighbourhood average of €325,818, but that reflected the size: the floor area was 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. This home has not been online since 3 October 2026.
