About Louise de Colignystraat 34, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price of €300,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €363,000, and also below the median of €275,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (62 m² vs 96 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given that homes in Bospark sell in about 21 days on average, the price seems keen for a quick sale.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home will have higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more modern property. The neighbourhood has no homes with labels A or B; most are C or lower. You should expect to spend more on energy bills here.
The train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. It's a convenient distance for commuting without being right on top of the tracks.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Rehobothschool (primary) is 200 m away, and the Groene Hart Lyceum (secondary) is 211 m away. Other primaries like Het Palet and De Tamboerijn are also close, all within a five-minute walk.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms. Based on the floor area of 62 m², it is likely a two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
