Frequently asked questions
About Prins Bernhardlaan 254, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
Is €1,193 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,193 is above the average for rentals in the Emmalaan neighbourhood, which stands at €650 per month. However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average, at 66 m² compared with 199 m². The price per square metre works out higher than the neighbourhood average of €3.27, so you are paying a premium for the size and location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label. This means the home is officially registered as having a high level of energy performance, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient labels. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 2 km from the apartment. That is a reasonable distance for cycling or a short drive, though it is not within walking distance for most people. The exact station is not named in the listing, but the distance is stated.
What schools are nearby?
There are several schools within a short walk. The Groene Hart Lyceum, a secondary school, is just 65 metres away, and the Groene Hart Topmavo is about 200 metres. For primary education, Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is 212 metres away, with De Tamboerijn and Het Palet both within 300 metres. This makes school runs very convenient.
How quickly do rentals in this neighbourhood go?
Rental homes in the Emmalaan neighbourhood are let on average within 18 days. This suggests there is a steady demand for rental properties here. With only one rental currently available in the neighbourhood, the choice is limited, so if this apartment suits you, it may be worth acting promptly.
