About Raafstraat 70, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price of €325,000 is 27% below the average asking price in the Lijsterlaan neighbourhood (€444,167). However, the apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (68 m² vs 105 m²). Compared to similar apartments in the municipality, the price per m² is around €4,780, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,544 per m². So it is priced keenly in absolute terms but reflects the smaller size.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label B indicates a reasonably efficient home, meaning energy costs are likely to be moderate. In the neighbourhood, 23.1% of homes have label A, 15.4% have label B, and 38.5% have label D or lower, so this home is above average in efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. The high urbanity level suggests good public transport links in the area.

The CBS data records 76 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per capita figure or comparison, it is hard to judge. The area has a mix of residents and a typical urban density. For specific safety concerns, local police or neighbourhood apps may provide more insight.
The floor area is 68 m², which typically accommodates a two-bedroom layout, but this is not confirmed. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or any outdoor space. The plot size is not provided, so it is unclear if there is private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park just 0.2 km away, so public green space is nearby.
