The Lijsterlaan neighbourhood
The Lijsterlaan neighbourhood is a densely populated area with a strong urban character, home to around 2,435 people. Nearly half of households are single-person, and the average household size is 1.8, so it is a mix of young professionals and older residents. The age spread is fairly even, with a notable share of residents aged 25 to 45. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based on the figures. It is a busy, central kind of place rather than a quiet suburban street.

Daily errands are easy from here. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Hoogvliet and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. For schools, Het Palet and Basisschool de Rank are both within a five-minute walk, and Groene Hart Lyceum for secondary education is close too. The train station is 2.9 km away, so commuting takes a bit of planning. This is a practical, well-served spot within the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn.

The rent is €1,650 per month, which is well above the neighbourhood average of €1,008 for rentals. However, this apartment is larger than most, with 89 m² compared with the average of 65 m², and it has a modern 2017 build with an A energy label. The higher price reflects those factors, so it is a premium option in this area.
How does the floor area compare with other rentals in the neighbourhood?
At 89 m², this apartment is 37% larger than the average rental in the Lijsterlaan neighbourhood, which comes to 65 m². That is a significant difference and means you get considerably more living space than the typical home available here. The extra room is a key part of what sets this listing apart.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared with homes with lower labels. It is an official registration, so the rating is confirmed rather than estimated.
