A sixth-floor apartment in Planetenbuurt-Zuid
This apartment sits on the sixth floor of a block in Planetenbuurt-Zuid, a residential pocket of Alphen aan den Rijn. The building dates from 1966 and carries an E energy label, so expect higher energy costs than in more efficient homes. With a living area of 84 square metres according to the BAG registration and 85 square metres in the agent's listing, the asking price of €270,000 works out at €3,176 per square metre. That price is keen, sitting 17 percent below the neighbourhood average asking price of €324,900. It is also the cheapest of the ten homes currently for sale in this neighbourhood, and the wider market for apartments in Alphen aan den Rijn shows a similar picture.
Inside the home
The apartment has four rooms, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. There is a balcony, and the home is in full ownership, so no ground lease to worry about. The agent notes partial double glazing and block heating, with a monthly homeowners' association fee of €381.83. The total volume comes to 300 cubic metres. The home has been listed since 19 May 2026.
