Hooftstraat 237
Nieuwe Sloot · 2406 GJ Alphen Aan Den Rijn
A corner of history on Hooftstraat
This end-of-terrace house on Hooftstraat sits in the heart of Alphen aan den Rijn, where the streets have a lived-in, village feel. With 68 m² of living space and a 50 m² plot, it's compact but full of character, the kind of home where you feel the 1910 bones the moment you step inside. The last known asking price of €375,000 was on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Alphen aan den Rijn, but the location and energy label C (reasonably efficient) add to its appeal. This home has not been online since 21 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Hooftstraat 237, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
Was €375,000 a fair price for this house?
At €375,000 for 68 m², the price per square metre was higher than the average for corner houses in Alphen aan den Rijn. The energy label C is decent for a 1910 home, and the location in a very urban neighbourhood with shops and schools on your doorstep adds value. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value character and convenience over space.
What is the energy label C like for a house from 1910?
Energy label C is quite good for a home built in 1910. It means the house is reasonably well insulated and you won't face sky-high heating bills, though it's not as efficient as a modern home.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit far for a daily commute on foot, but cycling is easy in Alphen aan den Rijn.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Nieuwe Sloot has 295 households with children, so it's a family-friendly area. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, and a park just 600 m away. The streets are busy but safe, with 78 total crimes reported, a moderate figure for such a dense area.
Is there a garden?
The listing did not mention a garden. The plot is 50 m², which could include a small outdoor space, but it's not stated.
How many bedrooms does this house have?
With 68 m² of living space, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but this is not confirmed. The agent had not provided a room count.
