About Gastelaar 12, Alphen
At €885,000, this is the most expensive home currently for sale in Zuidwest Alphen. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €668,913, and the median is €785,000. The house is 32% larger than the neighbourhood average (209 m² vs 158 m²), which partly explains the premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the energy-efficient A label.
Zuidwest Alphen is a quiet, well-maintained neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes. About 100 households have children, and there are primary schools within walking distance. One resident describes it as a 'social neighbourhood' with no nuisance. However, another finds it 'boring' with little to do, so it suits those who prefer peace and quiet over nightlife.
The nearest train station is 13.6 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. A car is essential for getting around, though the PLUS supermarket and GP are within a five-minute walk.
The home has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 52.9% of homes have an A+ label and 11.8% have an A label, so this house is in line with the local standard.
The plot is 714 m², which includes the house and garden. The exact garden size is not stated, but with a detached house on a plot this size, there is plenty of outdoor space for a family.
Yes, the PLUS supermarket is just 570 m away, a five-minute walk. A restaurant is even closer at 200 m. For other supermarkets like Jumbo or Albert Heijn, you would need to drive about 4 km.
With a floor area of 209 m² and a detached layout, it is likely to have at least three or four bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The house was built in 2007, so it is relatively modern. With an energy label A, it is well-insulated and should be in good condition. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes were built between 1990 and 2010, so this fits the newer stock.
