NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Gruttolaan sits in a peaceful part of Koudekerk aan den Rijn, where the streets are leafy and the pace is slow. With 183 m² of living space and a generous 729 m² plot, there is plenty of room for a family.

The Koudekerk aan den Rijn-Noord neighbourhood is a small, tight-knit community of about 1,785 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied (74%) and almost all are single-family houses (92%), so the streets feel settled and family-oriented. One resident describes it as "a cosy backwater" and says: "Friendly people, plenty of supermarkets in the area, few shops or nightlife options, for that you have to go to Alphen or big cities like Leiden or The Hague, and public transport regularly has problems." The average household size is 2.4, and a good share of households have children.
For your morning bread and groceries, Jumbo and Hoogvliet are both just under a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Samenwerkingsschool MeerWaarde, is a five-minute walk, and there are several other primary schools within easy reach. Secondary education is a bit further, about 4.8 km away. A GP is a ten-minute walk, and a park or public garden is just around the corner. For a wider range of shops and culture, you head to Alphen or Leiden. This is all part of the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn.
