About Nieuwstraat 78, Boskoop
Yes, it is on the keen side. The asking price of €400,000 is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €590,273 and also under the median of €469,000. Given the limited supply of detached homes in Alphen aan den Rijn, this represents good value for a house of this type and size.
The home has energy label E, which is less efficient than modern standards. With a 1915 build, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a well-insulated home. In Biezen-West, 54.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by rail feasible but not on your doorstep.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Basisschool De Hortus (319 m) and Rehobothschool (367 m). For secondary education, Coenecoop College is 420 m away, and Yuverta chr. vmbo Boskoop is 1.1 km. All are within easy reach for families.
Currently, there are 11 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €295,000 to €1,075,000. The average price per m² is €4,655, so this home at €3,306 per m² is below the local average.
