Living in Koudekerk aan den Rijn-Zuid, Alphen aan den Rijn

Koudekerk aan den Rijn-Zuid is the quieter, more residential part of this small Rijnland village. The neighbourhood has a village character with predominantly ground-based homes: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some later extensions. The atmosphere is quiet and green, with a population that is clearly on the older side. The largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (530 out of 1,770 residents), which sets the tone: this is not a bustling city district, but a neighbourhood where life has its own calm rhythm.

The average household income is €33,900 per year, which is noticeably lower than the municipal average of €38,700 and also lower than the district average of €38,300. This fits the composition: relatively many single-person households (280) and pensioners. For those looking for a rental home in a quiet environment with a modest income, this could be attractive, partly due to the large share of social housing.
