Horstenbuurt-Noord, Alphen aan den Rijn
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Eikenhorst sits in a peaceful part of Horstenbuurt-Noord, a neighbourhood where most homes are family houses and the streets are lined with trees. At 54 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label C, not the cheapest to heat, but far from the worst. The asking price of €275,000 is in line with what other apartments in Alphen aan den Rijn go for, so you're paying a fair market rate.
Horstenbuurt-Noord is a quiet, residential corner of Alphen. With 1,515 residents and a mix of ages, a good number of families with children, but also plenty of over-45s, it feels settled without being sleepy. The vast majority of homes are owner-occupied houses, so there's a sense of pride in the street. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the low crime figures (just 15 incidents) and the proximity to a park just a couple of streets away speak for themselves. It's the kind of neighbourhood Horstenbuurt-Noord where you know your neighbours.
For your morning bread and milk, you've got Jumbo, Lidl and Albert Heijn all within a five-minute walk, no need to plan a big shop. The nearest primary school, RK basisschool Het Spectrum, is just around the corner, and there are several others within a couple of streets away, so the school run is a doddle. A park is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is a five-minute walk away. The municipality Alphen aan den Rijn has a strong local feel, with most daily needs covered within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Koppes Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to view it.

About Eikenhorst 271, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
Yes, it's in line with the market. The price per square metre works out at about €5,093, which is typical for an apartment of this size in Alphen aan den Rijn. The energy label C means running costs are moderate, and the neighbourhood is quiet and well-maintained. You're not overpaying, but it's not a bargain either, a fair deal.
Horstenbuurt-Noord is a calm, family-friendly area with mostly owner-occupied houses. It's not a bustling city centre, it's a residential street where people know each other. There's a park nearby, and the crime rate is very low. It's a good choice if you value peace and quiet over nightlife.
The nearest train station is 4.5 km away, so you'll need a bike or car to get there. It's not a walkable distance, but the bus might be an option. If you commute by train daily, factor in the extra travel time.
You have three supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Jumbo, Lidl and Albert Heijn. That's very convenient for daily groceries. There's also a restaurant 0.7 km away and a park just 0.2 km from your door. Most errands can be done on foot.
At 54 m² it's compact, so it's more suited to a couple or a single person. The neighbourhood itself is family-friendly with good schools nearby, but the apartment itself doesn't have a garden or extra rooms. For a family with children, you'd likely want more space.
Energy label C is average, not super efficient, but not a money pit either. You'll have reasonable heating costs, but it's worth checking the exact insulation and heating system. Compared to a G label, you'll save significantly, but an A label would be cheaper to run.
