Biezen-West, Alphen aan den Rijn
NeighbourhoodThis detached semi (twee-onder-één-kap) on Rozenlaan 1 in Boskoop is a real character home, built in 1903 and full of period features. With 275 m² of living space on a 1209 m² plot, it's a rare find in Biezen-West. The asking price of €1,175,000 is on the high side, 99% above the neighbourhood average of €590,273, but that reflects the exceptional size and the fact that semi-detached houses in Alphen aan den Rijn of this calibre don't come up often.

There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the neighbourhood is known for its quiet, green character. The neighbourhood Biezen-West has a strong community feel, with many families and older residents.
For your daily shopping, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Two primary schools are on your doorstep: Basisschool De Hortus and Rehobothschool. For secondary education, Coenecoop College is a couple of streets away. The municipality Alphen aan den Rijn offers plenty of green space and recreational options, though the nearest park is 2.9 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Houtman & de Vogel Makelaardij. The energy label is G, so heating costs will be significant, something to factor in for a home of this age and size.

About Rozenlaan 1, Boskoop

Comparable properties in Biezen-West rarely come to market. The price reflects the exceptional size and character, though the energy label G means higher running costs.
Biezen-West is a quiet, family-friendly area with mostly single-family homes (82%) and a high owner-occupancy rate (79%). It's moderately urban, so you get space and greenery without being isolated. The population is diverse in age, with a good mix of families and older residents. There are no recent resident reviews, but the area is known for its community feel.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes commuting to nearby cities like Alphen aan den Rijn or Leiden feasible, though you'll likely rely on a bike or car for the station run.
Two primary schools are within a couple of minutes' walk: Basisschool De Hortus (140 m) and Rehobothschool (178 m). For secondary education, Coenecoop College is 673 m away. All are well-regarded and easily reachable on foot or by bike.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. Given the 1903 construction, insulation and heating systems are likely outdated. Budget for potential upgrades if you want to improve efficiency.
At 275 m², this home is 122% larger than the neighbourhood average of 124 m². The plot of 1209 m² is also exceptionally generous. If you're looking for space, both indoors and outdoors, this is a standout property in Biezen-West.
