Life in Horstenbuurt-Noord
Residents across the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn give their living environment an average score of 7.66, based on fifteen reviews. One resident says: "Green and cosy small neighbourhood.

There are many fun things in the neighbourhood, such as Avifauna, Winkelplein Baronie, a small harbour, and even DIY stores." Another resident notes: "A cosy backwater. 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."
