Frequently asked questions
About Jan Luykenstraat 18, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
Is €714 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €714 per month for a terraced house with 55 m² of floor space and a plot of 1233 m² is on the keen side. The neighbourhood has a limited number of rental listings, and this home is offered through a housing corporation, which often means below-market rents. The energy label A also keeps running costs down, which adds to the value.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label a home can have. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the home's energy performance as certified.
How big is the plot and what does it mean for outdoor space?
The plot is 1233 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. This gives the property a sense of space that is rare in this type of home. The listing does not specify how the plot is laid out, so the exact use of the outdoor space is not stated, but the size alone is a standout feature.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Van Boetzelaerstraat neighbourhood has a mix of households, with 35% of homes having children and a similar share of single-person households. Residents mention lots of play space for children and a primary school around the corner. One review notes that young people sometimes hang around in the playground until late, but overall the area is described positively.
How close are schools and supermarkets?
Basisschool de Rank is 186 metres away, so primary school is just around the corner. The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is 403 metres away, and Hoogvliet is 594 metres. For secondary education, Rijnstroom College Westerpark is 425 metres away. The train station is 1.5 km from the home.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this home is marked as social housing. That means the rent is set at a level intended to be affordable, and there may be income requirements or a waiting list to qualify. The rent of €714 per month reflects this social housing status, which is below typical market rates for a terraced house.
