Buying a home in Bedrijventerrein Molenwetering, Alphen aan den Rijn.
Bedrijventerrein Molenwetering is where Alphen aan den Rijn works. You'll find modest warehouses, light manufacturing, and service businesses tucked between the Oude Rijn and the A4, which means good truck access but also some background noise if you're considering living on the fringes. This isn't a neighborhood for homes—it's built for logistics and small-scale industry. If you're buying here, you're after a commercial property or a rare conversion, not residential family living.
