Buying a home in Rietveldse polder, Hazerswoude-Dorp.

You're living at the edge of things here—think bike rides straight into the polder, and neighbours who've been here for decades. The real draw is the space: each plot sits comfortably apart, and you won't hear traffic noise. It's a 15-minute cycle to Alphen's centre if you need shops or a railway station.

- Flat, exposed terrain offers no shelter from wind; few mature trees for shade
