De Eng, Soest
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Goyenlaan sits in a leafy part of Soest, with a calm atmosphere and the forest edge just a couple of streets away.

De Eng is a residential area with a mix of families and older residents, and a high proportion of homes built between 1945 and 1970. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density 1,629 per km²) yet the park is just a five-minute walk away. No resident reviews are available for this area, so the picture comes from the figures: mostly smaller households, with a good number of singles and couples.
For daily groceries, Boni is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn, Lidl and Ekoplaza are all within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by: the Montessori school is just around the corner, and the 1e Van der Huchtschool and CBS Da Costa are a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to reach Utrecht or Amersfoort. For a bite out, restaurants are a couple of streets away.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including Majoor Makelaars Soest e.o. and Funda.

About van Goyenlaan 168, Soest
The asking price of €325,000 is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €524,409, but the apartment is also smaller than average (71 m² vs 101 m²). The price per m² works out at about €4,577, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €4,839 per m². Given the compact size and the energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for this type of home in De Eng.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home built in 1962. In the neighbourhood, 72.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, heating costs will be noticeable but not extreme. You may want to consider future improvements like better insulation or double glazing to improve the rating.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Utrecht (roughly 15 minutes by train) or Amersfoort.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. The nearest is the Rooms Katholieke Montessori-School at 345 m, followed by the 1e Van der Huchtschool at 613 m and CBS Da Costa at 708 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2 km away, so a bike or bus is handy for older children.
Boni is the closest supermarket at just 183 m, literally on your doorstep. Within a ten-minute walk you also have SPAR express, Ekoplaza, Albert Heijn and Lidl. That gives you plenty of choice for daily shopping without needing a car.
