Living in Boerenstreek, Soest

The name says it all: Boerenstreek has its roots in the agricultural landscape that characterised Soest for centuries. The neighbourhood is located in the southwestern part of Soest and has a predominantly quiet, green and slightly rural character. Those who rent a home here choose space and peace within cycling distance of the village centre of Soest.

Atmosphere and housing types
The built-up area consists mainly of detached houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a modest number of terraced houses. The proportion of rental properties is small, giving the neighbourhood a stable and owner-occupied character. The average WOZ value of €438,000 reflects this: this is not a cheap entry-level neighbourhood, but an established residential area where many families and residents aged 45 to 65 live. This group, with 740 people, is the largest age category. Families with children are the most common household type (405 households), confirming the quiet and family-oriented atmosphere of the neighbourhood.

Facilities
For daily shopping, residents rely on the centre of Soest, a few minutes away by bike. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo on the Soesterbergsestraat and surrounding area. Primary schools in the vicinity serve the families in the neighbourhood; Boerenstreek itself is not a shopping area, which contributes to the quiet living environment. For sports and recreation, the area offers plenty: the Soestduinen area and the nearby forests are attractive for walkers and cyclists. Sports clubs in Soest, including football clubs and tennis clubs, are within short cycling distance.

Accessibility
By car, the A28 (Utrecht-Amersfoort) is easily accessible via Soest, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. Utrecht is about a 20-minute drive away, Amersfoort about 10 minutes. By public transport, Soest-Zuid station is the nearest station, within cycling distance. Buses connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Soest and surrounding towns. Parking in Boerenstreek is generally not a problem; most homes have their own driveway or ample on-street parking, without a permit requirement.
