Soesterberg: village character with a military past

Soesterberg is not your average Utrechtse Heuvelrug village. Its identity is largely shaped by the former airbase, which for years set the rhythm of the village. Since its closure in 2008, the site has been transformed: it now houses the National Military Museum and there is extensive construction on the former airfield grounds. This gives the village a unique dynamic, somewhere between nostalgia and renewal.

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Soesterberg a 7.2 out of 10. Beauty (8.0) and education (8.0) score notably high. Resident Suus, who grew up there, calls it "a cosy and friendly neighbourhood" and emphasises that it is a very child-friendly environment. This is reflected in the figures: households with children form the largest group (1,255 households) and the 25-45 age category is the most strongly represented. More experiences and all sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page for Soesterberg.

The village centre around de Kom offers most amenities: a supermarket, bakery, GP and a handful of eateries along Banningstraat and Rademakerstraat. Do not expect a large shopping centre; for more extensive shopping you go to Soest or Amersfoort. Accessibility scores a 7.0: by car you are quickly on the A28 towards Amersfoort or Utrecht, but public transport is limited to bus lines. There is no train station. In the northern part, Soesterberg Noord, you live close to the forests and heathland. On the eastern side, the eastern part borders the Leusderheide, where you can walk and cycle in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. For those seeking true tranquillity, you can also look at the supply at Leusderheide, although rental supply there is minimal. The municipality of Soest is investing via its website in the development of the former airbase area, which could provide additional housing supply in the coming years.
