Living in Soestdijk, Soest
Soestdijk is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the edge of the municipality of Soest, directly bordering the Baarnse Bos. For many residents, that forest is one of the neighbourhood's greatest assets. You don't live in an urban environment here, but in a neighbourhood characterised by space, relatively little traffic and a calm streetscape. The housing stock largely consists of detached homes and semi-detached houses, particularly from the post-war period and the 1960s and 1970s. Along the Soestdijkseweg and its side streets, there are also larger, representative properties dating from the early twentieth century, some with a villa character.
The neighbourhood has an older population structure: the largest age group is 65-plus (over 1,650 residents), followed by 45-65 year olds. This is visible in the streetscape: it is quiet, tidy and orderly. Resident Jamie describes it aptly: "Feels safe, because actually almost nothing bad ever happens, but not much happens either. It's not very multicultural, and there isn't much interaction with other people either. It is very hygienic and reasonably beautiful. Nice that it's next to the Baarnse Bos." That is an honest summary: Soestdijk is not a bustling neighbourhood, but a place where peace and tidiness are central.
For daily shopping, you can go to the nearby centre of Soest, within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets, shops and eateries. In the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, but that fits the character. Primary schools are available in the area, and secondary education is accessible in Soest and Baarn. Sports clubs and recreational opportunities are plentiful, partly thanks to the proximity of the forest and the green surroundings. In terms of accessibility, Soestdijk scores well: the neighbourhood is conveniently located relative to the A28 towards Utrecht and Amersfoort. Baarn station is a short bike ride away and offers connections towards Utrecht and Amsterdam. Bus services connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Soest and surrounding places.
