Soestdijk, Soest
This studio on van Weedestraat 205 sits in a quiet part of Soestdijk, a neighbourhood that feels safe and green. At 41 m² it's compact, and the asking price of €225,000 is well below the neighbourhood average, partly because studios are smaller than the typical family home here. Compared to other studios in Soest, this price is keen.

About van Weedestraat 205, Soest
The asking price of €225,000 is 80% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,143,333, but that average is based on much larger homes (average 209 m²). This studio is 41 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,155/m². Given the compact size and the quiet location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio in Soestdijk.
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, so you can expect moderate energy costs. It does not necessarily mean the property is poorly insulated, the label can be influenced by the heating system or ventilation.

Auto-translated to English by AIFeels safe, because hardly anything bad ever happens, but not much happens either. It's not very multicultural, and there isn't much interaction with other people. It is very hygienic and reasonably beautiful. Nice that it's next to the Baarnse Bos.

How residents experience their district
amazing
Auto-translated to English by AIThe living room of my house looks out onto the Beetzlaan, the other side looks out onto the Nieuwstraat: I have little/nothing to do with the Schaepmanstraat, for example, which is a much less good street. Many people from a lower social class also live there: there is nothing wrong with that in itself, but I don't understand these people, the children hang around on the street and are constantly shouting. So I avoid these streets, I distance myself from them. The entrance to the Bleekveld car park where my car is parked is on the Beetzlaan, and I consider the Beetzlaan as the entrance to my house. Within walking distance there is a bus station and by bike you can reach the shops in 7 minutes: I find that very pleasant. I have good contact with most residents of Bleekveld (18 homes). Years ago, De Alliantie allowed me to have a balcony built in the attic as part of 'home improvement'. This was a pilot by De Alliantie, and I am very happy with it. I think I have a fantastic house in a nice neighbourhood/street to live in.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very nice and safe here, everyone helps each other and has a lot of respect for each other, very nice. There was a fire recently and everyone helped the people where the fire was.

How residents experience their municipality
Living in this neighbourhood is a wonderful experience. It's clean, safe, and there are many child-friendly parks where you always see happy children playing. What makes it truly special is the strong sense of community. The neighbours are warm and friendly, I know everyone on my street and there's always a smile or a greeting. When I'm working in my front garden, people often stop to say hello and have a chat. It's a place where you truly feel connected and at home.
Auto-translated to English by AINow, heavy tree felling, I was against it! In connection with climate change, to stop tree felling and not to mention clean air in the neighbourhood. Traffic, increased a lot over the years! If a resident was parked in a parking space, please remove the car! There was a move, long-term parking in front of my house (without my permission!) Anonymous notes distributed in the past about dog walking nuisance, cats visiting front gardens, cat poop. Bird poop, don't put food in the birdhouse, you get bird poop! After my husband's death, I received a flower wreath in my bin (unbelievable, right?) So, I could go on for a while!
