Soestdijk, Rural settlement in Soest, Netherlands.

Soestdijk is a small residential settlement straddling the municipalities of Soest and Baarn, characterized by traditional Dutch houses set along tree-lined streets. The place has a quiet, rural character with an open street layout typical of village communities in this region.

The settlement was first documented in 1394 as Zoesdijck and developed around a dike built in 1378 to create a direct route to Utrecht. This early infrastructure shaped how the community grew and connected to surrounding areas.

The community structure reflects traditional Dutch village organization, with approximately 30 houses maintaining close social connections.

A railway station that opened in 1898 connects the settlement to the regional transport network and offers convenient access to nearby towns. The quiet setting makes it a pleasant place for walking and exploring the neighborhood by bicycle.

The settlement spans 1.84 square kilometers and maintains a population density of 2,600 residents per square kilometer.
