Unlike other European capital cities, Brussels has a plentiful supply of relatively inexpensive accommodation, making it fairly easy to find a place that suits your needs. As in most other European countries this is either rent or bought. It is important to know the basic rules concerning lease contracts before signing. Remember that you will need to pay a guarantee, make an inventory and also be aware that rents are very often index-linked and are normally increased every year in line with a fixed index. Finally, if you would like to buy an accommodation, you will need to consult a notary, who will guide you through the procedure. The Brussels-Capital Region is cosmopolitan and also diversified by the 19 communes that make it up, each offering its own touch to the Brussels fresco.
For more information on the 19 municipalities, take a look at this publication produced by the Brussels statistics institute IBSA/BISA, which analyses the main demographic and socio-economic indicators for each of the 19 Brussels municipalities.
