Living in Brussels is a great experience. To enjoy this experience fully you need to have a suitable place to live. Prices will vary according size and level of comfort, but location can also have a significant impact on price.
on internet
Searching online will help you get a feel for the options and prices available. Most adverts include an estimate of the living space in square meters and the number of bedrooms and other amenities the property offers. They also include the rent price and the amount of monthly charges. Online property platforms are easy to use, have a large number of listings, and usually don’t charge any direct fees. The following websites have a broad selection of properties to rent or buy: Immoweb, Immovlan and LogicImmo. It might also be worth to have a look at the Facebook group BXL A LOUER - bouche à oreilles.
