Editor's guide to Where to Live in Belgium Here's a short introduction to our Where to Live section for Belgium to help you with the cost of living and finding your perfect neighbourhood.

One of the most important decisions you’ll make upon arriving at your new location is where to live. The cost of housing, proximity to work, schools and amenities should be considered as well as your preferred neighbourhood. Some people prefer to stay in neighbourhoods popular with other internationals, while others choose to live in areas popular with locals.

An Expatica poll reveals that when looking for expat accommodation, most people consider the neighbourhood (54 percent) and then price (24 percent). For a personal opinion, read the story of one expat's take onwhat it means to have a culture clash in the world of neighbours when living abroad in Where's the neighbourly love?

Which city, town or neighbourhood to live in
Expatica’s ‘Where to Live’ channel carries articles providing details of key areas in your new country or city of residence to help you start your search. Where to live in Belgium gives general descriptions of the popular expat locations, while articles like Where to live in Brussels focuses on the property market in the capital.

Ask your fellow expats
Other expats are a great source of information about what different areas are like. Why not try asking in the Expatica forums for people’s impressions of the place you’re interested in?
