Moving to Vilvoorde

Vilvoorde is a dynamic town north of Brussels, along the Willebroek canal, undergoing a major urban transformation. The historic centre around the Grote Markt and the Leuvensestraat offers townhouses and apartments above the shops. The Watersite district, a redevelopment of former industrial brownfields along the canal, provides new, modern housing. The sections of Koningslo and Houtem retain a more residential character with family homes and villas.
