Have you heard of Belval, a stone's throw from the Franco-Luxembourg border? This new district is well worth a visit if you're looking for an apartment for sale or rent. Living in Belval means choosing proximity to major business hubs, but above all it means adopting a healthier lifestyle without giving up the conveniences of city life. In short, living in Belval means entering a new world without leaving Luxembourg!
What are the advantages of the new Belval district?
Finding accommodation in Luxembourg is a bit of an obstacle course. Finding a place to rent often means scaling back your desires and resigning yourself to long daily commutes. Buying your own home can make you break out in a cold sweat. But what if living at Belval was the solution? If you want to set up your family in a connected, unspoilt environment, move closer to your place of study or work, or make a profitable investment, Belval is the address to explore first.
Located on a former steelworks site undergoing conversion, straddling the municipalities of Esch-sur-Alzette and Sanem, this new district has been designed as an ideal city built around a cultural heritage site open to visitors: the blast furnace site.
In harmony with this past, new buildings are being erected to accommodate businesses and residents. But they are not built at the expense of natural spaces, which remain omnipresent: around the buildings and, at the heart of the district, in the 8-hectare Parc Um Belval, a green space equipped for relaxation.
Is a family move to Belval a good idea?
The Cité Universitaire, the Cité des Sciences and the Luxembourg Learning Centre library are already attracting researchers and academics, who will find studios, apartments and coliving units to suit their needs. They are also aimed at young professionals already employed in this booming economic area, or who will benefit from new professional opportunities.
To the west of Belval, the new Square Mile neighborhood is gradually taking shape, close to a school center and a high school, to welcome families looking for a new property on a site with all amenities. Retired people will also find a practical and functional environment in which to organize their free time as they wish, between tranquillity and sociability.
What's daily life like at Belval?
In Belval, two stations provide a 20-minute train ride to Luxembourg City. There are also numerous inter-city, regional and cross-border bus routes , and soon a tramway. To stay in shape, you can also take advantage of the highly-developed cycling and pedestrian network and ride the famous Vëlodukt, a 2 km overhead cycle path leading to Esch-sur-Alzette, while an even longer cycle path will follow the tramway route to Luxembourg-.
Do you dream of a place to live where the car is no longer essential? In Belval, you can walk to the Kinepolis or the Rockhal to see a film or attend a concert, or walk or cycle to the gym.
