"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Antwerp, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home in Antwerp can be a great investment, as the city is known for its strong real estate market. However, it is important to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs, as well as the cost of a mortgage.
