What do people like (and dislike) about Waterloo?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Waterloo, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Waterloo, often appreciate the town's rich history, including its connection to the Battle of Waterloo. They also enjoy the high quality of life, with excellent healthcare, education, and public transportation systems. The town's proximity to Brussels makes it convenient for work and leisure, while its smaller size offers a more relaxed, suburban atmosphere. The local community is welcoming and diverse, with many international residents and a variety of cultural events and activities. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the cost of living in Waterloo to be relatively high, particularly when it comes to housing and dining out. The weather can also be a downside, as Belgium is known for its frequent rain and overcast skies. Additionally, while many locals speak English, it can still be challenging for expats to navigate the language barrier, especially when dealing with bureaucracy and official paperwork. Finally, some may find the job market to be competitive, particularly for those who do not speak French or Dutch," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Waterloo, Belgium.
