We asked people about the cost of living in Belgium, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Belgium varies depending on the city or town you live in, but it is generally more expensive than many other countries in Europe. Brussels and Antwerp tend to have a higher cost of living compared to more rural locations, as the demand for housing in the capital city is generally high. The typical rental price for a one bedroom apartment in Belgium is generally around $850-$1,200 USD, while a two bedroom can range from $900-$1,500 USD. Eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant typically will cost anywhere from $15-$25 USD, depending on the restaurant," remarked another expat who made the move to Belgium.

"Brussels is one of the cheapest European capitals, so if you want to buy a house. Beautiful neighborhoods like Woluwé Saint Lambert, Woluwé Saint-Pierre, Kraainem and Ixelles are great and the price of housing is affordable. House prices have risen since the covid crisis ," explained one expat living in Brussels, Belgium.
