Where is best area to live with kids in Brussels?

Post new topic

TF8283

So considering a short term contract in Brussels - working near Zaventem.
Will require child to go to daycare english or french speaking ( not found yet, depends where we wish to stay).

What areas would you recommend to stay or to avoid? Will be using public transport and do not wish to have a long commute, but also don't want to be in the middle of nowhere.

Does such place exist? :)

Many thanks

New creche in the Sint-Stevens-Woluwe district of Zaventem. Won't be cheap, but there will be places.

Creches are for under 3s, if over 2.5 years, look for  school instead which is free if a local school.
