Ghent and its suburbs

Ghent remains a major draw thanks to its job opportunities, higher education, cultural offerings, and a diverse range of transportation options.

In the city, the focus is often on apartments and compact townhouses, while the outskirts (Drongen, Merelbeke, Sint-Martens-Latem, and the surrounding area) are particularly popular for residential living that offers more space and greenery. This combination creates broad demand: first-time buyers, families, and investors alike can find a home there. Proximity to public transportation, major roads, and bike paths remains a decisive factor in the valuation of real estate in and around Ghent.
