Flemish Brabant is a versatile province in the heart of Flanders, strategically located around Belgium’s capital, Brussels. With Leuven as its capital and numerous charming towns and villages, the province combines urban vibrancy with rural tranquillity.
It is divided into two distinct regions: the Hageland, known for its rolling vineyards, orchards and hiking trails, and the Green Belt around Brussels, dotted with historic castles, parks and woodlands. This makes Flemish Brabant a perfect destination for those who value nature, heritage and culture.
Economically, Flemish Brabant is a driving force within Belgium. Its proximity to Brussels and the presence of international institutions, innovative companies and research centres (such as KU Leuven and the Arenberg Science Park) make it a hotspot for knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Accessibility is one of its key assets: with the Brussels Ring, an extensive railway network and Brussels Airport in Zaventem, the province is perfectly connected to the rest of Belgium and Europe.
For housing and real estate, Flemish Brabant offers a wide range of opportunities: from modern apartments in Leuven or Vilvoorde to country houses in the Hageland or luxury residences in the Druivenstreek (Grape Region). This diversity appeals to families, students, expats and investors alike.
In short, Flemish Brabant is a province where city and countryside, heritage and progress, nature and innovation seamlessly come together.
