Description

Following the recent redevelopment of the quiet Lange Brilstraat into a pedestrian-friendly residential street, as well as the renovation of Stadswaag and Paardenmarkt, this neighbourhood has been significantly upgraded. Add to that the many great spots such as the new Café Keulen, nice restaurants and coffee bars, and the proximity of the MAS, the renewed quays, and the historic city centre, and it’s easy to see why this has become such a pleasant urban area. Lively during the week, quiet on weekends – the perfect balance for comfortable city living.

The overall feel is defined by beautiful wooden beams and floors, an abundance of cozy charm, surprisingly generous natural light, and a unique layout with different spaces on split levels – atypical and therefore all the more charming.
