Biestebroeck : the new face of Anderlecht between city and canal

An environment between city and nature

Just a few minutes away, Astrid Park—an extensive green space of over 9 hectares—offers an ideal setting to relax, enjoy sports, or take family walks. This emblematic park of Anderlecht is a true green lung, appreciated for its ponds, remarkable trees, and sports facilities.

The canal, for its part, brings a unique dimension to the neighbourhood, with its open views and ongoing developments further enhancing the area’s residential appeal.

A neighbourhood undergoing full renewal

The neighbourhood is undergoing a profound transformation with the arrival of new real estate developments and redesigned public spaces, encouraging a balanced mix of housing, retail, and activities.

Nearby, Place de l’Alliance serves as a local landmark, offering shops, services, and a lively neighbourhood atmosphere, contributing to a welcoming and authentic environment.

The Anderlecht Abattoirs, a true Brussels institution, also contribute to the area’s appeal. This emblematic site hosts, among other things, a large weekly market and numerous food businesses, making the neighbourhood lively and multicultural.

Another key advantage of the area, in addition to the presence and proximity of numerous schools, is its strong connectivity to the rest of the city and its excellent public transport coverage.

With its east–west axis linking the European Quarter, the railway line includes two nearby stops around Place Saint-Job: one at Pont Saint-Job and the other at Vivier d’Oie. Meanwhile, tram line 92 provides easy access to the other neighbourhoods of Uccle as well as the wider capital.

Accessibility & Transport

The neighbourhood benefits from excellent accessibility:

  • Close proximity to Brussels South Station (Gare du Midi) and major road networks

  • Fast connections to the city centre

  • A dense public transport network (metro, tram, bus)

  • Direct access to main routes such as Chaussée de Mons and the ring road, making travel easy

This accessibility further enhances the area’s strategic appeal, both for commuters and investors.

Schools & Infrastructure

The area is well served by schools, nurseries, and sports facilities, typical of a family-oriented municipality such as Anderlecht.

Nearby, you will also find training centres, public facilities, and various everyday services, further enhancing the neighbourhood’s residential appeal.

A high-potential neighbourhood

Biestebroeck today embodies the renewal of the Brussels canal area:

  • A neighbourhood undergoing significant transformation

  • Enhancement of the waterfront

  • Ambitious new urban developments

  • Strong potential for value growth in the medium to long term
