Nieuw KwartierRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of €14.5/m², you are firmly in BOUGIE territory. You’re paying a premium for the 'Antwerpen 2000' prestige and the proximity to the Schuttershofstraat shopping district. Our neighborhood analysis suggests that while the prices are steep, the investment outlook remains rock-solid because high-income tenants value this level of quiet discipline in the center.
The Vibe:This is where Antwerp’s legal elite and established professionals settle when they want to be near the Bourla Theater but away from the tourist swarms. The streets are lined with imposing 19th-century facades and high-end apartment blocks that overlook the Stadspark. If you're commuting, the Tram 4 and 7 lines are your lifelines, as finding a street parking spot here is a genuine test of patience.

Locals Ask
Does the average rent include a parking spot?
Hardly ever. Budget an additional €150 to €200 monthly if you need a secure garage in this part of town.
Why is the m² stats range so wide here?
The low end covers dated 1970s apartments, while the €17.8/m² peak reflects renovated penthouses with park views.
Is the area noisy at night?
It’s surprisingly dead after 9 PM, which is exactly why people pay these prices to live here.
What is the investment outlook for small units?
Tight; the inventory is mostly large apartments, so finding a small studio is rare and usually overpriced.
Are utility costs higher in these older buildings?
Often yes, as many of the grander buildings lack modern insulation, so check the EPC before signing.
