Nieuw ZuidRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
At €18.2/m², this is the city's undisputed FINAL_BOSS for rental pricing because there is zero old, cheap stock to balance the books. You are paying a premium for triple-glazed windows, heat networks, and the status of living in a starchitect-designed box. It isn't a gentrification trap so much as a purpose-built enclave for those who find the rest of Antwerp too messy.
The Vibe:Living here feels like inhabiting a high-end architectural render where every tree and bench has been positioned by a master planner. The crowd consists of high-earning professionals and downsizers who prioritize LEED-certified silence over the grit of the city center. You’ll spend your time dodging the wind tunnels between towers to catch Tram 1 or 10 at the nearby Bolivarplaats.

Locals Ask
Does the wind really make the balconies unusable?
On high floors, the Scheldt breeze is brutal; check if the unit has a 'winter garden' glass enclosure or you'll never sit outside.
Is parking included in the €18.2/m² rate?
Almost never. Expect to pay an additional €125 to €175 monthly for a spot in the underground bunkers.
How's the commute to the Haven?
It's elite; you can hop onto the R1 via the Jan de Voslei entrance in three minutes if you beat the Bolivarplaats traffic.
Where is the nearest 'real' supermarket?
The local Delhaize is small and pricey; most residents drive or bike to the larger Colruyt near the Palace of Justice.
Is there any nightlife here?
Zero. You’ll be walking 15 minutes to the 'Het Zuid' district for a bar that stays open past midnight.
