Globexs is a corporate housing and relocation company that has rented furnished mid-term apartments in Belgium for more than 20 years, with homes in Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp. All apartments come fully furnished and all-inclusive, with flexible contracts from 1 to 11 months and prices from €1,500 per month, and move-in is possible within 24 to 48 hours. In Ghent we house visiting academics and researchers at Ghent University, specialists from the biotech and life-sciences cluster, professionals working at North Sea Port, corporate teams relocated by their employers (with single-invoice billing for HR and mobility departments), and individual expats who want a home without the commitment of a 12-month Belgian lease. Newcomers must register with the city administration within 8 days of arrival — a procedure Globexs guides every tenant through. Ghent itself is one of Europe's most livable cities: a medieval centre largely closed to cars, a university of more than 45,000 students, canal-side architecture and a food scene that made it a vegetarian pioneer, with trains reaching Brussels in 30 minutes and Antwerp in 50.
Home to Ghent University, one of Europe's top-ranked research institutions with 45,000+ students, plus numerous research centers and tech incubators.
Significantly more affordable than Brussels or Antwerp, with mid-term furnished rentals offering excellent value for academics and professionals.
A growing technology ecosystem with startups, biotech companies, and the renowned imec research center attracting international talent.
A cosmopolitan atmosphere with 15% international population, numerous expat groups, and English widely spoken in professional and academic settings.
