Furnished apartments in Brussels

Short-term rentals in Brussels, by the month

Globexs rents furnished apartments in Brussels by the month, for stays of one to eleven months. Each apartment has one all-in monthly price that already includes energy, with no euro cap, so there are no utility contracts to set up and no extra bill when winter comes. Apartments start at €1,500 per month, and team houses just outside the city start at €2,950 per month.

Renting is simple for newcomers. The tenant signs with an identity document: no payslips, no guarantor and no Belgian bank account. Check-in can take place the same day or the day after the contract is signed and the first month is paid by instant transfer.

Where to live in Brussels: the commute to the EU quarter

Brussels is nineteen communes, and for most people who move here for work one question decides the address: how far is the European quarter around Schuman.

European quarter and Etterbeek

Walking distance to the Commission, the Council and the Parliament. Etterbeek, right behind the institutions, adds Place Jourdan and quieter residential streets. The practical choice for staff who want to walk to work.

Ixelles

Flagey, Châtelain and the ponds: markets, cafés and restaurants, with the European Parliament on its edge and a short bus or bike ride to Schuman. Popular with trainees, young EU staff and consultants.

Saint-Gilles

Art Nouveau streets, the Parvis and a strong local character, usually at a lower price than the EU quarter. About 25 to 35 minutes to Schuman, with Brussels-Midi station and its direct trains to Paris, London and Amsterdam on the doorstep.

Schaerbeek

Parc Josaphat, grand Art Nouveau houses and some of the best value in Brussels, a short tram or bus ride north of the EU quarter. Your rental agent knows which streets to pick.

Woluwe-Saint-Lambert and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre

Green, residential and calm, with metro line 1 running straight to Schuman. Space, parks and good schools make the Woluwes a favourite with families.

Uccle

Leafy and quiet in the south of the city, close to several international schools, with larger apartments and houses. The trip to the EU quarter is longer, around 30 to 45 minutes, which families usually accept for the school.

Who stays with Globexs in Brussels

• EU trainees and staff on assignment. Stagiaires, seconded national experts and staff posted to the institutions, agencies and permanent representations, whose start dates are fixed months ahead.
• Consultants and project staff. Assignments of a few weeks to a few months, often booked at short notice.
• Corporate teams. From 1 to 50 people, in several apartments in the same area or together in a team house with parking north of the city.
• Individual expats. Professionals who want a furnished home without a twelve-month lease.

What the monthly price includes

• A furnished apartment with a fully equipped kitchen
• Energy, with no euro cap
• Cleaning every two weeks in selected apartments
• Parking as shown in each listing: a private space, usually around €100 per month, or street parking

Contracts run from 1 to 11 months and are extended with one email. If an employee changes, an addendum keeps the same contract in place. A partner or family can join mid-stay when you tell us in advance; the price follows the number of occupants, because energy is included. Registration with the commune at the apartment is possible with the owner's agreement.

Send your dates, the number of people and the work address, and your rental agent replies with available apartments and all-in prices. Companies placing staff: see corporate housing in Brussels.
