Is Belval the New Kirchberg? Why Young Pros are Moving South for Co-living in 2026 🚀

Is Belval the New Kirchberg? Why Young Pros are Moving South for Co-living in 2026 🚀

If you’ve been scrolling through r/Luxembourg lately, you know the drill: finding a decent place in the capital feels like winning the lottery... if the lottery cost you 1.500€ for a shoebox. 🤯

But wait, have you looked south? Belval is no longer just a "university town" or a remnant of the steel industry. In 2026, it has transformed into a futuristic hub where industrial heritage meets high-tech luxury.

The Lifestyle Gap: Why Belval Wins 🏗️

While neighborhoods like Bonnevoie offer "soul," they often come with old plumbing and lack of space. In Belval, co-living spaces are designed for the 2026 professional. We’re talking about furnished rooms in buildings with A+ energy ratings, rooftop terraces, and high-speed fiber included.
