Average net salary to live in the center?

[Gabriela_Malta]

How much should be my average net salary to afford me and my husband living in the centre of Brussels?

[Mauro_Deidda]

Well, it depends on what you mean for "center". Bruxelles itself is quite small, and the urban city is composed of the total of the 19 municipalities. Living in real Bruxelles, the very center can be substantially less expensive than most of the other zones. I live in one of the other municipalities and I'm still no more than 10/15' walking from the center. To live in a good zone (Ixelles, Etterbeek, the European Quarter...) you will need I guess 3k monthly with both salaries (an average rent is ~800/1000€

Depense your lifestyle offcourse but i would say somewhere around €3000 to start with.

It mostly depends where you choose to live in the center of Brussels. It also depends of your standards of living and the kind of space you're looking for. Can you be more specific ?

[Gabriela_Malta]

I would consider a nice neighborhood, for exemple Ixelles, near the subway. We don´t have a luxury life style, but we like to go out to bars and restaurants during the weekend, to go to the gym during the week, and one week at a month or two go to traveling nearby. Do you believe 3k per month would be ok? thanks

Yes, more than enough
