Lille

Lille is the largest municipality by area in the region at 45 square kilometres and offers a unique rural living experience that increasingly appeals to people from the Antwerp periphery and Turnhout. The municipality is a mosaic of forests, heathlands, farmland and picturesque village centres that together create a living experience found nowhere else in the Kempen. The village centre around the Kerkplein is lively with the Sint-Pietersbandenkerk, local bakeries, brasserie Den Eik and a thriving community life that organises the Lilse Feesten — the largest village festival in the Kempen. The sub-municipalities of Gierle (with its equestrian tradition), Wechelderzande (quiet and rural) and Poederlee (modern and residential) each add a unique dimension to the housing supply.

Despite its distinctly rural character, Lille is surprisingly well accessible: the E34 (Lille exit) and E313 are just 5 minutes' drive away, and bus connections (line 430/431) connect the municipality with Turnhout and Herentals. The property market offers a broad spectrum — from authentic Kempen farmhouses with outbuildings in Gierle to modern new-build villas on forested plots in Poederlee and affordable semi-detached houses in the centre. The average plot size is the largest in the region, attracting builders and nature lovers. De Steenboer understands the specific appeal of Lille and guides owners in correctly assessing their property value in this sought-after market. We help buyers find their dream home in one of the most beautiful and greenest municipalities of the Antwerp Kempen.
