Wommelgem

Wommelgem is a compact but vibrant municipality that directly borders Antwerp, offering an exceptional location for those combining urban proximity with a village living environment. The centre at the Kerkplaats is attractively designed with terraces, local shops, supermarkets and the well-known Wommelgemse Steenweg (N12) connecting the municipality to Borsbeek and Antwerp. The Fort of Wommelgem — part of the Brialmont fortification ring — and the nearby Rivierenhof (130 ha) are within walking or cycling distance, offering recreational assets rare so close to the city. Primary schools Oktopus and De Wegwijzer enjoy an excellent reputation. Wommelgem Shopping village on the Autolei attracts visitors from across the region.

Property in Wommelgem belongs to the highest price range in the region thanks to its unrivalled location on the border with Antwerp. The Antwerp Ring (R1) is 5 minutes away, the A13 towards Hasselt 3 minutes, and public transport (tram 9, bus 410) makes Wommelgem a dream location for commuters. The housing market is competitive: homes sell quickly and often above asking price. Families value the strong range of schools, the Wommelgem Sports Centre and the proximity of the Rivierenhof for weekend recreation. De Steenboer advises owners in Wommelgem on maximising their property value — in a market where every euro counts — and guides buyers with speed and expertise in an environment where the best homes are sold within days.
