Brussels is officially described as a capital city — but it behaves more like a network of villages connected by green spaces. Parks play a central role in everyday life, especially for those living in dense urban neighborhoods.
For Neybor residents, proximity to nature is a key part of smart urban living.
Ixelles – Lakeside charm
The Ixelles Ponds offer one of the city’s most iconic walks, framed by Art Nouveau façades and cafés. Nearby, the Abbaye de la Cambre extends the experience into calm, structured greenery.
Saint-Gilles – Urban energy
Parc de Forest sits on a hill overlooking Brussels, attracting joggers, families and sunset watchers. It reflects Saint-Gilles itself: social, expressive and alive.
Etterbeek – Active balance
Parc du Cinquantenaire is one of Brussels’ largest parks, ideal for sports, picnics and open-air events — a daily extension of home for nearby residents.
Botanique – Central calm and culture
Botanique offers one of the city’s most central green pauses, framed by cultural venues and dense urban life. Less an escape than a moment of calm, right in the flow of Brussels.
Uccle & Schaerbeek – Nature within reach
From the Bois de la Cambre to Parc Josaphat, these areas offer breathing space without leaving the city.
Living near green spaces with Neybor
Neybor chooses locations that allow residents to:
- Walk to parks
- Reset between workdays
- Anchor routines outdoors
Because quality of life extends beyond your front door.

Brussels is a city you rarely understand at first glance. It doesn’t announce itself with one single skyline or one dominant style. Instead, it reveals itself through details: a curve of ironwork above a doorway, a façade that changes rhythm from one street to the next, a townhouse that holds more light and depth than you’d expect from the outside. This is what makes Brussels quietly exceptional. The city is not built around a single architectural identity, but around layers — Art Nouveau, Art Deco, early modernism, postwar additions — all stitched into the same urban fabric. If you live here long enough, you start noticing how architecture shapes not only the streets, but the way daily life unfolds inside them. At Neybor, we treat architecture as more than a setting. It’s the framework that determines how a home breathes, how it flows, and how it supports shared living without friction. Coliving, when done thoughtfully, isn’t placed on top of Brussels — it grows naturally out of the city’s houses.
