L’Îlot Vert: Gated community living close to schools, shops and culture in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

For many expats arriving in Brussels, the challenge is to find a home that combines calm surroundings with easy access to international schools, the city centre and major transport routes. L’Îlot Vert, a new residential development in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, responds directly to those needs, offering modern homes in a secure, green setting at the edge of the city.

A gated community in a green oasis
Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street, L’Îlot Vert lives up to its name: a small island of greenery within the city. Surrounded by 4,500m² of landscaped gardens, a natural brook and a bioswale that helps manage rainwater, the project feels far removed from the urban bustle. At the same time, it is strategically located near the E40 and Brussels Ring, with metro, tram and bus connections close by.

The development is designed as a gated community, fully enclosed to ensure privacy and peace of mind. Cars are kept underground in a garage with 35 spaces, while there is secure bicycle storage for 70 bikes. Safety and tranquillity are part of daily life here.

International schools nearby
Families will appreciate the proximity of some of Brussels’ best-known international schools. Both the European School Brussels II and the International Montessori School are just a short cycle away. This makes L’Îlot Vert especially attractive for expats who want to combine a high-quality education for their children with a comfortable home environment.

Shops, sports and culture on the doorstep
Daily life is made easy with supermarkets along the nearby Leuvense Steenweg and the Woluwe Shopping Centre just 15 minutes away. For leisure, residents can choose between three major sports complexes – Fallon Stadium, Poseidon and Mounier – or explore local parks such as Malou Park and Hof ter Musschen. Cultural life is equally accessible, with events and activities at the Wolubilis cultural centre.

Mobility that works for expats
Whether you commute to Brussels’ European institutions, to Leuven or further afield, L’Îlot Vert has excellent mobility options. A bicycle highway brings you directly to Leuven, public transport links are close, and the project scores an impressive 8.8 out of 10 on the Belgian Mobiscore.

Modern, sustainable living

The development consists of 12 houses and 16 apartments, each with its own garden or terrace. All units are equipped with underfloor heating and powered by geothermal energy, offering year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact. The architecture is sleek and contemporary, using sustainable materials such as Rockpanel Woods that combine durability with a warm appearance.

A secure home with international appeal
For expats, L’Îlot Vert is more than a place to live: it is a base that combines community, comfort and connection. The gated design offers safety and peace of mind, while the international atmosphere of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert ensures newcomers feel at home quickly.

In short, L’Îlot Vert delivers the balance many expats are looking for: natural living with all the conveniences of Brussels within easy reach.
