A apartment renting in Flanders has become 3.1 percent more expensive. But in Mechelen (+7.1 percent to 874 euros) and Genk (+5.6 percent to 744 euros), prices have risen the most. “In Mechelen, the average rent for apartments has risen by almost 100 euros in two years,” says Thijs. “This is due to the many new buildings and its location on the expensive Brussels-Antwerp axis, which means that people are moving to Mechelen. Mechelen also has a special attraction, the city has become more attractive.”
