We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Ypres is like. They answered...

"A typical expat home or apartment in Ypres, often reflects the city's rich history and architectural charm. Many apartments are located in renovated historical buildings, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and sometimes even original architectural details like exposed brick walls or wooden beams. The homes are usually spacious, with a comfortable living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and one or more bedrooms. Some might also have a small outdoor space, such as a balcony or a terrace. The interior design often combines modern comfort with traditional Belgian elements, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Despite being in a historical city, these homes are usually equipped with modern amenities such as central heating, Wi-Fi, and modern appliances. They are often located within walking distance of the city center, making it easy for expats to explore Ypres' famous sites, restaurants, and shops," wrote a member who made the move to Ypres, Belgium.
