Forest’s property market has changed markedly. In 2025, the median house price reached €553,500, up 3.5% year-on-year and 25.8% between 2021 and 2025, according to Fednot. The latter was the largest increase among Brussels’ 19 municipalities over that period. These municipal benchmarks do not replace an individual valuation of your property.

Urban Transformation and Residential Environment
Forest’s urban transformation is reflected, in particular, in projects documented by the municipality: the redevelopment of Square de l’Eau, improvements to access to the Forest-Est train station, and the renovation of the Hangar de l’Imprimerie. These projects illustrate the evolution of public spaces and local facilities.
When appraising, selling, or renting a property in Forest, these lifestyle factors are complemented by an analysis of its exact location, size, condition, and energy efficiency.
Most house purchases are made by two buyers
The Fednot Barometer distinguishes between purchases made by individuals and those made by couples. Its «couples» category refers to purchases made by two people, without making any assumptions about the buyers’ marital or romantic status. It does not provide information about how long they plan to live in the property or their motivations for the purchase.
Some key areas to consider when assessing your property’s location include the areas surrounding Forest Park and Duden Park, the Altitude Cent neighborhood, and the historic center around Place Saint-Denis. Each area has its own urban context; the valuation must then be refined at the street and property levels.
The median apartment price in Forest was €280,000 in 2025, down 3.3% compared with 2024. This trend differs from that of houses and cannot, on its own, explain buyers’ preferences.
