sat hoei
Situated southeast of Brussels and wedged betweeen the woodlands of the Foret de Soignes, the European capital Brussels to the north and the green municipalities of  Overijse, La Hulpe and Genval. The old village borders the small IJzer/Yser river. The outlying built-up area is a little bit higher up the hilly terrain. Officially located on Flemish soil, but rapidly internationalizing due to an influx of well heeled Europeans. Combined with excellent schools, a stock of not overly expensive villa's on decent plots, and the laid back village atmosphere (Hoeilaart has slightly more than 10.000 inhabitants), makes for an increasing demand from expat families to settle in this quiet corner of the Brussels agglomeration.

Compared with some eastern  urbs, Hoeilaart villa's are still affordable for middle class French speakers migrating from Brussels.  Families that are hunting for 'quatre facades'  kind of gave up on Wezembeek, Kraainem and Tervuren and shift their attention to communities like Hoeilaart, Waterloo, Genval.
Accessibility is ann issue depending on where one has to go. If  one has a daytime job at the Zaventem airport, Hoeilaart might not be a very good idea.
The Brussels RER/GEN project is supposed to improve public transport from the Brussels suburbs drastically.  See map below.
