Sterrebeek, officially part of the municipality of Zaventem, is a seperate entity in the Flemish countryside east of Brussels. More modest, more Flemish and a lot cheaper than Wezembeek-Oppem, it is starting to attract a considerable amount of internationals from the capital, who are all looking for a good deal in the real estate market. There is no downtown to speak of. Shops are located along the strip of the Mechelsesteenweg. The countryside around here is flat and rather dull, but Sterrebeek will end up in some years from now in the ultimate suburb.Connection with the Ring is very good. The proximity of Ring and the Airport could cause locally lots of nuisance, depending on air traffic routes, so take account if you are very sensitive. But be careful with complaints because after all this is part of the Zaventem municipality which thrives on the airport.

The hippodrome of Sterrebeek (see pic above) could have been one of its most exciting features. Currently it is not in use.
