The rental market in Ganshoren in 2026
Ganshoren is one of the quietest municipalities in the Brussels 2nd ring. With an average rent of 850 EUR/month for a 2-bedroom apartment and a median purchase price of 2,550 EUR/m2, it positions itself as an affordable alternative to Jette, its better-known neighbour. The rental rate of 42% confirms a predominantly owner-occupier profile.
Ganshoren’s main asset for the rental market is the proximity of Simonis metro (lines 2 and 6), accessible from the Centre quarter in a few minutes. This direct metro connection compensates for the absence of a station on the municipal territory itself. The gross yield of 4.5% places it among the most attractive municipalities in the northwest for rental investment.
Local specifics to know
- Simonis metro as a price driver: properties near this station (Centre quarter) command rents 15 to 20% above those in the upper part of the municipality
- Homogeneous property stock: buildings mainly from the 1950s-1960s, median EPC D, strong potential for value creation through energy renovation
- Stable family profile: low rental turnover, average lease duration above 4 years, reducing vacancy and refurbishment costs
- Municipal taxation: no specific second residence tax in Ganshoren, an advantage compared to some central municipalities
Tips for renting in Ganshoren
Ganshoren is particularly suited for investors seeking stable rental yield without excessive purchase price pressure. The Centre quarter, near Simonis, is the most in-demand segment. For properties in the upper part (Rivieren, Haute), the tenant profile is more family-oriented with long leases — an advantage in terms of management.
The main margin for improvement remains the EPC upgrade. Ganshoren’s property stock, ageing but solidly built, lends itself to targeted renovations (roof insulation, window replacement) that allow upgrading from D to C and justifying a rent increase of 8 to 12%. The post-renovation gross yield can reach 5% on the best locations.
