Cents

(2)

2 verified reviews

Eastern residential neighbourhood with a genuine community feel, popular among families for its calm streets, affordable rents, and excellent local amenities. Features the Carmelite Convent, multiple schools and crèches, well-maintained parks and playgrounds, convenient shopping, and strong public transport including the Cents-Hamm train station. Drawbacks include regular aircraft noise from nearby Findel Airport, very limited dining options, and a large-scale development planned near the Wassercentrum.

The lifestyle

Cents is the most authentically Luxembourgish neighbourhood in the capital — with only 49% foreign residents, it stands apart from the city's highly international character. Family-friendly and green, it attracts Luxembourgers and long-settled expats who value calm streets, nature access, and a genuine community feel. The Cents-Hamm train station is a key asset, and the upcoming Cents-Neudorf-Weimershof footbridge will further boost connectivity.

The market

Purchase prices at ~€12,452/m² are slightly above the city average, reflecting stable demand for this family-oriented enclave. Rental prices are notably below average at ~€26.37/m² — one of the best value neighbourhoods in the capital for renters. Rental supply is limited due to the predominantly owner-occupied housing stock of single-family homes and villas.
