Schoten is one of the most sought-after addresses in the Antwerp metropolitan area. The municipality has a high average income, good public schools and a well-maintained public realm. The green spaces and large gardens are a major draw for families. Several international schools operate in the greater Antwerp area and are easily reachable from Schoten. Property prices are high by Belgian standards but significantly lower than equivalent suburbs in Brussels. Antwerp city centre is about 7 km by road or tram.
Schoten is one of those addresses that locals in Antwerp name when they talk about where they really want to live. The streets are wider. The gardens are bigger. The schools are good. And Antwerp city is just 7 km away. For a UK national moving to the Antwerp area with a family, Schoten is one of the strongest options. It isn't cheap by Belgian standards. But it's more affordable than similar suburbs in the Brussels area. And it's outside the Antwerp LEZ, which makes van access more direct. Give your mover the full postcode and street address. They'll plan the route and the customs. More detail up front means a better quote and a smoother day.
Schoten is a separate municipality from Antwerp and isn't within the Antwerp LEZ. This is an important difference from inner-city Antwerp districts. Most residential streets in Schoten have good van access. Some older residential streets are narrow. Schoten postcodes are 2900 (centre) and 2910, 2920 for surrounding areas. The E19 and E313 motorways give fast access from the Belgian motorway network. From Calais, the route via the E40 and E19 takes about 90 minutes.
Always give the full four-digit Belgian postcode and the street address in your first request. The mover uses this to confirm van size, check access and book a gemeente loading permit if needed. More detail up front means a faster, more accurate quote.
