On Friday, we examined what kinds of properties €500,000 can get you in both the capital and to the south of the country.
In the first part of this comparison, we used the benchmark price of between €400,000 and €500,000 to examine the Grand Duchy's property market. Presuming you've read the first part of this series (if not, there's a cheeky link at the bottom), you know the drill. We start on a Game of Thrones opening credits-esque journey from King's Landing ie Luxembourg City through to the other areas of the country.
In the first part, we travelled south. In this segment, we will travel both slightly north and west of the city.
Luxembourg City, station neighbourhood - €440,000

So from the outset, I'm not getting an amazing impression here. It strikes me as a tiny bit suspicious when a property advert starts with an image of the bathroom and a blurry one at that. But then, maybe it might be one of those flats which shines far better than its photographs? Maybe?
Anyway, it's a one bedroom at 40 square metres.
Bridel - €450,000

Another one-bedroom flat, this time in Bridel. Slightly more expensive than the first, it does seem to have more space as well as a balcony and a nice view of the woods. The flat is also a bit bigger at 55 square metres.
Kehlen - €462,286

Moving on to Kehlen, our next property is again more expensive than the previous one. This one bed penthouse may not exist yet, but will have a nice terrace and is 62 square metres. This is also the first new-build property on our list.
Koerich €465,000

But for less than €3,000 more, you could have a two-bedroom flat in Koerich, closer to the Belgian border. Based on the photos, I can't say much about this 90 square-metre property, being that we only see the kitchen. A big fridge, I guess?
The flat is one of four in an early 20th century property renovated into separate apartments. The flat is also comprised of two floors, so certainly seems spacious.
Goeblange - €499,000

This next property sees a jump in its price, but the two-bedroom apartment is spread out over two floors in a detached property in Goeblange. Again, this looks like an older conversion, but the 90 square-metre property also has a balcony. Who doesn't love balconies?
Hobscheid - €465,000

Venturing further north and close to the border, you will find this two-bedroom apartment. The apartment appears to have a lot of storage space, a fire, and a small balcony, and seems to be rather bright on the whole. The flat has a surface are of 98 square metres and a rather big kitchen as well.
Lintgen - €468,000

Returning inland, we have this one-bedroom flat in Lintgen. Again, this apartment has a balcony (are you sensing a theme here?) and a parking spot. Whilst not as spacious as the above flats with a surface area of 75 square metres, this could be due to the old-fashioned flat's proximity to the Nordstroos motorway.
Saeul - €465,000

This Saeul duplex boasts two bedrooms, some very colourful rooms, a balcony, and a lovely view of the countryside. The apartment's surface area is 92 square metres.
Rollingen - €470,000

Finally, we have this two-bedroom house in Rollingen, Mersch with a surface area of 110 square metres. The advert mainly focuses on the house's links, especially to the station, rather than featuring images of its interior. That said, it does apparently have a veranda and a garden looking out onto the park.
So our venture westwards and northwards did not show quite as many new properties, but also not as much space in terms of bedroom as some of the properties to the south. Granted, this article did cover as much ground as the previous one, but all the same, seems to be characterised by older developments and renovations. Tune in soon for part three!
