Moving to the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of the city, for a change of life or to find peace and quiet and fresh air, everyone has their own reasons. But are you still hesitating to take the plunge? atHome.lu tells you all about the advantages of living in the countryside.

The further away you are from Luxembourg City, the lower the property prices become. According to the latest statistics published by atHome.lu (based on the prices displayed in the advertisements), the average price of a house in the centre of the country is 949,896 euros, in the north the average price drops to 483,587 euros.
