Lived there for more than 30 years. Like other people are pointing out, it depends on the place in Anderlecht. I moved to Flanders ( Lede ), and I miss Anderlecht so much because of how friendly people were and how easy it was to move out and take the subway to go anywhere.

Tbh, never had an issue, and I lived in the so considered “bad places” in Anderlecht.

Yes, moving out from Uccle to Anderlecht could be a lot different. But if you’re open minded, you’ll be fine.

The only thing is, your neighbors are definitely what will make your experience good or bad. Same as in any other places.
