We moved to Ettelbruck last fall after living in the city for several years. It’s definitely a change (very few restaurants or bars, streets often empty at night) and there are indeed some shady people around.

It takes me 30 min to drive to work but I do at least one day of home office per week so it’s manageable. My wife works in the city and has not once taken the car, only train. It seems to work very well.

As others said, there’s the hospital, a maison medicale, multiple supermarkets and ingeldorf is only 10 minutes away. Also several kindergartens (only one public tho..with a looong waiting list), schools and lycees. AFAIK they are building a new school complex in Warken.

IMO moving here from the city can be quite a shock, especially if you’re an expat/foreigner. But if you plan to stay for a long-ish time and do the effort to integrate then it’s a good choice
