Red flags — the hard truths

The E411/A6 slows every morning between Sterpenich and Gasperich — predictable, but budget for it.
Cross-border demand pushes prices faster than local wages: growing market tension.

Local political lean

Belgian Luxembourg province: Les Engagés / MR balance, local coalition majorities, moderate voting.

Nature & biodiversity

The Gaume and Anlier forest rank among Belgium's richest habitats: orchids, black storks, pearl-mussel rivers.
