Buying a home in Kopstukken, Mussel.
Kopstukken is one of those neighborhoods where you'll find families who've put down real roots—solid brick homes from the 1980s and 90s on quiet streets, not flashy but built to last. The big draw is how walkable it is: the supermarket and primary school are a few minutes on foot, and you're never far from the countryside. It's a neighborhood that feels settled rather than trendy, which suits people who want neighbors they actually know and a place where kids can play outside without much worry.
