Cessange, a developing neighborhood

The Cessange Neighborhood in Luxembourg

Cessange, one of the 24 neighborhoods of Luxembourg City, is a rapidly developing area. Located south of the capital, it is characterized by its young, family-oriented population.

The neighborhood is now an ideal location for real estate investment thanks to its proximity to major highways and the new Cloche d’Or economic hub.

Cessange: Where City Meets Nature

Located southwest of the capital city of Luxembourg, the Cessange neighborhood is ideally situated between the city and nature. Formerly an agricultural area, it borders the neighborhoods of Merl, Hollerich, and Gasperich.

Due to its geographic location, the Cessange neighborhood is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Croix de Cessange highway interchange.

This makes it very easy to quickly access the highways leading to Belgium,France, and Germany. In addition, the area is served by two bus lines to Luxembourg City via the Route d’Esch.

The Cessange neighborhood hosts the Postlaf an der Stad race in March. The streets are closed to traffic for the event.

The neighborhood has an elementary school. The buildings are located on Rue Verte for Cycle 1 and on Rue de Cessange for Cycles 2 through 4.

Three after-school care centers are available on Rue Verte, Rue de Cessange, and Rue Saint Joseph. Contact the City of Luxembourg for information on enrolling your children.

Several playgrounds provide recreational spaces for neighborhood children. The large Cessange Park offers additional space for outdoor activities and relaxing family afternoons.

Sports facilities are also available to neighborhood residents. A soccer field, a beach volleyball court, a multipurpose sports hall, and two gymnasiums provide excellent sports infrastructure. The Boy Konen Stadium and its Bike Park are also used for sporting events organized by the City of Luxembourg.

The Cessange neighborhood also has a cultural center.

Following the Cloche d’Or project, the neighborhood will also benefit from the expansion of the tram lines. A true “inner ring road” is set to be completed by 2040.

Residents would like to see more shops and restaurants in the area. Plans are in the works for a supermarket in the lower part of the neighborhood.

The already beautifully landscaped Cessange Park is set to be further expanded in its upper, older section.

The Cessange neighborhood hosts the Elsy Jacobs Festival and its Luxembourgish and international female cyclists in May.

Real Estate Projects in the Cessange Neighborhood

Cessange is benefiting from the expansion of the neighboring Gasperich and Cloche d’Or neighborhoods. Long considered out of the way, it is now highly attractive. Until recently still underdeveloped, it now features numerous residential complexes, and new projects are currently under development.

The Cessange neighborhood is currently undergoing rapid real estate development. In addition to the many buildings that have been completed very recently or are currently under construction, new Special Development Plans have been approved.

The “Rue Verte” development project is currently under construction. When completed, it will offer nearly 200 residential units, 1,600 m² of office space, and 800 m² of retail space.

The Guddebierg project, meanwhile, will involve the construction of more than 400 new housing units.

The latest project, Im Grundchen, will involve the construction of new homes ready to accommodate some 250 additional residents.
