Whether you are looking for an apartment or a house, here are some areas that are popular with expats in the Grand Duchy.
Strassen is more expensive, but even calmer area, lined by forest. (Again, some parts have heavy traffic.) People here enjoy a lot of sports facilities.
If you decide to work in the capital but to live outside, be sure to check that there are buses or other transport connections.
Terms (French - German):
rent: loyer - vermietung
buy: acheter - kaufen
estate agent: immobilier - makler
lease: bail - mietvertrag
deposit: caution - kaution
mortgage: hypothèque - hypothek
commute: commuter - pendeln

It's great that you have expanded your site to cover Luxembourg. However, this article is very incomplete and in some ways, based on wrong information.
1. Howald and Strassen are not "districts within Luxemburg City". They are neighbouring communes.
2. Several parts of both Strassen and Howald suffer heavy traffic and busy national roads.
3. Belair, being closer to the city centre and having more upmarket buildings, is more expensive than Merl.
4. If by "nightlife" you mean prostitution, then yes, Gare is where to be. However, most bars and clubs are in the Centre and Clausen areas and in Hollerich.
5. By "lastly there is the Gare" you make it sound like you've just described all the areas in Luxembourg CIty. Last time I counted, there were 26 areas in Luxembourg City and Howald and Strassen are not among them.
Again, thanks again for taking an interest in expat life in Luxembourg, but it would be great to see better research and less misleading info.
