Coloma

Coloma is situated to the south of the station. The current district was originally very rural. Then workers’ dwellings were erected at the end of the 19th century. The population grew sharply in the 1920s when social housing units were built on the Tervuursesteenweg, Matigheidstraat, Eenheidstraat and Voorzorgstraat. This neighbourhood has been attracting families for years thanks to the easy accessibility but above all the schools, municipal swimming pool and many sports facilities. It is consequently home to many families because of its lively character.
