Sint-Genesius-Rode (Dutch: [sɪnt xeːˌneːzijʏs ˈroːdə] ^ⓘ;^[2] French: Rhode-Saint-Genèse, pronounced [ʁɔd sɛ̃ ʒənɛːz] ^ⓘ) is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in the Flemish region of Belgium. The municipality only comprises the town of Sint-Genesius-Rode proper, and lies between Brussels and Waterloo in Wallonia. On January 1, 2008, Sint-Genesius-Rode had a total population of 18,021. The total area is 22.77 km² (8.79 sq mi), which gives a population density of 791/km² (2,050/sq mi). It directly borders the Brussels-Capital Region and is essentially a suburb of the city, contiguous with the Prince d'Orange neighbourhood (Uccle), and was a component of the short-lived Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery. While the Brussels-Capital Region does not have a direct border with Wallonia, the shortest 'buffer' with Flemish Brabant is within Sint-Genesius-Rode municipality, with around 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) separating Prince d'Orange and Waterloo along the N5 road.
