Expert Info
on 20 May 2011
My husband and I are moving with our little girl (age 8) to Amsterdam this September. My husband's employer has offered to fly us over so we can acquaint ourselves with the city and start to look for housing. Can anyone indicate which neighborhoods of Amsterdam are the best for families looking for a easy-going lifestyle outside the helter-skelter of the city? Green space is a big plus, as is pedestrian-friendly streets and public space.

Moving Internationally?

Lots of families live here, so the vibe is peaceful. Costs can be high though, so again, make sure you can afford it before signing a lease or appeal to your employer for some sort of accommodation allowance.
