| Help finding the right place to live
So I'm t-minus-1 week away and I'm no closer knowing where the heck I'm going to live than I was 6 months ago. I've been round in circles thinking a specific town is right for me then someone comes along and says "I wouldn't want to live there" - AHHHH So I was wondering what is the best strategy - chose one area and stick to it, or go hell for leather and just look at all the towns and get an apartment wherever I can? My criteria is fairly simple. I have two kids (14months & 4yrs ) + the mrs. We're outdoor people and like being outdoors so our criteria is :- Nice town with some parks / outdoor space / play areas
- Good expat community (We're English)
- Good with Kids for Kindergarten / day nursery
- Good supermarkets
- <40 mins from Zurich by train
- Doesn't have to be near the lake
- Looking for a 4.5 room apartment (100sqm)
- Rent circa 2500 PCM
So far these are the towns I'd short listed in order of preference (for today anyway) 1) Wadenswil - Supposed to have it all - good expat community and great with Kids. Not to expensive either 2) Adliswil - told Sunsets there early but good expat community and great with Kids. Not to expensive either 3) Horgen - 4) Pfaffikin SZ ( Lower taxes so might be worth the extra train journey) 5) Uster Any pearls of wisdom you can offer me would be great!!!
