Hello
Calling any Belgian/Antwerp MNers out there? My DH has been offered a permanent job in Antwerp. We have 2 DC, preschool age and toddler.
What do you think/things to be aware of? We would like it to be a long-term settling down kind of move, hopefully, as we have been living and working in different parts of the world for the past few years.
A goal for us would be to buy a house within a few years - how accessible/value for money is the housing market?
The children would be going to local crèche/preschools rather than international schools - where do I even begin? How would I help them to adjust to a new language?
What is life like for young families in Antwerp and Belgium generally? Quality of life for a young family looking to put down roots somewhere?
For my work field there would be a lot more jobs in Brussels. Is the idea of commuting to Brussels bonkers or something regularly done?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!
