Hi, everyone! I have been made a very good offer to move to Cambridge from Prague (Czech Republic). But as I have never been there and I will have to move with my child (4 y.o.) and wife it would be great if you could share your experience and help me to make the right choice. So it seems that we should be ok financially (the annual salary expected is 80000). Considering my rule of thumb - 1/3 of net salary can be spent on apartment rent, I have a budget of 1500 pounds per month on 2-bedroom apartment. Is it possible to find a good apartment in this range? And what is also very important which Cambridge districts you could recommend for living with a child - good schools etc.? I will be working at the Cambridge science park. But not necessarily look for the apartment near it. A 30-40 commute time will be fine. Any other information would be very-very appreciated! My wife still has some doubts about the move as we've been living in a big city - more than a 1 million, and Cambridge is much smaller - about 130000. So she is afraid it will lack the good infrastructure - supermarkets, shopping centers, good public transport etc. If you have anything to add about this, also will be highly appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance and sorry for the English. It's not my native language so mistakes do occur.
