Thinking of moving to Nossegem/Erps Kwerps area

[Zonpintje]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me some input about these areas. DH will be commuting to Antwerp (where we currently reside). We've only been in Belgium for just over a year and are still trying to 'find out place'. We like the thought of having easy access to french although we'd keep our kids in a flemish school. We have 3 DS ages 11, 10 and 6 who are also in need of connecting with other english speaking children. I've been driving through those areas and they seem to be nice mix of urban and country-side. Are those areas quite active and are there expats there? Cheers!

Google Map

We normally walk/cycle from Nossegem along the Weynboslaan from the Cemetery. Looking at the map - it apears that the closest bit of road is Zeven Tommen in Zaventem. It appears there is a bridge over the railway line and pathway in front of the landing lights/perimeter fence - not sure how far up there you can drive. The walk tends to be a big hit with visitors. Though you can't always guarantee that runway will be in use.

If you want to come visit one Sunday for coffee and a stroll to look at planes I am happy to run a guided tour All welcome.

Putrifyno, we should do this. We used to do this years ago but have never done it with Elena. Mmmmm, the lovely (?!) smell of aviation fuel - I remember it well.

There you go Zonpintje, - a MN meeting in the making!

Ladies! ;) Thank you so much for having spent time on answering all my tedious thoughts and questions and for all this fantastic extra info! I definitely will be off to a good knowledgeable start ;)

Let's hope on nice winter weather if another meetup will be scheduled.

cheers!!

by the way, that house DOES sound pretty great!! Hope something like that will be around after the xmas period! ;)
