Hi, We are relocating to Munich in September. My husband's office is located at Fritz-Schaffer -Strabe 9. Where should we look for a house/apartment? My daughter is 3 yrs and I would also like to be placed near good schools.
Thanks

You can also try connecting with expats through the network, expat blogs in Munich, and Expat Community in Germany - Toytown http://www.toytowngermany.com/ . Best of luck!

Thanks for the quick response. Would you know which area we should be looking for an apt? We were thinking it shouldnt be too far from the office yet also reasonably priced.

Unfortunately I don't Munich enough to point you in a direction, but the guide should help, as well as the ToyTown site. I also tweeted your question to our followers so hopefully someone can help.

Hopefully the guide, etc. have been of use as well. Good luck!
