this must have been discussed here before… but since I am kind of a hurry (first apartment tour arranged already this saturday), please excuse me for asking something that I maybe could find if I had the time…
I am moving to Taiwan with my wife and 4 month old baby. I will be working in Taoyuan, but after living in Shanghai it has become clear that the main priority when choosing where to live, is to accomodate the happiness of my wife and baby - and their needs (if they are happy - I am happy . So where is the most comfortable place to live with a baby for a newcommer family?
Comfortable being (in our book):
- ability for my wife to get out & around with a stroller without a car
- easy access to good shops, parks, restaurants, international hospital, gym (or easy access to MRT)
- local daycare options, or expat playgroups
- nice environment (renovated buildings, parks, “clean” air)
- high rise buildings, or area with an ‘open feel’ and a nice view
I would like some input from people who have “been there, tried that” so I can steer the agent in the right direction(s)
we are looking for a top notch 3br apartment, price is really not a big question, but would prefer <100k/month
thanks for helping a guy trying to create a good life for his wife, whom he dragged half-way around the world to follow him in his working adventures…
