Hi & welcome


it's a huge area!

many/most areas, especially near the coast have young families (do you mean British families?)

have you been to the area?

where did you like?

I went there about 3 years ago to visit some friends. Its basically a big housing estate on a hill!! quite a few really nice villas, altho a bit piled on top of each other! Mainly British, with a few german and norwegian families! Nice enough, but it depends what you're looking for

Hi
Myself and family are moving to Marbella for me to start a job on 1st sept . We are moving with a few to staying untill the kids finish school.
Initially We were thinking that the best option would be to come over to a holiday apartment for the last few weeks in August and look for a long term rental from 1st September onwards.
I would like to look long term for a place with a more established community that are full time residents and was wondering what the best areas would be .
I have 2 teenagers with me and it would help to be in an area that had other families.
Anyone any ideas of good areas to look.It does not have to be in Marbella but within commuting distance.
