Hi!
We are moving to Rome in the summer with our two young children. We have lived in Italy before, in Pisa, for 2.5 years with both our children and know Rome quite well, but have never actually lived there.
We are looking for advice on good areas to live in with the children. We really like Celio and Trastevere but would like opinions and further advice on whether these are really areas we should look into.
We'd also like to have some expat contact. We both speak Italian but having travelled around a lot we've both learnt to appreciate how nice it is to have some contact with fellow "stranieri"! Where would most expats live near the centre of Rome?
Our budget is €2000/month and we'd like to get a 3 bedroom apartment (around 130mq).
We would prefer not to drive so would like to be as close to the centre as possible. We love Trieste/Africano but it's a bit far out and, until the metro is in place, not that well connected with public transport.
Our children are 6.5 and 3.5 years of age so will need to be enrolled in both Scuola Elementare and Materna. We're aware that we've missed the cut off dates for enrolment but want to get as much feedback as possible on areas before contacting the municipio to get more information on late iscrizioni!
Any advice, recommendations etc would be hugely appreciated!
Hope to hear back soon!
