A suitable family home
We discuss bedrooms, space, budget and details such as a lift or outdoor area. The search considers daily journeys as well as the apartment, and can include temporary accommodation while longer-term options are explored.

Moving to Berlin with a family.Room for everyone.
Moving with children means planning more than an address. We help you bring the home search, school or Kita needs and everyday journeys into one practical plan, so you can make informed decisions about your family’s move.
Plan Your Family’s Move
Start with the way your family lives
A spacious apartment is only part of the picture. School routes, childcare, work journeys and the places you will use each week all shape where it makes sense to live. We look at these priorities together before narrowing the search.
School and Kita finding
We help explore options around your children’s ages, languages and educational needs. Support can include enquiries, visit coordination, application preparation and assistance with the Kita voucher process.
Your everyday Berlin
Neighbourhood orientation helps you understand transport, shops, parks and local facilities. We focus on the places and routes relevant to your family, so you can assess how an area would work in practice.
Bring the important decisions together
Understand the family’s needs
We discuss ages, languages, school or childcare priorities, work locations and the intended moving date.
Explore neighbourhoods and education
We consider suitable areas alongside school and Kita options, identifying the choices that need to be made early.
Prepare the home search
We agree the housing brief and help organise applications and viewings around your availability.
Arrange the arrival
The agreed support can include the handover, utilities, registration and practical orientation after moving in.
School and Kita availability and admission decisions rest with the institutions. We help you explore suitable options and prepare the process, while keeping expectations clear.
When the family arrives in stages
Sometimes one parent moves first, or a temporary apartment is needed before the whole family arrives. We can plan support around that sequence, with clear priorities for the initial stay and the longer-term home search.
Before we begin
Should we choose the school or the apartment first?
It is best to consider both together. A particular school may shape the areas you search in, while housing availability and budget can affect the daily route. We help you identify which decisions should come first in your circumstances.
Can you help with international and German schools?
Yes. We help explore private and state options, including international and multilingual settings, according to your children’s needs. Availability and admission requirements are checked with the relevant institutions.
Do you assist with Kita searches and the Kita voucher?
Yes. Kita finding and assistance with the Kita-Gutschein process can be included in the agreed support. We help you organise enquiries and the practical steps involved.
Can we start planning while we are still abroad?
Yes. We can discuss the family’s requirements remotely and begin preparing the housing and education searches before you arrive. Visits and appointments are then planned around your availability.
Which neighbourhood is best for a family?
That depends on your budget, school or Kita priorities, work locations and preferred way of living. We compare suitable areas using those needs rather than recommending the same district to every family.
