Moving to Istanbul

Greetings! My family and I are possibly moving to Istanbul this summer. We are American and have lived as expatriates in many places, so the adventure of being an expat is not new to us. Although there is abundant information on living in Istanbul, my questions are more specific.

I'm thinking about IICS for my four school-aged kids, looking for a house in Arkent 2000, and working in Besiktas (near the 0-2/E-80). I'm more worried about my commute. Is this all possible?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

These are for you:

1)http://alkent2000.com.tr/en_index.html
You can find everything about Alkent 2000.

I understand that you will work at Be?ikta? and you will live in Alkent 2000,if 44 km road is not a problem for you both places are good.Also may be you can stuck in traffic sometimes.Your journey from home to work may take 75-80 minutes instead of 50 minutes(Sometimes)....Note:Alkent 2000 is not in the centre of ?stanbul but it has high life quality.

2)http://www.iics-k12.net/
(Istanbul International Community School)

This is the school exactly you're looking for.It is 9 km from Alkent 2000.It is ideal for foreign people especially speaking english.

I hope this message will help you.If you have any other questions you can send me an email.
Good luck.
