Need Advice on Where to Live in Munich

6 years ago

Hello all. My husband and I are looking to move to Munich in the next few years. We have a scouting trip planned this November to learn more about the neighborhoods that interest us. I am looking to map out our November trip and hoping you can give me some advice on the areas that fit our needs. We will only have 8 days to explore the city, so I want to be as informed as possible before we arrive.

I've done some research and really like Bogenhausen, Pasing, and Trudering. I also reallly liked Au-Haidhausen, Schawbing, and Berg am Laim, but haven't seen as many places available to rent in those areas. It seems that Pasing and Trudering may be a bit far removed from things. We are fine with not being completely in the middle of things, but we won't have a car and will need to be in close enough proximity to supermarkets, rail lines, and such. Is that a problem in those areas?

Information about us:
* We are self employed and will not need to commute to work.
* We will not have a car, so access to public transportation is extremely important.
* We have pets and will need to have a private, fenced yard/garden.
* We can spend up to 2,500 in cold rent, but cheaper is always preferred.
* While we don't need to be downtown, we don't want to be too far from supermarkets and restaurants.
* We are in our early 30s and have no children.

Am I looking in the wrong areas? Are there areas that fit our transportation, garden, and price needs better? Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you.
