Which Bucharest area to live?

2/13/2017 16:27 EST

Hello All,
My wife, son (4 year old) will be moving to Bucharest in about two months. We are from the UK.
We are planning for our son to start the reception class at the British School of Bucharest in the Pipera area.
I work through the day and my wife drives.
Just wondering if anyone can give us some advice i.e. is Pipera the right area for us or should we look to another area or even another school?
Many thanks in advance.

The best area in Bucharest is Primaverii.
If you are interested, I can give you more details about location, school, shopping and others in that area.

You can seee Pipera area (next to Voluntari) on the map. It is at 30 minutes drive to the center of Bucharest. Unlike USA, and I assume some other western countries, the center of Bucharest is beautiful and wonderful to live in. The closer to it the nicer the areas. However any other "cartier" is ok. My advise: rent initially in Pipera and after a few months, in which you can search the city all over, you can decide where you really want to live. Primaverii is gorgeous but for the very rich.
