Moenchengladbach or Dusseldorf

17 years ago
Hi Everyone !

I need some advice. I am about to move to Germany from France.

My work is located in Moenchengladbach (30 km from Dusseldorf). I really feel no charm of living in Moenchengladbach city so plan to live in Dusseldorf. As I do not drive now, I plan to stay near the hauptbahnof (train station) in Dusseldorf and travel to Moenchengladbach everyday by 30 min train + busride. In the meantime I plan to take driving classes and get my license converted.

Now the housing allowance my company is giving me is only for Moenchengladbach and is abysmal by Dusseldorf standards. I plan to top it up and take up a good apartment in Dusseldorf .

Could anyone advice me how is the cost of living in Dusseldorf compared to Moenchengladbach ? Also any other factors I should be considering while making my move ?

Thanks a million !

Vikram
