My family consists of 3 people - myself, wife and 2 year old son currently not enrolled in daycare. We are Americans although have experience living in Europe Sweden and are familiar with government support for families, high living costs, etc. As you can see there is alot of emphasis on easy commuting for my wife while she's at home she will eventually goto work, but for the first months settling in, getting around will be very important.
I've already read quite a bit on Luxembourg and the lifestyle, but what I don't have is an on the ground "feel" of what it's really like to get around. As a comparison, we're used to living in Vasastan in Stockholm City; living a few blocks left or right of a "good" public transport hub means huge differences in time especially in the snow season and that is reflected by the rental prices.
Each neighborhood couple of square blocks invariably has its own cafes, supermarket, post office, etc. There are no major roads that separates neighborhoods, only distance, so it's not a matter of difficulty of crossing street to e.
I know it's not a comparison, nor am I expecting Lux to be anything like Stockholm, I just want to try and get an understanding of what I and more importantly my family should expect and where some good areas to live might be - for example, I heard that Limpertsberg is nice but that it's huge so when looking at athome.
English is not one of the official languages of Luxembourg. Therefore by looking only at schooling in English will isolate your child and will mean you have less money and will mean you will be restricted in choice. Do consider this. You can check out public transport by looking at the info on the internet. I worked as a nanny in Luxembourg a couple of years ago.
