A lot of families choose to live to Bernau bei Berlin because the housing is way cheaper than Berlin, and several families tend to buy houses there, especially in Schönow.

If you are a family and considering Schönow to live and wondering if it’s good or not, then here are our thoughts.

• Bernau bei Berlin has mostly German-speaking population, so it’s not very common to find expats living there compared to Berlin.
• The area is very nice, relaxed and green, and you feel like living in nature so it’s a great choice for those looking for such vibes.
• Housing there is still affordable compared to Berlin, so you can potentially afford renting a good flat or buying a house.
• Schönow in particular is very family friendly.
• The Kitas are also very good. But keep in mind that Kitas outside Berlin tend to have salary-based tuition, so you might end up paying 300 EUR/month to 400 EUR/month depending on your income.
