Hi there,

Moving from Australia to Dallas, Texas in a couple of months. We are moving with our two children aged 11 and 13. What are the best suburbs for a family ?

We live in a small town in Oz so we are looking for a similar place with a strong sense of community. Obviously, safety is also a priority so an area with a low crime rate is also very important. 

Finally, we need to be close to good public schools as we can't really afford to pay lots for private or international schooling for the girls.

Cheers.

I am renting an apartment in Vienna while attending University. Just had an inspection of the gas heater. Inspector refuses to turn it back on. He said it was too old and dangerous because it was emitting dangerous gas into the air. Also he said the heather was installed incorrectly and it was pathetic. My landlord only provided me with his email. What can I do about this situation if the landlord won't work with me or help in anyway. The apartment is FREEZING in the winter months and now I have no gas to heat water with or eventually heat this apartment with.

Hi there,

My wife got a job in Dallas, Texas and we moving across the pond from the UK in January 2014. I am a bit concerned as we are moving with our 9 year old son. What are the schooling options available to us as expats in the USA ? What are the standard of schools ?
