Moving to Makati with Children

13 years ago
Hi,
Just found this website. Looking for lots of info, will start with basics for now.
We will be living in Makati with our 3 children. Work is in Makati, school is in Paranaque (German/French School)

1/ How long of a commute would this be for the children's school? I was told to take the HWY not the streets for quicker access.
2/ Housing budget is about $3000 month, any suggestions of places to live on this within Makati?
3/ IS there much green space- parks? My children like to ride their bikes... is there any chance of this?
4/ I am looking for decent names of parts of Makati/ buildings that I can check out on line for living.
5/ I take everything with a grain of salt and have lived overseas before. Just wondering about the security of Manila overall. Do we tend to just stay in our neighbourhood and the school run?
6/ Does anyone have reviews of the German French School?

Many more questions to follow. Just all for now. Thanks in advance- looking forward to your replies (I hope!).
