Relocating to Port Elizabeth

I have just accepted an offer for permanent employment in PE. I will be moving up next week with my wife & 2 sons (aged 3 & 8).

I have found a house to lease in Christopher Ave, Charlo. Anyone here know how this area is? My kid will be going to Charlo Primary School. Should I be looking at renting in other areas? My office will be in Greenacres.

Welcome to the friendly laid back city! Just a warning windy season starts in a couple of months :P

Charlo a very good area, traffic of 25min is not bad that side of town. It will be a good idea to rent at first and look around as all the different areas have different vibes to them. For instance coming form inland you might decide in a couple of months that you might want a place closer to the beach ;)

I know that my exchange in Summerstrand also supports 10/12mb if that is something thats important to you.

PS. If you looking for internet stay very far away from a certain unscrupulous wireless operater we have here called Aerosat ;)

Think me and the other locals will come up with some more recommendations for you and feel free to ask if you need advice.

Thanx, I had a look on Google Maps. It doesn't look too bad.

As Beetman says, rent first and then take some time to look around! I'm in Glendinningvale, just below Greenacres.

Placement of schools is a CRITICAL factor.

What part of PE is considered good ? And Port Alfred ? Remember I still have an empty stand there that I am trying to flog.
