The building we live in was built from the French for the officers and their families during the occupation time of Berlin. The north of Berlin was occupied by the French. Our neighbourhood is a beautiful green area, where your children can play outside safely. There is a sea (Flughafensee) in 10 minutes walking distance and a wood. The Tegeler See with boats and a nice promenade is 3 underground stations away. Distance from home to next underground station is 8 minutes by foot. 20 minutes to city center east (Alexanderplatz) or 30 minutes to city center west (Kurfuerstendamm). We have friendly and helpful neighbours, families as well as flat shares of all ages and nationalities. The access to the goverment airport is part of our neighbourhood.
