I am not Irish but I hope someone will be kind enough to help.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some opinions on a move to Antwerp. We are a family with a toddler, and are currently living in Tervuren - but would like to move to Antwerp, it's a bit quiet for us here, and we would like to live in a city again. So I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with.

Is Antwerp a nice place, is there lots to do we are in our late 20's?

What are good areas to live in and where should we avoid - we would prefer to be in the centre - in a town house type of property?

Are there many expats - is it easy to make friends?

Any opinions on the Lycee as a school?

Many thanks for any replies, any advice is appreciated.
