I lived as child in Unterbach and now in Erkrath! The east side of Düsseldorf is very beautiful a lot of nature and a bit mountaineering!

Team Gerresheim here: when I was studying German, I lived for a month there. Actually, other than school or home I am probably only familiar with the activity zone or Medienhafen.

I was born in Düsseldorf and raised in Lohausen.
I can say Lohausen is like a small village in a big city.
Everyone knows each other, we have bakery’s, supermarkets, a primary school, two kindergartens, a park where you can go for a walk with your dog or your family.
The Rhine is also nearby and between Lohausen and Kaiserwerth is the ISD „International School of Düsseldorf“.

Important note:
We welcome everyone here in Lohausen but the north of Duesseldorf is conservative so to make friends and connect with the locals it is very important to integrate yourself.

Attend public celebrations in the neighborhood and don't just live parallel to the locals. Otherwise, it could happen that you live very isolated.

You have no idea how timely your video is!! I am in active apartment hunt right now, and I was struggling to figure out which neighborhood I should focus on. Thank you so much for all you do!

You depiction of Düsseldorf is spot on with my experience. It is a very lively place with a very good work/life balance, friendly people and it has a great economy.
Soon you will also find plenty of parking when Cologne gets demolished and turned into a parking lot for guests to visit Düsseldorf #April1st

Congratulations for this amazing place to live in!
I grew up in the southern end of Duisburg and what I loved the most, take the bicycle or motorbike in the Summer and meet up with friends in the most romantic and historic Kaiserswerth.
Playing frisbee on the Rhein meadows or having picknicks, barbecue and ending the evening at the Burghof, with candlelight, overlooking the Rhine, watching the ships go by ... walking though these medival alleys ... brings back so many beautiful memories.😍
Going into the city by U79, car goes in a flash, so you now have the best of both worlds and the airport is just next door, but not in the flight path, so no noise ... perfect location.
I live in Munich now since almost 25 years and whenever I considered possibly going back to be closer to the family, I had Kaiserswerth on my mind. ❤

Thank you for the video 😊, I moved from bilk to mörsenbroich and have been loving it. Its definitely quieter and very relaxed.

I'd like to point outn that Dusseltal, despite being in the second district, also has a vibe of a calm family residential area. It's 10-15 minutes to the Heinrich-Heine U Bahn station, so close to the 'fun zone' but still calm and not too loud. Grafenberg is 20-30min by walk, which leaves nature relatively close to it, + the zoo park is great.

The Golzheim-Pempelfort area is the best to live: interesting mix of old and new architecture, a lot of cultural hot spots (Museum Kunstpalast, Ehrenhof, Tonhalle for example), nice people as neighbors, close to the Rhine and the big central parks (Hofgarten, Rheinpark Golzheim), located around Nordstraße for daily fresh food supply etc., a lot of restaurants, perfectly connected to public traffic and the airport, good schools.

What a beautiful city. Thank you for sharing some information on this wonderful area.😊❤

Near Nature are Urdenbach & Unterbach. In Unterbach you have the Lake and Urdenbach has the Rheinaue wich is Part of the Neanderland Hiking Trail.

Glad you mentioned Benrath with the pink castle (You can guess the reason ;-) Hellerhof I still remeber being a flat piece of mud until they started building it. Garath in my youth was devided in the "good part" and the "bad part" because the highway and train line basically splits it into two parts.
For the most family friendly town I would recommend Monheim, which is the self-proclaimd captial of the most children friendly town in Germany. It's in the "Speckgürtel" of Düsseldorf, an own town with city rights just touching the southern districts of Düsseldorf with a population below 50k (Disclaimer: I was raised there)

Wonderful video and very well presented points! On the one hand, I'm glad to be living fairly close to action-packed areas, like I can hear whenever things are happening, but then it's also everything you described in the sequence "Where Would We Not Live and Why". I'll be sure to move elsewhere once I settle formalities with my new employer. 🙂 Long awaited insights from you. It's a piece of content to retain, but to also come back to many times within the quest! 🥰

Kaiserswerth is really nice. I don’t go there often enough, despite not living too far (Derendorf).

[Cintillo]

Funnily enough, Düsseldorf was in the conversation yesterday when discussing possible moving places. So this video comes in a good moment. Excellent points as always ♥

[josephonyango]

Your Videos are Always helpfull, , , , i have watched alot of them and now i have a Life History of Germany, , , , AS i plan to relocate in Germany.

[marinaKdiscovers]

Really nice video ! Helpful as well. So funny that you and one of my other favourite youtuber from Dusseldorf used to live in Untebilk as well !

[owaishaider]

Much needed video. Flying to Düsseldorf soon. Will watch it for sure

[daichi]

I agree !! I live in the Stadtmitte since long ago but I have never run into you guys :)

[ms_anoka]

Really useful video, thank you 🙏☺ My husband and I are planning on finding a job in Düsseldorf and moving there one day, so this information helps to understand where to settle!

[saniyajafri]

You guys are amazing! Loved this video, wish you'd recorded this before I'd moved to Düsseldorf and couldn't figure out what-was-what on Immoscout, haha!

An unrequited idea off the top of my head (since this was such help) - maybe a collab with content creators in other cities to cover similar basics for the others too.

Cheers 🎉
