Question 01
Are you looking for a large expat community around you?
Be honest — there's no wrong answer. Some families thrive surrounded by fellow expats. Others want full Spanish immersion.
A
Yes — I want to be surrounded by expats
I want English speaking neighbours, international community, familiar faces from home
B
A mix — some expats, some Spanish
I want to integrate but also have an international community nearby
C
No — I want authentic Spanish community
Full immersion. I want my neighbours to be Spanish and my children to grow up truly bilingual
Question 02
How long are you planning to stay in Spain?
Your timeline affects which area makes most sense for your lifestyle.
A
1-2 years — testing the waters
We want to try the lifestyle before committing long term
B
3-5 years — a serious chapter
Long enough to put down roots but keeping options open
C
Forever — this is our home now
We are committing completely. Spain is where we are raising our family and building our life
Question 03
Do you have children or are you planning to?
Families with children have very different neighbourhood priorities than couples or individuals.
A
Yes — young children (under 10)
School choice, safe streets, parks, and neighbourhood friendships are priority
B
Yes — teenagers
Social life, activities, international school curriculum continuity matters most
C
No children
Just us — lifestyle, community, and quality of life are the priority
Question 04
What is your monthly housing budget?
Be realistic — this shapes everything. All areas are good value compared to northern Europe.
A
Under €1,000/month
Maximum value — looking for the most affordable quality areas
B
€1,000 — €1,800/month
Comfortable budget — good options across most areas
C
€1,800+ /month
Premium options — luxury properties and prestigious areas available
Question 05
Beach lifestyle or inland peace?
Both are extraordinary in Málaga. Which calls to you?
A
🌊 The sea on my doorstep
Morning beach walks, chiringuitos, sea breeze, coastal lifestyle — non negotiable
B
🏔️ Space, nature and mountain views
Larger property, more garden, cooler summers, traditional village life
C
Both — I want easy access to sea AND nature
20-30 minutes from beach but with more space and tranquility day to day
Question 06
How important is walkability to you?
Some families love being able to walk everywhere. Others are happy driving for space and value.
A
Very important — I want to walk everywhere
Restaurants, shops, school, beach — all within walking distance
B
Somewhat — a car is fine for some things
Happy to drive for weekly shops but want daily life walkable
C
Not important — I have a car and I'm happy to drive
Space and value matter more than walkability
Question 07
How important is nightlife and activity to you?
No judgement — some people want buzzing restaurants on the doorstep. Others want peace and quiet.
A
Very — I love restaurants, bars and events
I want to be where things are happening. Buzzing atmosphere is important to me
B
Moderate — I like options but don't need it on my doorstep
Happy for a quiet neighbourhood but want to be 15-20 minutes from activity
C
Not important — peace and quiet please
I moved to Spain to slow down. I want calm, nature, and a simple beautiful life
Question 08
How important is it that your children learn Spanish?
This genuinely affects which neighbourhood and school type will work best for your family.
A
Essential — full Spanish immersion is the goal
I want my children speaking fluent Spanish — Spanish school and Spanish neighbourhood
B
Important but bilingual works too
I want them learning Spanish but an international bilingual school is fine
C
English curriculum is the priority
My children need to continue an English curriculum for future university plans
Question 09
Do you need easy airport access?
Some families travel frequently for work. Others come and stay put. This matters more than people realise.
A
Yes — I travel frequently for work
Being within 20-30 minutes of Málaga airport is genuinely important
B
Occasionally — a few times a year
Airport access matters but doesn't need to be immediate
C
Rarely — I'm here to stay put
Airport distance is not a priority for my lifestyle
Question 10
What matters most to your family?
If you could only pick one thing — what would define your perfect life in Málaga?
A
💰 Maximum value for money
I want the most space, best quality, lowest price possible
B
🇪🇸 Deep integration into Spanish life
I want to truly become part of Spain — not just live here
C
👨👩👧 A strong welcoming family community
I want to find my people quickly — families like ours nearby

✨ Luxury lifestyle and prestige
I want the best — beautiful surroundings, excellent services, prestigious address
