Advice, Info on moving to Alkent 2000 Buyukcekmece & using IICS school

I am British national currently in planning phase to relocate my family to Istanbul, with basic idea to relocate for 2-3 years, as part of work project, from early Y2010. Family includes my wife & I (in early 30s) with 2 young children (under 5) the oldest of which is due to start school August 2010.

Based on advice I am getting so far best location for me would be Alkent 2000, Buyukcekmece using IICS school. However since I cannot find any details of the local area/facilities on internet (other than real estate websites) I would be interested to know opinions/views from other expats who are living there or have experienced the area.

So far I am told 40-50 families in the area?

Any sort of info on pros/cons, dos/donts, average rent costs for 3-4 bedroom family house, commune fees, opportunity to meet other expats in the area or other then please let me know.

Thanks in Advance
