Living in Campinas, Americana or Limeira

My wife and I might be leaving to Brazil pretty soon. reason? Work.

My company is located near Sao Paulo. We are thinking living in any of these 3 cities: Campinas, Americana or Limeira.

What do you guys recomended? Which one is the safest and more things to offer?

About housing? How could I find something thru internet?

Any suggestions are more than welcomed.

Thanks all

Re: Living in Campinas, Americana or Limeira

I am living in a city nearby Campinas - it's about 40 minutes i guess by car, called Indaiatuba, and well it is VERY nice. I am from Seattle, and honestly i feel extremely safe in this city. i suggest you give it a look. Campinas is quite a huge city, if you prefer very big urban (well obviously not as big as Sao Paulo) but it has it all; huge shopping center, a university, lots and lots of tall apartments, fancy restaurants, etc. However it doesn't have much of a homey safe feel to it. Well you're from Detroit, i guess you know what i mean. Americana, well i haven't spent much time there, i think one night at a bar. it is quieter, much more residential than Campinas. Probably cheaper. haven't been to Limeira, but if you would really like information on it, i'm sure i could get it for you. But i would really suggest looking into Indaiatuba. It's like a Brasilian gem. The city just feels more homey, more like a community, nice restaurants, gyms, surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there is a GREAT park where you can run smile i dunno. i love it. if you would like some more information just let me know - i can get a 26 year resident of this location to give you some better advice, and maybe some help with looking into real estate.
