Hello all. My name is Vance Hill. I currently reside in beautiful Kirkland, WA. A suburb of Seattle. I have 2 young boys and I want nothing more than for them to play and train soccer in Italy. The good thing is, my wife can transfer to her Milan office. We are planning on moving in 2 years. Any advice on areas to avoid? I know living in central Milan would be like living in New York so we are open to the surrounding areas of Milan. Should we expect to buy a car? Should I teach English? So many questions but still plenty of time. Thanks so much!
Planning to move to Milan

Hello Vance!
First things first, in Europe there is no such thing as soccer... here it is Football! 
Milan is the most international city in Italy.
Until you are familiar with the city and its different areas, avoid anything east 9f the centre.
Best residential areas are west, near the stadium and the racecourse is quite a prestigious area with luxury apartments too.
Further west is another residential area known as Uruguay/Bonola. A little less exclusive but one of the prettiest areas in my opinion. It is quiet yet served by all public transport to the centre, easy access to highway and with shopping centres.
Cheers!
I will cheer for your boys hoping they will get Inter players
