Reinickendorf is green, calm, and very pleasant for many families.
Forests, lakes, playgrounds, and child-friendly destinations make the borough especially easy and relaxed for daily family life.
Kita access is also a plus in Reinickendorf: the district has many centres, roughly from many dozens to well over a hundred, quality is usually good, and the chances of finding an opening feel slightly more positive in several residential areas.
