Thank you Ceresiet.

if you decide to go for Northfields International High School,
https://d3giikteahxfyn.cloudfront.net/e … hool5s.pdf
then there is a large choice of residential property in the North of the island (Pamplemousses and Rivière du Rempart Districts) some of them bordering on the exorbitantly expensive though:

One Grand Baie 6km to Northfields IHS
La Croisette apartments (Grand Baie) 8km
Le Domaine de Grand Baie - Les Résidences  9km
Soleia & Soleia II Résidences (Grand Baie) 11km
Ki Resort Villas (Perèybère area) 11km
Ki Grand Baie Résidences (Grand Baie) 12km
AO Luxury Résidences (Grand Baie) 12km
Cape Bay Beach Resort (Grand Baie) 12km
North islands view (Grand Gaube) 12km
Cap Marina by Evaco (Cap Malheureux) 12km

On the West Coast (Grande Rivière Noire District) there are just as many housing choices ranging from luxury to somewhat more affordable:

Tamarina Golf Estate & Beach Club 5km from West Coast International SS
Akasha Villas (bordering on Tamarina Golf Course) 7km
Les Vues du Rempart (Tamarin area) 11km

Les Promenades d’Helvetia - apartments from a very affordable USD 137000.  (Moka Smart City)  20km


In very close proximity (2km) to West Coast International Secondary School and worth consideration  is Uniciti Cascavelle, part of the EDB’s SCS (Smart City Scheme)  with the following residential developments close by:

Résidence Anna by La Maison Tropicale (3km)
Ocean’s Garden 2 (Flic-en-Flac) 4km
Les Villas de Cascavelle

Thank you, will look over this list now.  Are these houses to let or buy?  Thank you again.

Ceresiet

both Tasha - they are sold under the various PDS/RES/SCS schemes and then some of them become available on the rental market

Note that expats are allowed to rent residential property from any Mauritian landlord and not only in one of the PDS/RES/SCS complexes

Thank you, yes for now we wil certainly be in the rental market.  Looking at one of the other forums, it seems most houses are let furnished.  This is fine for a few months but I honestly could not see ourselves living in a house for several years this way.

Can one rent unfurnished houses?   

Many thanks  Natasha

Ceresiet

of course you can negotiate at any time with the landlord / rental agent to rent the apartment or villa Empty, but it is upto them whether they will give you any discount on the rent
