House Hunters International Season 70 Episode 12 Growing Pains in Rotterdam

Sarah and Tom are a young family that's been living in the UK for several years, but they're ready for a change of scenery and are excited to relocate to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. While they're eager to start this new chapter in their lives, they're also a bit nervous about finding the perfect home for their growing family.

In this episode of House Hunters International, Sarah and Tom work with a local real estate agent, Mieke, to explore their options in Rotterdam. They're looking for a home that's spacious enough for their family of four, with plenty of room for their two young children to play both inside and outside. They're also hoping to find a place that's close to parks and playgrounds, as well as good schools.

Their first stop is a modern apartment in the city center. While the location is perfect for their urban lifestyle, the apartment is quite small and doesn't have a lot of outdoor space. They all agree that it won't work for their family, but Sarah and Tom are still impressed with the sleek design and modern amenities.

Next, they check out a beautiful three-bedroom house in a residential neighborhood. The house has a large garden and plenty of space for their kids to play, but Sarah and Tom are a bit concerned about the upkeep of the garden and the maintenance of the house. They also worry about the distance from the city center and the potential for a longer commute.

Mieke then takes them to a spacious four-bedroom house in a more suburban area. The house is located in a family-friendly neighborhood, with lots of parks and green spaces nearby. The large garden is perfect for their children to run around in, and the house has a lot of potential for customization to fit their needs. However, the house isn't in the best shape and will require some renovations before they can move in.

Finally, Mieke shows them a unique property that's actually located in an old church. The converted space is incredibly charming and has lots of character, but Sarah and Tom are a bit hesitant about the open floor plan and the lack of walls between some of the rooms. They do love the idea of living in such a unique space, though.

Throughout the episode, Sarah and Tom weigh their options carefully and consider what's best for their family. They're obviously excited about the move and eager to start this new chapter in their lives, but they're also aware of the challenges that come with relocating to a new country. Ultimately, they make a decision that they feel is best for their family and leave the episode feeling excited for their new life in Rotterdam.
