Living near MXP

[eagle21]

I would like some advice from crews based at Milan Malpensa, as to which city to choose to live in. Gallarate, Busto???


Any help would be appreciated

I used to fly for Air Europe and lived in a small village just outside Gallarate. The name is Cajello di Gallarate.
As much as I hated Gallarate itself, Cajello was a good compromise as it was quiet, a nice neighbourhood, and all that I needed was there including a doctor, dentist, newsagent, bakery, huge GS supermarket just round the corner. It was also much kinder to the eye!!! It would also take about 15-20mins to the report centre at MXP and other crew from different airlines were living there too.
Rents were also cheaper. I rented a lovely mansarda just above the bakery and loved every minute of my stay there. It did feel like home in a part of the world that I never really liked.
Just my experience!!

Has no one else sent any info of note about MXP? I'd like to move there too with my family. Where to live - Milan, by the lakes or near the airport? What about the cost of living, ax etc?
