Montevideo is a wonderful place! You've made a great choice!
We spent part of each year in Uruguay. For ease of access to the city centre, and for schools, beach and general quality of life I recommend the district of Pocitos. Don't hesitate to send me a PM if you have any specific questions.

I am sure there must be somebody out there who you can make contact with - unfortunatly, we are Brits in Argentina. Quite a contrast from the UK to South Africa and now Uruguay! Looks like you are trying out all the continents!!!!
Good luck with your move.

All this is in stark contrast, to the large City on the other side of the Rio de la Plata.
Plus, they speak funny there.

This is probably the best place in Montevideo to be based but Punta del Este is probably the best that Uruguay has to offer. Great location with a lot of nice residential areas, when I was there it was winter and was very sedated but had a nice feel.

I find the quality of restauarants in South America to be extremely high in general, saying that Uruguay is one of the more expensive countries there for eating out. Like Argentina they have an obssession with beef.
