There are several sports clubs and a golf course with stunning views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for those who seek a bit more excitement, there are nightclubs, bars, and plenty of excellent restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are remote workers or digital nomads, the internet connection is fast and strong with numerous e-businesses located here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no commuting, very little traffic, and the ability to work from home with excellent communications, your work-life balance will improve immeasurably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alderney is a safe place to live with very low crime and is very family-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there are no party politics on the island, you vote for the candidate, not the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are things that you need to be aware of when thinking of living in Alderney:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an island and relying on most things being imported, living here takes some organisation, especially in the winter when you need to stock up on staple groceries for when the ferry is cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind also that the island only has one school which provides pre-school to secondary level education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to send your kids to Guernsey for higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare is limited and if you have a chronic ongoing health condition there may not be the facilities to treat you on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, some people may find such a small island claustrophobic and if you suffer from mental health conditions these may be exasperated by living in such a small community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But visiting here, and spending some time to get to know the island and its inhabitants will help you decide if moving to this wonderful island is the right move for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"\/move\/deciding-where-to-live\/\">How to Decide Where to Move Next<\/a>.
