MapitOut Tool: To help you decide where to live

When you’re moving to the Netherlands for a job, perhaps the most important decision you’ll face is: where are you going to live? Welcome to NL has developed a free tool to help you with that decision: the MapitOut Tool.

Select your workplace, travel time and preferred mode of transport

In the MapitOut Tool, you can first indicate where you will be working, how you want to get to work and what your preferred travel time should be. You will then see a map showing the areas where you could live.

Include your partner and children

Do you also have a partner with a job in the Netherlands? If so, you can add the location of that job as well. A second area for living will then be displayed, in a different colour. Do you have children who go to school? Within the areas shown, you can indicate that you are looking for a school. These will then also be displayed on the map. 

Use the MapitOut Tool to make your decisions easier.
