Where to live between Amsterdam & Rotterdam

Dear Community,

Soon we will move from London to Netherlands with my wife and 2 yo son.

I will work in Rotterdam and my wife, as she is a financial auditor, has a very high chance to work around Amsterdam.

We are struggling to pick where to live. We want to live in a house with 3+ bedrooms, away from the city crowd (After Istanbul and London..please some rest..)

Currently looking at Den haag, a very good place to live but commute to Amsterdam is 1h+ . Might live close to Amsterdam but housing becomes an issue. Found out Amstelveen as a good option, but not cheap and also not easy to commute Rotterdam. (But if amstelveen is your favourite i would rather commute myself than my wife)

Please advice; Considering scooling, expat friendliness, big&beautiful housing and OK to commute Rotterdam and Amsterdam, which one would you reccomend to live in?

Rotterdam? The hague ? Amstelveen ? Any part of Amsterdam ? Or somewhere else ?

Thank you very much in advance !
