Moving to Karlsruhe in 3months

I am due to move from central switzerland to Karlruhe in the next 3 months. My job will be located Ettlingen. I am considering registering my daughter at the European school north of Karlsruhe. Which area in/around Karlsruhe would you recommend I search home to enable my daughter to be close to the school tram plan, while avoiding too much traffic jam to go to Ettlingen. Anyone having this experience with children age 10 attending European school ? thanks for any advise.
