Housing, taxes, premiums: This is where life is cheapest

1/5
One of the most attractive settlements in Switzerland: Cadenazzo TI, here is the Robasacco district on the northern slope of Monte Ceneri.

Swiss cities are packed to the brim; The trams are full, there are people everywhere and most of all, high rents. It’s no longer just families who have difficulty finding affordable housing. But there are also alternatives: many residential areas in Switzerland have apartments and detached houses for rent at affordable prices.

Real estate experts at Wüest Partner have calculated the most attractive communities for each major region in Switzerland. Accordingly, Cadenazzo TI, Sant’Antonio TI and Ried are at the top of the country in Kerzers FR. If you filter by communities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, the winners are Rheinfelden AG, Lyss BE and Grenchen SO.

Mittelland rocks at the top

The calculation is based on a community’s housing costs (rents and purchase prices). Besides taxes and health insurance premiums, there are also infrastructures such as schools and medical care. Finally, accessibility is also important, i.e. round-trip distance to the next major city.

Unsurprisingly: Mittelland is on top. Or as “NZZ am Sonntag”, which first reported the research, wrote: “If you want to find happiness, go somewhere near the A1.” As a result, Spreitenbach AG, which is often portrayed in the media as a social hotspot with a concentration of foreigners and gang fights, also takes the top spot: According to Wüest Partner, Spreitenbach is the best-rated municipality with the highest number of municipalities. More than 10,000 people live in the Zurich community. Along with the Tivoli Garden, 450 new apartments are currently being built in one of Switzerland’s largest real estate projects.

Suspended mountain villages

The losers were the mountain villages in Grisons and Valais: they are poorly connected to major centers and do not score points due to low rental costs or house prices due to a housing shortage.

These are the communities with the lowest cost of living in Switzerland’s eight major regions:

Greater Zurich area

Spreitenbach AG, Zell ZH, Dällikon ZH

Northwest Switzerland

Rheinfelden AG, Melligen AG, Wohlen AG

Eastern Switzerland

Sirnach TG, Aadorf TG, Felben-Wellhausen TG

Greater Berne region

Lyss BE, Belp BE, Grenchen SO
