The maps produced by the property portal homegate.ch reveal that Zurich is home to the neighourhoods with the most expensive average rents.
The priciest area in Zurich is around the Paradeplatz tram stop where a 70-square metre, three-bedroom apartment will set you back on average 3,760 Swiss francs (€3,390) a month. That is 520 francs more than two years ago, according to homegate.ch.
Other very expensive parts of Zurich include the area near the Bahnhofstrasse/HB tram stop (an average 3,320 francs) and at Rudolf-Brun-Brücke (3,330 francs).
But the Zurich city map also shows that far cheaper rents can be found if you are prepared to live further away along the city’s tram lines.
The cheapest rents are around the Roswiesen tramp stop in District 12. At an average of 1,370 francs, rents here are just 40 percent of the prices you would pay in Paradeplatz.
Geneva takes second place overall
Three Geneva tram stop areas can boast rents of over 3,000 francs a month for 70-square metre three-bedroom apartments – Bel-Air and Bel-Air Cité (both 3,040 francs) and Molard (3,010 francs).
One other fact stands out regarding Geneva. There are very few tram stops where rents are under 2,000 francs – a symptom of the city’s shortage of rental apartments.
