I will be looking for accommodation in the area of Thalwil/Rueschlikon/Adliswil starting from 1st of August. I would prefer unfurnished modern build appartment near the International School (Upper School) up to SFr 1800.

I will greatly appreciate if anyone could drop me an e-mail (could be found if you click on my profile). I have tried comparis.ch but as someone has mentioned in the forum, this is not the most reliable way for finding good accommodation.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

John

Hi John-

Are you coming to teach at the ZIS upper school? My husband Bill teaches 7th grade history at the campus in Horgen.

You might like to join us here...

and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Expats-in-Zurich

to learn more about the area you will soon be living in. Also you could post your message there in case anyone has a lead for you.

We live in Langnau am Albis which is very close to the upper school - a history teacher at the upper school lives here as well and after this next school year when the new school is built and the middle school moves to the villa in Kilchberg my husband will be able to bike there and is happy about that.

If you go here...

you can see an example of something coming up for rent here in May.

You could also go here...

to check what is posted with regards to apartments for rent.

For example...

Furnished/Unfurnished Apartment in ThalwilCentrally located apartment in Thalwil will be available in the end of June as either furnished or unfurnished.

The 3.5 room apartment is 90 m2 with a large balcony overlooking mainstreet in Thalwil. The monthly rent is 1,780 CHF and is inclusive of the water. The electricity bill has been 50 CHF's every two months and then we generally have gotten some CHF's back at the end of the year when they do the actual calculation based upon our usage.

Address:
Götthardstrasse 42
8800 Thalwil

The main bedroom has one bed, three closets (for hanging clothes), two drawer cabinets (folded clothes) and one dresser. The second bedroom (we use it primarily as an office/guest room) has a desk and a futon. The main living area has two couches, a dining table and four chairs, TV, DVD and CD player. The bathroom has a mini washer in it as "Waschentag" is only every second Thursday. So, the mini washer hooks up to the bathtub for washing of clothes, which then can be hung up in the apartment to dry (I plan to leave the drying racks as well). Finally, the Kitchen has a dishwasher and oven (no microwave -a separate one could be purchased though) and is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups, glasses, silverware, hand mixer and such. I will even leave the iron, ironing board and hoover.

It is located directly next door to Starbucks, across the street from COOP (open until 8 PM) and also across the street from the Post Office. Migros and Denner are within a 3 minute walk as well. It takes 2 minutes to walk from our apartment to the Gleis in Thalwil. We haven't had a car during the 2.5 years we have lived here and have had no problems living here as the trains are great and close. We are in Enge in just 4-8 minutes or ZHB in 8-12 minutes, depending on the train.

Please reply to this ad and we will gladly send over some photo's of the apartment.

Good luck and HTH!!!

Hi Carmen,

John
