Hello! I have recently relocated here for work and I am looking for an apartment in Zug available immediately.

I prefer to live in the center, near the train station in a 2- to 4-room apartment but I would consider other options.

I have looked at a few rental websites and called re a couple of apartments I liked but it seems the good ones go out fast!

Thank you!

What price range are you looking at? Have you considered looking at the towns on the S1 (Baar/Cham/Rot Kreuz) or Steinhause is a 6 minute train ride to Zug.

The price range I have in mind is anywhere from 1500 to 2200 CHF. I rather live in the Zug (in the center) as it would be close to work and I could always take the train from the train station to Zurich or something.

Your price range is about right, then, if you're looking for a fairly small place. Unless you're luckier than me, you won't find anything close to the Bahnhof and more than 2 rooms under 2000 or so, and even then they'll be fairly small and dark. The good places approach 3000.

I'm actually looking for a place right in that area as well, since I'm starting a new job about 100 meters from the station. I'm trying to keep the rent under 1500 if I can, though, so I'm looking for a roommate. If you're interested, PM me, but otherwise, best I can recommend is to hit up www.alle-immobilien.ch every day, search the latest apartments, and call ASAP. Email does not seem to be a viable way to get a response around here. ;-)

Also, it seems that the housing market in these parts is cyclical, and you've just missed the big early July intake (apartments in this canton supposedly free up every 3 months for some reason). Expect that it might take you a little while to find the perfect place!

Cheers and good luck!

October is the next big opening. I know here in Cham there are a lot of apartments in your range- if you dont mind a speedy 10 minute train ride.

My neighbor has her apartment up on zugerkb.ch site- 2.5 room apartment, newly renovated last year, all new appliances and new bathroom for 1370/ month including NK. An open mind is all one needs to find a great place....

Or this in Zug:

Have you even tried placing an ad in Amtsblatt?

That's a great idea! I would definitely try placing an ad with the Amtsblatt. Hopefully something would come out.
