We are in Zurich (gotta update my location) and looking for a place to live. My husband has a friend who lives in Nanikon and we went out there last weekend. It seems like a great place to be with my 4 year old who loves nature and running around. Myself, I have been tense with her around cars and streets since we got here and it was nice to relax. There is a Migros, Denner, Post, and bakery within walking distance (instead of 1 tram & 1 bus). Basically, it seems great.

So, what's the catch? The S-Bahn stop is right there but it didn't seem too loud at all and it would go to Zurich in 13 minutes every half hour.

What would the downsides of living there be?

And most importantly, I am trying to figure out how to give birth while living there. Do most people go to the city (by train?) or what? I was thinking of a home birth. Does anyone have experience with that in Nanikon or one of the other small towns around Zurich?
