Currently on a short term assignment in Zurich but may be staying long term.....need help finding a top apartment in the city.....I am used to New York rents so expense is not necessarily a problem.....anyone know good estate agents/real estate brokers?

Try www.homegate.ch! I found my apartment through this site and I'm very happy with it ! Good luck!

Hi Matthew,

Welcome to Zurich, I am sure there is a link in this website for this issue.
Though as a quick first point of reference try homegate.ch, it has short term as well as short term lets.

There are many areas in which to live in Zurich. I have chosen Seefeld which is seen as teh expensive, fashionable area, but as many posts on this site say it isnt the place to experience a multicultural Switzerland.

Anyways, I know what its like to start in Zurich, so if you would like to go for a drink PM me.

OH i didn't know that Seefeld is not a multicultural place to live in (Hm.... obviously I didn't read enough in this forum), Im going to move there.
But anyway it seems like a very decent place to settle in for a while at least.

And Matt, you could also try www.comparis.ch/ in which this covers homegate and some other house hunting websites.

Good luck with your house hunting.

Its a fantastic place, I love it...it isnt Langstrasse which some prefer for its more urban feel.

I just thought I'd give both sides of the picture :-)

oh Langstr. hahaaa.... street full of those men's club? hheeee..

Well ... doesnt matter, the most important is... Im IN THE CITY!!!

It's something I need for someone coming from a big city like Hong Kong *wink*

Ok Mavis, I'm sure in this big-little city, you need to live a central as possible. Especially when from Hong Kong.

I'll make sure to keep a look out for you
