As an American who relocated here from the suburban life, I can tell you NOT to expect a home away from home at all. What you want just simply doesn't exist here. The size, space, measurements, price, etc are all completely different from what we are used to. Especially price! Parking isn't always included, so if you are bringing a car, expect to pay extra for a space. I strongly recommend you do a ton of research online and see what's available on sites like homegate.ch and comparis.ch. Start setting the expectations now and things will go a lot smoother
