Hi,
I am going to move to Zurich at the end of February for 5 months.
I was thinking how much time it can take to find room in March?
Would be possible in one month? I will have full time job so I will be able to visit max one flat/room per second day.

Could you please share your experience?

Are there websites for rooms to rent in shared flats where there are not so many viewers?

Thanks,
Bart

takes on average D days where D is given by the formula:

D = (days to next standard moving date) / (amount you are willing to pay coefficient * how picky you are coefficient * how much effort you put in * flexibility coefficient)

About an hr.

Look on here or easyroommate.com and you should have a viable list in 10 mins. A few emails, txts and no probs setting up visits that evening. Visit a cpl, pick the one you like and bish bash bosh job done.

www.homegate.ch.en

100% agree! homegate.ch is the best by far, they have section where you can specified what your looking for, meaning location, price and size. An email will be sent to you every morning, with new apartments posted on their website.

i just got an apartment a week ago, took me 6 months to find a suitable location no fun.
To be honest if you are fussy about price and where you would like to live here in CH, then it could take much longer.

Good luck

Ps. www.comparis.ch is also helpful, it has canton/state tax calculations.
