Hi all
We have an oppotunity to move to Zurich and I am wondering roughly how much rents are for a 3-4 bedroomed place in or around there. Investigations seem to indicate they are really high!
Please help

I can confirm! They are really high ... unless you have lived in London Kensingten or Tokyo before, then they might seem ok.
Remember that Zurich is among the most expensive cities in the world.

between 2,000 and 5,000, depending on area, size, and general condition of the apartment. Yes, they are expensive.

For a 3 bedroom place here in Zug, we pay around 2600 CHF per month.
It is not outrageous, but it is also not cheap.

I would say anywhere between 2 and 6 thousand. There are a lot of different factors... you can get relatively small appartments that are cheap have 3 bedrooms but... little else. Becase the transport is so efficient here you could think of living further out of the city, further out of your village.. etc. all bringing the price down considerably. But you are hardly going to move if you can't live as you want to, so it is really important to look online to get an idea and then remember it isn't easy to get the flat of your dreams quickly either.
