Just curious, what could approximately 1 million euros get you in Zurich vs Lucern vs Basel in terms of a nice large flat in a convenient location?

A fast car and a few fast women. Why don't you look at a few property sites?

Can you recommend some good ones? Which would be the 'good value but nice' neighborhoods in the Zurich area for sample? Thanks.

What I can recommend is using the search feature on this site.

Mugged or abducted

friends............real friends

most properties in zurich are around 10,000 Sfr./ sq m.

Thanks gooner. Great idea.

you could try www.homegate.ch

you'll start to get an idea . . .

Prices will be in CHF though

Ah, now we know why the Swiss girls chased you...

http://www.homegate.ch is good, so is http://alle-immobilien.ch/home - it is a search engine for property sites in Swiss Cheese Land. Good luck.

Only 1 million? probably not...

Laid?

Perhaps the pitch went something like this, with truthteller sporting his favourite wide-lapelled flower-print shirt with shades on head and medallion dangling :
"Hey baby, I'm new in town ! If I'd known there were girls as beautiful as you round here then I would have left Eastern Asia/Europe* sooner !"
"You look like a million dollars ! Speaking of which , where can a man find a some quality property round here (present company excepted) ? "
"Well you'd better believe it : that's just the kind of guy I am baby !"

Yet again you made me laugh DaveA

alternately

Instantly ridiculed by your "peers"?

Not a lot in ZH but are you talking about buying for cash? It's not generally considered a good investment to buy residential in CH as the gains tax can be as high as 80% and the extraordinary Swiss mortgage system combined with the Swiss wealth tax keeps prices artifically low.

Rent something nice and blow the rest on those women.

A lot of Old Spice.

Showing your age there - can you still buy that muck? I thought it went out with my grandad .

They even have a website - http://www.oldspice.com/ - the bottle looks different than I remember. I have fond memories of this stuff - I "borrowed" my dads cut throat razor and some of his old spice when I was 14 and "scored" for the first time down the youth club disco. I think girls were a little less discerning in those days. Anything that did not smell of coal tar soap was a sign of affluence. Then I progressed to Brut - it was the only stuff I could afford with my weekend job - I can still smell that stuff in my head. Halycon days!
