Hello everyone !

I will be moving to Zurich soon.
And I would like to have some advise.

Do you guys know Wipkingen area? Schwamendingen Mitte area? Affoltern area ? Can you tell me how it is ?

I was looking for an apartment to rent. All the 3 apartments are the same sq (around 30 sq), nevertheless the prices differ: 1850CHF for the first one, 950 for the second 1990 for the last one.

Need some advise to know where the best area is.

Thank you for your help ! I will appreciate it !

Hello,


Wipkingen is more or less in the centre, its a nice area. Good public transport there aswell. Schwamendingen is a bit further away. I don't know Affoltern very well but it`s not so close to the centre.
I would go for wipkingen!
Good luck with everything

I would probably go for the apartment in Wipkingen (if your decision is mainly location here) because it is not really far centre of things, plus has transport options, and that price is not bad. I don't know about Schwamendingen. Affoltern I think is far.. I have a friend living there and it is a pain to take the bus out there and at night after going out would need to take a cab back ($$). Anyways good luck with your choice

keep in mind that the greater Zurich area is all very well connected by public transport, so you can get from another neighborhood to Wipkingen easily by train as well.

Thank you for all your answers ! So nice of you all! It really helps me to make my decision
