| I will be moving with my family to Switzerland.
Our jobs will require commuting to both Zurich and to PSI/Villigen.
What towns/villages would you recommend to live in?
I prefer to use public transport for commuting. My child will attend elementary school.
Thank you for your suggestions | |

Hello, welcome to the forum.
Well, the limit here is PSI, there's no train station at walkable distance, maybe a bike or an scooter can help. If not, the only way to get there in public transport is with a bus that departs from Brugg also in canton Aargau. From Brugg there's a train that makes less than 30 min to Zurich main station.
Another city near to PSI is Baden, but a train + bus ride is needed. Check google maps and the Swiss train schedule
https://www.sbb.ch/en/home.html From there you can start to filter the rental ads far away from public transport.
There are furnished short-term rentals, so you don't have to worry too much about not having a place to live. You can leave a short term rental at the end of each month, usually 1 month notice period. Only downside, the rental prices is 50-100% more expensive than a long term rental. Renting a flat/house is more complicate because you need to visit them and contracts are at least 1 year long.
Finally, a lot of people working in PSI live in other towns around Brugg and Baden. Maybe carpooling is an option.
