Living in Winterthur
Winterthur is the sixth-largest city in Switzerland with a population of over 105,000. It is rich in employment options and has an excellent range of educational institutions, but above all, it offers one thing: quality of life. Pleasant residential areas with all the necessary infrastructure are set in ample green space – it is not for nothing that Winterthur is dubbed “garden city”. The seven wooded hills surrounding the town provide an ideal recreational backdrop. Together with the unusually high number of cultural institutions and the diversity of shopping opportunities, this creates a vibrant mix of city culture and small-town charm. And there are enough indoor and outdoor sports facilities to keep sports aficionados happy all the year round.
Those looking for culinary delights will visit one of over 400 restaurants serving anything from Thai green curry to typically Swiss “Rösti”. The city’s seven districts each have outstanding infrastructure including kindergarten, primary schools, sports facilities, shopping centers, banks, churches, post offices and much else that makes everyday life smooth and unencumbered. The city of Winterthur is ideally located, with short distances to the most important business centers and easy connections to all other parts of Switzerland and the world by both public and private transport.
Winterthur boasts a very dynamic housing market. The construction boom of the past few years is continuing unabated. We all have our own idea of what constitutes a dream house or dream apartment, and the diversity of housing in the Winterthur region, usually at a fair price and in an environment with favorable cost of living, is big enough to fulfil most wishes.
