Searching for a room/shared apartment or flat (WG)

If you are looking for a room in an apartment (in German commonly called a WG or Wohngemeinschaft, meaning apartment-sharing community), there are several places you can look. Most of the following links lead to German language websites, although advertisements can be found in English, Italian, etc.

• Here you can place an ad(vert) to either offer or find a room, as well as search available rooms/roommates Switzerland-wide.

http://www.wgzimmer.ch

• Similar to that above.

http://www.wg24.ch

• These two addresses both point you to the ETH/Uni Marktplatz/Whiteboard--just check out the link for "Wohnungen." This site is also great if you're looking for used items, sports partners, etc.

http://marktplatz.unizh.ch or http://marktplatz.ethz.ch

Siedlungen There are some special ecological communities such as: http://www.kraftwerk1.ch that you might see advertised. Some offer one community meal a day, which is included in the rent.
