Where should I live in Vevey?
We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Vevey, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a studio apartment to a larger family home. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Homegate, ImmoScout24, and Comparis are popular real estate platforms in Switzerland where you can filter by location, price, size, and other features. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide valuable local knowledge and help negotiate rental contracts. Another option is to look for listings in local newspapers or community bulletin boards. These can often be found in supermarkets or community centers. Once you've found a potential place, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and ask any questions. If you're moving from abroad, you might want to consider temporary accommodation first, such as a serviced apartment or hotel. This can give you a base while you conduct your property search. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to submit an application. This usually involves providing proof of income and a copy of your passport. In Switzerland, it's common for landlords to require a deposit of up to three months' rent. Remember, the rental market in Switzerland can be competitive, so it's important to act quickly when you find a place you like. It's also worth noting that in Vevey, as in the rest of Switzerland, it's common for apartments to be rented unfurnished," said one person in Vevey.
