Cooperative housing in Winterthur
Winterthur is the second-largest city in the canton of Zurich. Its cooperative tradition goes back to the industrial era, and today large and small cooperatives let apartments in almost every district, from Töss and Wülflingen to Oberwinterthur and Seen.
Rents are lower than in Zurich, which is about 20 minutes away by S-Bahn. Available cooperative apartments are therefore in high demand, especially among families.
