2.5 Zimmer Genossenschaftswohnung

This 2.5-room apartment offers 57 m² of living space and is located on the 4th floor in Basel’s Lehenmatt quarter, in a property belonging to the Eisenbahner-Baugenossenschaft beider Basel (EBG). The rent is CHF 1,767 per month.

The cooperative values open and communicative residents who appreciate tolerant community living and a mix of generations, and who are interested in contributing actively to the community.

Deposit and pets

• Before moving in, a deposit equal to three months’ rent must be paid into a tenant deposit account. It is later converted into cooperative capital, so rental deposit insurance is not accepted.
• Dogs are not permitted in the cooperative’s residential developments. Apartment cats are allowed; installing a cat net requires prior approval.

Location

The property is in the Lehenmatt quarter, directly by the Birs. In summer, the river is suitable for swimming or for walks to Birsköpfli and the Rhine. Bus routes 36 and 37 provide connections towards St. Jakob and Breite. Nearby shopping options include a Spar neighbourhood store on the corner and a Migros branch on Lehenmattstrasse.

Property and shared areas

The building is part of the cooperative’s residential development along Birs-, Lehenmatt- and Redingstrasse. Shared facilities include seating areas, playgrounds, a rentable guest studio and a community meeting place. A large courtyard is located behind the building. A replacement building made of timber is currently under construction on Lehenmattstrasse; the courtyard will remain undeveloped and is planned as a large landscaped green area with seating and a playground.
