Listing no longer active: Zimmer in einer Wohnung am Flussufer

A 15 m² room in a shared apartment in Dietikon (8953) is available from 1 December 2026. The monthly rent is CHF 615 and includes utilities and shared household expenses, such as cleaning supplies. A CHF 2,500 deposit is required; the cooperative’s CHF 10,000 deposit is shared among the flatmates.

Shared apartment

The apartment is home to Matteo, 32, Alise, 33, and Michela, 24, who are looking for a fourth flatmate. Matteo enjoys nature, climbing and snowboarding, and works on a mental-health startup. Alise enjoys nature, reading and plant-based food. Michela is working on her master’s thesis and enjoys spending time with friends and good food.

The household values a cosy, sociable atmosphere, with conversations and occasional shared meals, while respecting everyone’s individual schedule and need for time alone. The preferred flatmate is English-speaking, tidy, clean and communicative. Friends and guests are welcome, including for occasional dinners, but this is not a party flat. The residents work and value a good night’s sleep.

A valid residence permit is required. Neurodivergent and queer people are welcome. Discrimination and sexism are not welcome. Dogs are welcome, and Matteo and Alise may get a dog in the future. Cats are not permitted because of an allergy.

Apartment and surroundings

The building is next to the Limmat, beyond Glanzenberg Park. The room’s bathroom, which has a shower, is shared with Michela; both bathrooms in the apartment can be used. Shared facilities include washing machines and dryers in the basement, a drying room, a cellar, a bicycle room and outdoor bicycle parking.

Birds nest on the balcony, and wildlife in the surrounding area includes hedgehogs, beavers, foxes, herons, ducks and other animals. Cats and dogs are also found nearby. Insects, including mosquitoes, are present in summer, and spiders sometimes appear. Railway tracks are behind the building, but the apartment faces away from them to avoid the noise.

The train station is a six-minute walk away. Trains to Zurich HB take 11 minutes and run every 15 minutes until around 00:30 on weekdays; services run through the night on weekends and on some public holidays and event days. The route includes Schlieren, Altstetten, Hardbrücke and HB. Dietikon is outside fare zone 110 and must be included in an SBB travel pass. A garage is available in the building; blue parking spaces under the bridge can be used with a monthly subscription.

Important household requirements

• Cooking chicken, turkey, duck or any other bird meat is not permitted in the home because of a severe, potentially life-threatening allergy.
• Takeaway food containing these ingredients may be eaten at home occasionally and with care.

A wardrobe and mattress may be left by the departing flatmate. A desk and some other furniture may also be available for use.
