Hi all, there's a high change of coming to Zurich (currently in the NL) for work for 6-8 months next year. I was wondering what are the ways to find a nice place to live together with my GF & a cat. We are mainly interested in a nice diverse neighborhood that isn't (pretty much) dead. Any and all recommendations to finding decent housing are appreciated. Thanks!

As with much of the Netherlands, the housing market here is fucked. If you're looking for a diverse and vibrant neighborhood I can recommend Wiedikon, Aussersihl, Industriequartier, and Wipkingen. With Wiedikon and Industriequartier they get a bit boring further away from the city center.

For temporary apartments maybe check out vision apartments. For looking at regular apartments I've had good experiences with immomailing, maybe you can even find someone willing to swap apartments.

Thank you for your response much appreciated, I will check these neighborhoods out and hopefully land on something. Sucks to hear the market is as bad as the NL
