Geneva Neighbourhoods and Real Estate



Geneva is divided into 8 districts, among which Eaux-Vives, Servette and Petit-Saconnex, Paquis and Nations, and Jonction. Those who want to buy a property in one of the Geneva neighborhoods will find out that there is shortage of housing. It may be difficult to meet all the criteria – good standard, good price, and good location.

If you are looking for Geneva luxury real estate, you can buy a castle within short distance to the centre of the city.

For the price of €36,000,000, you will get a castle with 10 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, and 8 bedrooms. You can buy luxury real estate for less than that if you check Geneva properties in the airport area. Here, you can get a mansion with 6 bathrooms, 5 reception rooms, and 7 bedrooms for €9,700,000.

Jonction is another residential district to look for rentals.

Surprisingly, here, you can find an apartment of 16 sq. meters for €1,230 a month. For this money, you will get a fully furnished apartment with a bathroom, 1 balcony, and Wi-Fi.

If you prefer to buy an apartment rather than rent, you can find one in Champel. This residential neighborhood is considered as posh because of the many luxurious apartments, natural spaces, and parks, and its proximity to the centre. Most residencies consist of high-scale and mid-range apartments, and there are only a few budget residencies. In this area, you can find a 7-room apartment of 220 sq. meters for the price of €2,700,000. You will get an apartment in very good condition, and you can rent a garage nearby.
