“Basel is unique in terms of the opportunities it offers to so many international architects: the city welcomes works with innovative character and worldwide renown. Our contemporary architecture attracts thousands, if not tens of thousands, of architecture tourists to the region.”

A broad offering to fulfill every wish

Whether you are looking for a chic designer apartment, a pretty house in a child friendly neighborhood or a sophisticated residence: it can be found in the Basel area. The variety of choice within such a small area is generous. Just a few kilometers away from the bustle of urban life in the city center, you will find quiet residential neighborhoods, attractive suburbs and modern houses in idyllically situated villages.

In comparison with other cities such as Zurich or Geneva, real estate prices in Basel are remarkably low. And for those who work in the Basel region, it is often possible to live in France or Germany. Approximately 50,000 people cross the border each day to come and work in Basel.
